"Wow. Soulful music, played with passion and incredible skill. This harkens to the best funk-jazz of the sixties and seventies and takes it to a new level. Think Headhunters for the new millennium."

Bob Power (The Roots, Erykah Badu, D'Angelo...) NY

Since their last performance at PizzaExpress in Soho, Resolution 88 have made their début in prestigious jazz clubs in Madrid and Barcelona, signed to Splash Blue, and released their second full studio album, ‘Afterglow’. The band are excited to return to PizzaExpress courtesy of Shades of Soul, and will be performing two sets of their original music, taken from ‘Afterglow’, their EP ‘Press Play’ and their début album ‘Resolution 88’. PizzaExpress remains as one of Resolution 88’s favourite venues to perform at, with its crystal clear sound, intimate atmosphere and attentive yet responsive and friendly audiences. The band are excited to return for another night, courtesy of Shades of Soul, and will be performing two sets of their original music, taken from the most recent album ‘Afterglow’, their EP ‘Press Play’ and their début album ‘Resolution 88’.
