…a vibrant fusion of gospel-tinged soul and contemporary jazz…

The debut album, Spring is Such a Beautiful Thing, combines the spirit of soul with the freedom of jazz improvisation. The album’s melodic compositions have a timeless quality: familiar elements of modern jazz, blues and r&b come together to create a distinctive, contemporary sound. Acclaimed singer Alison Bentley has a richly soulful voice and the band’s musicianship is of the highest order.

Jazzelation is unique project that takes European church music (16th- 19th century) as a basis for jazz compositions. The album’s title track, for example, has a melody based on a piece from Piae Cantiones (1582) as used in the hymn ‘God is love’. It’s been reworked into a jazz ballad with new, secular lyrics, but there’s still an echo of the original hymn.
