Little Axe is a tackhead-related project by Skip McDonald,
Adrian Sherwood, Keith LeBlanc, Tavin Singh, Kevin Gibbs 
and Saz Bell. The style is a unique hybrid of blues, dub, techno 
& electronica. Little Axe has released four albums and five eps 
since '93 when they started on the On-U Sound, Wired, and
Okeh labels.

For a brief discog check:

I dont think ambient blues is an appropriate description
for the Little Axe. If ambient blues is what you're looking 
for try A Small Good Thing's Slim Westerns or A.P.E.'s
Straylight.

 I've never been a fan of the Little Axe sound but it is 
interesting. The first track i ever heard from them was 
"15 to 4" on the Volume Seven comp cd.

Hope this helps.
