The music unfolds equally in gently weaving turns and dynamic sweeps as they navigate different moods and emotions; from sweet and tender, through to frenetic, assertive energy. The band draws from contemporary jazz, alongside hip-hop, electronica, bebop, minimalism and romantic classical music, producing warm, reflective, open-hearted and lyrical jazz. This appearance sees the band performing all-new material from their forthcoming album release.
