Empirical - All For One

Internationally acclaimed live performances, topping critic’s polls and winning armfuls of awards have all helped EMPIRICAL become one of the most feted British jazz bands of recent years.

Mahavishnu Orchestra - High Voltage

When John McLaughlin formed THE MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA, his twin-necked Gibson guitar served as nothing short of a lightning rod, sending a shockwave of sonic energy into uncharted territory between jazz and rock.

David Murray – A Family Affair

Blazing his own uncompromising trail through his decades-long work with the World Saxophone Quartet and numerous collaborations, DAVID MURRAY’s considerable sax firepower remains a conduit between Coltrane, the Grateful Dead and hip hop band The Roots.

Alexander Hawkins – Branching Out

As one of the most prolifically creative and technically gifted players to emerge in recent years, ALEXANDER HAWKINS has already worked with US improv heavyweights Joe McPhee and Marshall Allen, great South African drummer Louis Moholo Moholo and British luminary Evan Parker among many others.

Eliane Elias – Some Velvet Morning

Pianist and singer ELIANE ELIAS always brings a rarified blend of sensuality and intelligence to everything she plays – be it her recent Brazilian treatment of classics by The Doors and Dave Brubeck, her outstanding instrumental work as a solo artist, or her collaborations with Herbie Hancock and as an early member of Steps Ahead.

Kairos 4tet – Ethics & Anthems

Adam Waldmann has emerged in the last four years as one of the most distinctive musicians of his generation, capable of mainlining a special kind of pastoral melancholy and biting rhythmic ingenuity in both his sax playing and with his MOBO Award winning band, Kairos 4tet.
