Dave Lewis' 1Up

American saxophonist Dave Lewis's raw and lyrical sound is perfectly matched by the soulful intensity and searing blues vocals of Lizzie Deane. The band lays down the deepest grooves with space for virtuosic improvisation and breathtaking interplay. "It's really, really good." BBC Radio 2

"Kinda jazzy, kinda bluesy, kinda souly – lot's of influences – great singing, great playing – this album is very good – very enjoyable" – Paul Long, BBC producer

American saxophonist Dave Lewis's raw and lyrical sound is perfectly matched by the soulful intensity and searing blues vocals of Lizzie Deane. The band lays down the deepest grooves with space for virtuosic improvisation and breathtaking interplay.
They pick up the standard from where the Crusaders, Rufus and the Meters left off. With their original material and the evocative lyrics Fi Carroll, 1UP bring their own contemporary edge to the groove. Above all it's a band of outstanding musicians who play as one.

Amongst others 1UP musicians have performed, recorded and toured with: John Martyn, The Blockheads, John Mayall, Eric Clapton, Pee Wee Ellis & Fred Wesley, Boy George, Albert Lee, Paloma Faith, Van Morrison, George Coleman, Gil Scott Heron, Ronnie Laws, Jazz Jamaica, Dj Vadim, George Benson, Roy Ayers, Tom Jones, Tina Turner & David Bowie.
