Sharp Little Bones with Tony Kofi

Praised for their “excellent, imaginative and absorbing” compositions (Jazz Journal) and “engaging, hugely varied, well-presented” music (Jazzwise), Sharp Little Bones have carved out a distinctive space that bridges deep jazz traditions with modern energy and edge. Within well-crafted, melodic writing and tight, energetic, rhythmical arrangements, their sound has a fresh, contemporary appeal – their extraordinarily energetic and vibrant sound is an eclectic melting pot of jazz, funk, blues, bop and electronica. Already renowned as great soloists in their own right, “Sharp Little Bones’ ensemble energy allows them to flow fluidly through some frequently complex rhythms. Confident, daring and utterly captivating.” Sharp Little Bones is a virtuosic quartet playing “excellent, imaginative and absorbing” (JAZZ JOURNAL) compositions that reach deep within and far outside the jazz canon. Their confident and daring approach to group interplay is baked in after a succession of sold-out live dates. Their debut double album, Sharp Little Bones Volumes I & II, released in 2023 by Ubuntu Music, received widespread critical acclaim and support from BBC Radio 3 and Jazz FM. “Engaging, hugely varied, well-presented, characterised by élan and enthusiasm” (JAZZWISE), the album was supported by a sold-out UK tour culminating in a headline show at the London Jazz Festival and a prestigious slot at Nottingham’s Rock City, supporting the Kanneh-Masons. Expect catchy, melodic and well-arranged “interesting and accessible” (THE JAZZ MAN) compositions that are "strong on structure" (MARLBANK) amidst tasteful and tight, toe-tapping, “mature, organic and polished” (JAZZ VIEWS) “deft group interplay” (RECORD COLLECTOR), spacious ballads and expansive atmospheres brimming with “beautifully demonstrated” spiritual energy (JAZZ FUEL). Their blockbuster debut double album, Sharp Little Bones (Volumes I & II), is out now on Ubuntu Music, and their next album Step Up! Get Down! is set for release in Autumn 2026.
