British jazz is proving strong as we head into 2025 with a vast array of great releases such as 'Gaudi' from Glebe - an exciting ensemble with guitarist Kieran Gunter and pianist Chris Bland at its heart.
If the horrible winter weather is getting you down, I recommend buying and listening to Gaudà from Glebe.

Musicians and composers Kieran Gunter (guitar) and Chris Band (piano) have brought together some of the stars of the UK jazz scene right now. Tara Minton (voice, harp, lyrics), Clare Wheeler (voice) and Francesca Confortini (voice) and Tom Smith (flute, sax) together add many layers to the pair's compositions.
One of the delights of this album is the combination of careful composition and arrangement with improvisation (including gorgeous vocals on Ruby). A teasing complexity in the piano and drum combo to start Gaudi's Blues with rhythmic and tempo changes just ... groove and keep you on your metaphorical listening toes.
Gunter and Bland with their fellow musicians on Gaudi will brighten these short, cold days at the end of UK winter.
