About this album
The Drum Is Everything is a striking 1984 statement from Carmel, fusing jazz, blues and soul-jazz into a sharply individual sound. The album builds on the band’s distinctive mix of smoky vocals, brass colour and rhythmic drive, with interpretations and originals that move between torch-song tension, modern electric blues and cool jazz atmosphere. Its version of classics such as Stormy Weather and Willow Weep for Me underlines how confidently Carmel reworked familiar material, while the title track and I Thought I Was Going Mad show the group’s own personality. As part of the early-1980s British jazz-pop crossover, it helped establish Carmel as one of the era’s more unusual and arresting acts.
