Keyboardist, producer and songwriter Joe Armon-Jones shares his most elevated solo project to date, 'All The Quiet'. A galvanising statement of intent, traversing jazz, funk, dub, hip hop, and soul music, entirely written, produced, and mixed by Armon-Jones himself. As a band member, he is best known as part of the Mercury prize winning Ezra Collective, who capped 2024 by being the first jazz band to headline London’s Wembley Arena. 'All The Quiet (Part I)' is the first chapter of a two part album, released on his own label, Aquarii Records. Guest musicians & features include Nubya Garcia, Oscar Jerome, Goya Gumbani, and more.
Six years have passed since Armon-Jones’ last solo album, 2019’s 'Turn To Clear View' was released on Gilles Peterson’s Brownswood Recordings, but don’t mistake that gap for a break. In this time he’s toured the world, built a studio, contributed to albums from the great and good of UK jazz, and recorded collaborative releases with Liam Bailey, Fatima, Hak Baker, Prince Fatty, Ranking Joe, Maxwell Owin, and dubstep legend Mala.
STAFF COMMENTS
Barry says: Intricate, finely honed jazz-funk business from Joe Armon-Jones with the bristling 'All The Quiet (Part 1)' sacrificing none of the urgency or experimental aura from his earlier work while introducing a number of elements to take these pieces into smooth, soulful jazz territory.
