Artie Zaitz is considered one of the most exciting and talented guitarists on the UK jazz scene today.

A true jazz scene veteran yet still in his thirties, Artie Zaitz is a musician of taste, imagination, and rare fire.

Fresh, fun, cool, yet full of grit and infused with trademark humour, in this, his debut album as leader, Zaitz lays down 6 tracks recorded in full analog glory.

The Regulator (named in honour of the nickname bestowed on Zaitz fby Mark Kavuma for his ability to hold down a groove) presents some of the cream of the London jazz scene in an exciting new combination. First call keys man Ross Stanley stretches out his harmonic and stylistic versatility on the Hammond C-3 (Big Bertha), whipping up a musical tornado ably abetted by drummer Steve Brown who provides the greasy, swinging, yet solid groove that drives the band. Dave Pattman on Conga revels in the space he finds to showcase his Afro-Cuban and Latin American influences adding delectable flavour to the groove.
