Newer Ground Jazz

Newer Ground Jazz is a highly creative group of talented musicians pushing the boundaries of convention and creating music that challenges the listener to come on an unforgettable sonic journey which soars and then brings them safely home. It is an avant-garde group with a power-house rhythm section over which lyrical soprano, alto and tenor saxophones float. It combines often free improvisation with a beautiful array of stylistic genres. At times tethered to recognisable traditions such as hard-bop and south American grooves the musicians obviously enjoy cutting the safety ropes and flowing freely. The shifting structure of the performance blurs the distinction between the known and the unknown, between existing melodies and music which is being composed on the spot. The band’s energy and infectious beats will get listeners tapping their feet and then when they least expect it, they will be delighted by a change in mood. Spontaneous and fresh, you will be treated to funky hints of reggae, overtones of jazz and maybe shadows of pop, you just don’t know!

The band’s energy and infectious beats make it perfect for clubs, festivals, parties and anniversaries whilst its soulful ballads can also create a beautiful atmosphere for any corporate and musical production.
