j a d e
new music by Nick Malcolm
j a d e is a new project from trumpeter and composer Nick Malcolm. The group uses sampling and contemporary improvisation to deconstruct Nick's original compositions, influenced by the AACM, J Dilla, Burial and English church music. j a d e brings together leading bassist Will Harris, Birmingham based drummer and producer Ric Yarborough and Get The Blessing saxophonist Jake McMurchie.
Nick is one of the foremost musicians in UK jazz and free improvisation. He has had a gig broadcast on BBC Radio 3's Jazz On 3, released two albums to critical acclaim (a third is on its way) and toured his music nationally, including appearances at the London and Manchester jazz festivals. He has worked alongside many prominent contemporary musicians, such as Alexander Hawkins, Olie Brice, Corey Mwamba, Hannah Marshall and Mark Sanders. He is a Take Five Edition IX artist, a professional development scheme for emerging creative jazz musicians run by Serious. Nick also plays regularly with UK folk legend Eliza Carthy in her Wayward Band.
