Post Description

The story of NiteFlyte begins with Tony Campbell, a seasoned jazz guitarist from East London who has worked professionally as a musician for the past twelve years. As the founder and lead member of the group Perception, he was signed to Talkin’ Loud. In 1992 he was invited to join the group Act Of Faith as guitarist, songwriter and producer, quickly establishing a reputation for the group with albums for both Island Records and Expansion.

When the lead singer of Act Of Faith left to pursue a solo career, Tony had already been playing guitar on the UK’s burgeoning street jazz scene. Inspired by the success of Down To The Bone, Tony assembled a new group of top musicians and NiteFlyte was born. 

30,000ft”, the group’s debut album, was released during the summer of 1997 on the Passion Jazz label. At this time Passion Jazz also secured a US release for Niteflyte with New York based label Instinct which took their music to the upper heights of the US smooth jazz charts. “Ascension” the album was released in December 1998, and reunited Tony with musicians including Simply Red’s guitarist Mark Jaimes who contributes extensively on this 2007 release “U-Turn”. Furthermore, the brand new album has secured a guest appearance by legendary Philly soul diva Jean Carne, this being her first new recording for seven years and her first EVER recording in the UK - out on Passion Jazz September 4, 2007 "NITEFLYTE - U-TURN"

NiteFlyte return for their third album on Passion Jazz. The album once again reunites multi-musician/producer Tony Campbell with Simply Red guitarist Mark Jaimes and a host of impressive guests including Philly vocalist and soul legend Jean Carne on the current modern soul floorfiller “If You Believe”.
