'All In' as a whole, is inspired by nature, endurance and reflection.

‘Studio Natives, Vol.1’ is filled with improvisation, the most natural form of Jazz. Jackson Mathod is a trumpet player with intangible skill for the instrument, having played alongside Stormzy for his Glastonbury set he’s making waves with his third album. Speaking on the track ‘Mandible’ Mathod expands on his development into creating the album, ‘I think in some of my previous recorded music I was more focused on creating well-crafted music with great melodies and harmony. Whereas here there's a bit more focus on playing as a group and being more explorative in improvisation. We also didn't have a melody for this track until a week before the recording! Sometimes it just takes a while to find that melody or it might just pop into your head one day.’

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Modern trumpet player, Guildhall jazz alumni and session musician for Stormzy and Jordan Rakaei, Jackson Mathod drops his third album. A bright, fragrant and free jazz affair that's sure to give Halsall a run for his money. Lovely stuff.

Greg Foat is a London-based keyboardist, composer, bandleader and DJ. He claims his life-long love/hate relationship with the piano began at age 3, when he fell off a piano stool at his aunt's house. He started composing around age 11, and at 15 attended a jazz workshop with Jeff Clyne, Olaf Vas, Trevor Tomkins and Nick Weldon, igniting his obsession with jazz music. He furthered to study jazz at Middlesex University, and then studied for 6 months in Sweden on an Erasmus grant. He played his first professional studio session there at 21, and has been working as a professional musician ever since.

Snake Plant Shuffle and Spider Plant Blues are inspired by the the plants on Gregs bedside tables - which periodically move around the house dependent on his mood. The plants provide a good source of oxygen in the room and create a calm soothing atmosphere for Gregs musical projects. Together the tracks feature live drum kits by Ayo Salawu, Fender Rhodes and a plethora of Vintage Synthesisers.

Snake Plant Shuffle has had radio plays in Gemany, Poland and Canada, as well as being heavily featured in Amazon Music's Jazz playlists, including 'Fresh Jazz', 'Coffee Shop Jazz' and 'Café Jazz'. Both tracks are featured in Apple Music' 'Jazz Scene: UK' and 'New Latitudes' playlists.
