Ashley Henry just released a new track. Just nice and very melodic. He is such a good pianist
Hopefully there will be a new album soon?
Some amazing artists and music in this thread. Living in Italy the London Jazz scene is quite new to me, as this music only arrives sporadically down here. I would expand things to include the other great Jazz being produced around the UK. A lot of music is being made, in the UK, that is finally not just a poor copy of US mainstream jazz. Looks like a Scandi jazz thing is happening in the UK ay last.
My current wow discovery is from the Manchester scene. Jasmine Myra’s Rise, blew me away. I am going to have some fun poking around on what the Gondwana Records have produced.
Rob Luft, is starting to emerge as an interesting guitarist. I enjoyed Dahab Days, and he is great on John Surman’s latest CD. Also on Edition, Laura Judd is quite interesting at times, but too much whimsical with some tracks
I have enjoyed Kit Downes’s work with church organs. Obsidian from a few years back on ECM is brilliant. His wife, Ruth Goller has just made one of the strangest albums ever. The beautiful Skyllumina, is worth digging out.
I bring out the Beyerdynamic T1 V2, when I want that deep heavy bass on the Commet is Coming’s Hyper-Dimensional Expansion Beam, to hammer through my head.
London Brew is another favourite with most of the usual London suspects. Source by Nubya Garcia has also got a lot of plays.
I have just started exploring this rich seam of music. I hope some of these players find their way down to Italy, so as I can see them live.
She’s on the Endlessness album above.
