Photograph: Kerstin Rodgers/Redferns The Style Council came at a crucial time in my development as a little lefty kid. You'll also find Mick's amazing musical skills on albums with former Style Council member Steve White, under the name Talbot/White and The Players (with the addition of former Ocean Colour Scene bassist Damon Minchella), in the jazz/funk band The Players. The Style Council in 1985 (from left): Paul Weller, DC Lee and Mick Talbot. Post-TSC, Mick has worked with Paul on his first 3 solo albums (Paul Weller, Wild Wood and Stanley Road) and more recently for On Sunset (Baptiste, Village & Walkin'). We talk about performing with The Jam, forming The Style Council and those incredible singles, EPs, albums, videos and live dates including Tokyo, Glastonbury, Live Aid and so much more! 'Mick's Up' is a soul jazz rave up-showcasing Talbot's bluesy gospel inflected organ. While it's undeniable that the period was marked by unevenness. On 1st March 1983, Paul Weller officially pulled the wraps off his new project, to be calledВ The Style Council.ДЇollowing the split of The Jam, Paul had re-signed to Polydor as a solo artist, and soon recruited former Merton Parkas, Dexy's Midnight Runners and Bureau keyboardist, Mick Talbot who remained his soul brother and sounding board for the next seven years. In retrospect, the Style Council has always been looked at as the (better part of a) decade that constituted Paul Weller's lost in the wilderness period, the time between his sharp, focused songs with the Jam and his more adult, reflective work as a solo artist. My Guest is The Style Council Legend - Mick Talbot - keyboardist, songwriter, singer, composer and record producer.
