On Down on Your Knees, Michael Garrick revisits his sacred-jazz obsessions through the language of a modern small big band, setting hymns, blues, and standards in luminous, late-20th-century colour. With vocalist Anita Wardell alongside Martin Shaw, Steve Waterman, Jim Tomlinson and others, the 1999 album feels like a devotional songbook rewritten for restless, metropolitan believers.

Classic 1999 album from Michael Garrick and his band, featuring Anita Wardell (vocals), Martin Shaw, Steve Waterman (trumpet), Jim Tomlinson, Paul Booth (saxophone), Mark Nightingale (trombone) and others. Includes a sumptuous reworking of Garrick's iconic "Dusk Fire", which originally appeared on the 1966 The Don Rendell / Ian Carr Quintet LP of the same name.
