John Rae's Celtic Feet began life in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1998 and over a five year period recorded two critically acclaimed albums Celtic Feet and Beware The Feet for the record label Caber Music.

​'With the growing of Scotland's nationhood, so too has grown its creative identity, and in the area of jazz, a fresh, new vibrant sound has arrived. John Rae's Celtic Feet use jazz as a base, original compositions that use traditional motifs and jazz harmony to create a distinctly Scottish sound where free improvisation and traditional Celtic music each has an equal voice'.
