Charlie Hart's Equators are a collective of London-based R'n'B/jazz musicians, exploring the roots of the music they've spent a lifetime playing. The music, broadly speaking African-leaning R n B, is full blooded, uplifting and unprocessed.

Originating in the 1990s, these Equators are fronted by Charlie along with the astonishingly dynamic sax and harp man, Frank Mead (Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings, Leo Seyer, Gary Brooker).

The line-up is completed by the brilliant guitarist Jimmy Roche (Major Surgery, Rocket 88) with a dream rhythm section comprising the legendary Les Morgan on drums, and virtuoso bassist Phil Scragg.
