Straight Down was inspired by Phil’s admiration of the Blue Note recordings of the 1950’s in which a band would meet in the recording studio, call some tunes and perform in a live situation. So for their debut album, after choosing the tunes from their recent live repertoire (over a cup of strong coffee), the band went straight into recording with no overdubs, all the tracks captured in one take, and nothing overly produced. Phil says, "I believe this gives the album an honesty and empathy in the playing, more of a conversational feel between the musicians. We were keen to record everything in one take just like a live gig. I feel it gives the album a real sense of energy. Matt (Lawton) and I had talked about recording in this way for a while, which is different to the usual studio sessions we do with other ensembles. We were keen to capture the moment with all its thrills in real time." CDs will be on sale during the evening and can be signed by Phil and the band.

Going back fifteen years, the programme has brought through the likes of Seb Rochford (of Polar Bear), Shabaka Hutchings (Sons of Kemet, The Comet is Coming), Yazz Ahmed, and Nubya Garcia – serving as a pivotal moment in their careers that led to wider recognition, touring, record deals, and more. This year’s eight participants are an eclectic group, demonstrating the vibrancy and variety of the UK’s burgeoning jazz scene and offering a taste of what is to come from the genre in the coming years. They are: • Jasdeep Singh Degun (sitar, voice) • Jelly Cleaver (guitar, voice, producer) • Jemma Freese (keyboards, piano, voice) • John Pope (double bass, bass guitar) • Noemi Nuti (voice, Paraguayan harp, flute, and more) • Rosie Turton (trombone) • Sam Eagles (saxophone) • Sarathy Korwar (drums, tabla, percussion) The scheme centres around a week-long residency that brings the artists together with music industry experts, giving them a chance to learn about the complexities of the business in an intimate setting, and offering them the chance to take some time out from their usual busy touring/recording schedules and step back and think about how to advance their music and careers.
