Doo-Ha!
ATA are proud to release their latest recording of The Lewis Express – Doo Ha! Featuring flautist Chip Wickham and recorded live to 2-inch analogue tape at All Things Analogue Studios, Leeds, UK, this album is a living, breathing tribute to the golden age of soul-jazz — the electric alchemy of smoky clubs, Sunday afternoons at the record store, and the spiritual communion of groove and grit. But this isn't nostalgia. It's revival. It's a reminder that music has always been about feel, not files.…

Days Are Not Days
2009 release ** "When an improvised recording presents itself as a meteor, some foreign object from another civilization, like Days Are Not Days does, we should rejoice that it has entered our atmosphere and like a bolide, exploded upon contact.
