"Jackson Garrett is the nom-de-plume of composer Christopher Gore and his ten piece big band. And what a band it is - a hybrid jazz and rock band, the sound is huge and beefy, with a punchy impact that will make the listener stare in surprise at his loudspeakers. In terms of style this album falls somewhere between the equally hybrid rock-jazz sound of 70s British 'superband' CCS and The Crusaders. Rock guitar solos sit alongside funky sax, backed up with punchy brass and, one has to say, rather a sexy siren vocal chorus. Let Sleeping Dogs Lie is an extremely sassy album, full of in your face tunes and sparkling performances from all the musicians involved. Christopher Gore writes a mean tune and knows how to get the best from both the musicians and the music - he even sings on one or two tracks. Great fun and highly recommended."
John Peters - The Borderland

"The genius behind them is composer and producer Christopher Gore. The music has strong brass accents and will make you reminisce. It is a happy toe-tapper dedicated to Walter Earl Brown, the producer who contributed much to this and many other fine recordings."

"The Jackson Garrett Band is one of jazz music's coolest crew of hip cats who have mastered the art of creating true musical art. Based in southern California, Jackson Garrett's latest album, 'Let Sleeping Dogs Lie' contains 14 jazzy tracks of mood music that is sure to get your toes tapping and your fingers snapping. One of my immediate favorite tracks is "High Time". This is easy listening at its best. There's something really cool about a group of seasoned musicians helping keep music honest and real. Other notable songs include: "You Dirty Dog", "The South Side of the City", and "Owed To The Dan"."
