News Roundup

Jamie recently spent a week in New York recording the big band parts for his album, followed by more recording in Los Angeles to record some string parts. Everything is sounding great and he can't wait for all of you to hear it! While in the US, he has even squeezed in some time to learn how to ride a horse! No photos yet though.

On 20th June Jamie flew from LA to Barcelona for his BCJC slot (his side project with brother Ben) at Sonar festival and performed to a 4000-strong crowd. The set also featured Darren Emerson from Underworld.

Jamie's latest gadget is his Tenori-on which is made by Yamaha. Wondering what it is?! Check it out here...

Their albums regularly entered the jazz and the pop charts, achieving numerous awards, and Esbjörn's untimely death is a huge loss to the music world. [more...]
