Welcome to what will soon be the 'new look' website for Jazz/funk experts 'Protect The Beat'. With the release of the new CD titled 'Intrepid' on July 25th we have arranged to make soundclips (taken from 3 album tracks) easily available either directly from this site or through a link found on www.jazzcds.co.uk.

www.jazzcds.co.uk is also the site at which you can purchase 'Intrepid' either by credit card or cheque. 18 months went into the making of this recording and initial reactions have been both generous and exciting.

With a break in 'live shows' to allow the band's new agents 'International Talent Bookers' time to finalize touring plans for new venues in Europe and the UK, it is recommended that you pick up the new CD on line. As an incentive to buy now, we are waving any charges for postage and packing to Europe, USA & Canada on CD's ordered before Sept 1st.

If you are not already tuned into digital radio giant 'The Jazz' (and you should be) airplay is imminent following the July 25th release, with title track 'Intrepid' the likely choice. In particular don't miss Courtney Pine's show Sunday nights 9PM till 10PM.
