The Gladiators - Back To Roots (2000)

Back to Roots  perfectly sums up this set's sound. No longer dependent on guesting musicians, the group was now a self-contained unit with a lineup including drummer Stanley "Barnabas" Bryan, lead guitarist Clinton Rufus, and keyboardist Audley Taylor, and fleshed out by percussionist Zoot "Skully" Simms and the brass of Bobby Ellis, Felix "Deadly Headly" Bennett, and Dave Madden. 

Back to Roots résume parfaitement le son de cet ensemble. N'étant plus dépendants de musiciens guests, le groupe est maintenant une unité autonome avec une formation composée du batteur Stanley "Barnabas" Bryan, du guitariste Clinton Rufus et du claviériste Audley Taylor, et étoffée par le percussionniste Zoot "Skully" Simms et les cuivres. de Bobby Ellis, Felix Bennett, et Dave Madden.
