Two Banks of Four

Musical Group or Musician

London-based music collective led by Rob Gallagher with contributions from Dillip Harris and vocalist Valerie Etienne; known for blending acid jazz, nu-jazz, downtempo and spiritual jazz, notably on the 2003 album Three Street Worlds.

Review on DeBaser (2005) identifies Rob Gallagher as the project's mastermind, notes past association with Galliano and the Talkin' Loud label, and cites influences from late 1960s/early 1970s spiritual jazz (Alice Coltrane, Pharoah Sanders). The album Three Street Worlds (2003) is specifically highlighted.

DeBaser's review celebrates Two Banks of Four's 2003 album Three Street Worlds for its tasteful blend of acid jazz, nu-jazz, downtempo and spiritual jazz influences. The piece highlights Rob Gallagher's leadership and contributions from Dillip Harris and Valerie Etienne. The album is praised for warmth, versatility and danceable yet atmospheric arrangements.

For:Fans of acid jazz, nu-jazz, downtempo and London club/jazz-fusion scenes.

 Going through the CDs and browsing the hard drive to try to compile the playlist of the year, I realized that the album that went through my player the most times in 2004 is, oddly enough, from 2003: it's "Three Street Worlds" by London's Two Banks of Four.
