Vibration Black Finger
Lascelle "Lascelles" Gordon -- the driving force behind Vibration Black Finger -- astonishes yet again with a magnificent second album.

Having earned his chops as founding member of the Brand New Heavies, Campag Velocet, and Heliocentric World, Lascelle's latest album Can You See What I'm Trying to Say bursts with energy and vivid contrasts, flowing effortlessly between beat-laden grooves, oscillating improvisations, soulful recitations, audio verité, and moody atmospherics

Raw Odoni
Raw Odoni are a modern jazz quartet from South London formed in 2023. We are Hu Spall (ten / sop), Matthew Shorter (piano), Dan Richards (bass) & Christian Lewcock (drums).
The band’s influences are far and wide. We’re loosely post-bop, and have common ground on Coltrane, Monk and Miles. But we listen to everything, from John Cage to The Necks via Fela Kuti and Gong, and a lot of it finds its way in. We’re just vibing off playing together, writing and seeing where it takes us.
