Review by Paula Edelstein
With Spread Love Like Wildfire, Down To The Bone gets back to the original musical vision its leader, Stuart Wade, had for the band.

The music -- jazz-funk fusion combined with modern retro/club/dance influences all grooved up -- is documented on 11 great tracks that feature the group's core members enhanced by a dynamic horn section, the jazz flute of Jeremy Steig, the organic soul sound of vocalist N'dambi -- formerly of Erykah Badu's group -- as well as live drumming incorporated with the programmed grooves. Read More
