Description
Recorded with a close- knit acoustic band — Jonathan Bauer (trumpet), Rob Barron (piano), Theo Malka-Wishart (double bass) and Joshua Walker-Martin (drums), with Ross Stanley (organ) featured on select tracks — the record blends original compositions with reimagined standards, balancing classic jazz language with a playful contemporary voice.
Ahead of release, the album has received early praise from Bebop Spoken Here (“a top contender for Vocal Album of the Year”) and UK Jazz News (“unashamedly melodic, swinging and good-humoured”).
Appealing to fans of contemporary jazz, vocal-led records and artist-driven releases, Chatterbox sits comfortably alongside modern UK jazz releases while remaining accessible to listeners drawn to classic swing and songcraft.
A feature on Chatterbox is scheduled for the March issue of Jazzwise, and the release will be supported by an article in The Guardian. Plays on Jazz FM.
Chatterbox is available as a Compact Disc in gatefold DigiSleeve, limited to 200 copies
Chatterbox is available as a Pink Colour Vinyl, limited to 150 copies
