Going Back    

….a duo performing great songs, mainly from the 60s and 70s – by artists like Dusty Springfield, Petula Clarke, the Mamas and Papas – duets, well-known film themes and much more.

All their backings are original, with rich instrumentals and lush and authentic orchestral arrangements – all performed and recorded by Jess and Chris. No midifiles or karaoke tracks here, then! Combine this with Jess’s beautiful voice and Chris’s instrumental prowess with keyboard and guitars (played live, really) and superb harmonies - then you have a truly original sound.

Here we have two very experienced and accomplished musicians, both with many years in entertainment.

JESSICA JONES lived and worked in South Africa in the 70s and 80s, performing in cabaret, TV and theatre. Her first single, “Baby I Love You” stayed in the radio charts for an unprecedented 23 weeks. She followed that with a huge hit, “Sunday, Monday, Tuesday”, for which she received three gold discs. Her two albums, produced by none other than Mutt Lange (Shania Twain’s producer and husband), and Trevor Rabin (of Yes fame) resulted in several more hits. She has also appeared with the likes of Dobie Gray, Bob Marley and, not least, Rolf Harris and has toured New Zealand with Blue Mink. Jess has one admission – she doesn’t like singing – she loves it!

CHRIS TEW spent his formative years playing in very successful local bands, then was asked by Kelly Groucutt (of ELO) to join him and other former members to record and tour with “Orkestra” – a great experience and a superb band – two albums, three tours and a film (sorry, movie) in Miami – a hard life, but somebody’s got to do it! He then went on to build his own studio, producing and creating tracks for artists from the Emirates, Ireland, the Caribbean, Italy, South Africa and home-grown talent from all over the UK. At the same time he has been playing in Midlands top sixties band “Session 60”, again with Kelly – loving every minute of it!

Jess and Chris get on like the proverbial “house on fire”, finding real enjoyment in each other’s talents.
