horizon 22 were formed in the late 1990s out of a desire to fuse Hammond organ 60s Blue Note grooves with 70s film soundtrack atmospherics.

Jazz-groove influences include Jimmy McGriff, Big John Patton and Grant Green. Our film influences include Roy Budd - we cover the"Get Carter" theme - and Lalo Schifrin, mastermind behind the "Mission Impossible Theme" and "Bullitt" soundtrack, among many others. The band regularly feature their own arrangements of "Bullitt" and "Enter the Dragon" music, which takes elements from the incidental music as well as the main themes.

But it's the bands' original tunes which mark them out. An amalgam of all their influences, certainly, but put together with a sound and attitude that is all horizon 22.
