Simply Red

Mancunian sextet Simply Red confess to deriving much of their musical and lyrical inspiration from the American soul greats of the 60s and 70s. Derive they may, but derivative they most certainly are not, as this concert shows. Recorded at the Casino, Montreux, during this year's Montreux Jazz Festival, these highlights include their hits 'Open up the red box' and 'Holding back the years'. Introduced by Anne Nightingale
