Doo-Ha!

ATA are proud to release their latest recording of The Lewis Express – Doo Ha!

Featuring flautist Chip Wickham and recorded live to 2-inch analogue tape at All Things Analogue Studios, Leeds, UK, this album is a living, breathing tribute to the golden age of soul-jazz — the electric alchemy of smoky clubs, Sunday afternoons at the record store, and the spiritual communion of groove and grit.

But this isn't nostalgia. It's revival. It's a reminder that music has always been about feel, not files. A testament to ATA’s belief that sound — real sound — should be lived in, worn-in, and passed down like a well-loved record from one
hand to the next.

The Lewis Express began as a humble idea — a tribute to the great soul-jazz recordings of yesteryear. Drawing inspiration from luminaries like Ramsey Lewis, Les McCann, and Galt MacDermot, we sought to channel that unmistakable energy — the kind of jazz that hits your feet and hips first.
