    Brings back so many memories. My family had recently moved from New Addington to West Croydon i was around 15-16 and didn’t know anyone in the area. As time passed i got to know the Gittens family and especially Trevor. He had taught himself how to play bass ( remember there was no internet) mainly by ear. I was fascinated and begged my parents to buy me a bass guitar. Trevor was a genius and soon he was teaching me songs like this along with music from Light if the world, atomsphere, the police, lynx, Michael Jackson etc etc. It was all a big melting pot good music was just good music to us. Those times where magical and looking back maybe the best days of my life. The Gittens family where very special and lots of teenagers would pass by regularly. Trevor was always getting the best records at the time and the uk acid jazz scene was exploding. Trevor had started to make a name for himself as a fantastic bassist and guitarist with an excellent ear. He was on the verge of doing great things and was working on a session with Odessey .
    Unfortunately Trevor passed away suddenly from a brain hemorrhage he was maybe 18. This devastated his family, his friends and myself. I think of him everyday and can honestly say i never had another friend like him even to today.

    I’ll never tire of hailing this legendary Brit Jazz funk anthem. Freeezs greatest ever song, all their ‘successful’ lightweight poppy stuff after was nothing compared to this hard driving masterpiece. That perfect fusion of majestic funky bass guitar, syncopating percussion and Ingrid Allmans cool scintillating vocals has never been equalled before or since IMO. The song still goosebumps the back of my neck at 60 yrs old the same as when I was 16 yrs old back in early 1981. John Rocca was a clever ambitious music biz guy, but I never liked the direction he took his band with the music. He very quickly went from sublime Jazz Funk straight into electro as soon as the fad kicked off in the US. Seemed like he was only after that big commercial hit, money and corporate sell out attitude. It didn’t surprise me at all when he left the music business by the early 90s and went all IT and corporate with some grey nobody telecom company that went public and made him rich by early 2000s

    The simultaneously breezy yet deadpan delivery of the off-kilter 'Southern Freeez, reminds me of a girl I was sweet on at the time it was in the UK charts.
    The titular title is attested to derive from a dance move, "The Freeze,", used by clubbers at the 'Royalty Club' in Southgate, London - I like it very much!

      We use to get the tube from Wimbledon to travel to the Royalty Southgate. Obviously it was played elsewhere, but the Royalty was the place to hear this track, one young lady in particular would hold everyones attention with her moves.

    Lead guitar Gordon Sullivan could give Carlos Santana a run for his money. He was in a band with his brother Keith and singer Boris Anderson. Had the privilege of having them play at my wedding in 1972. Talented boys, they deserved higher recognition.
