A
gig
held at The Jam Jar
on Friday 21st April. The event starts at 19:00.
We are very excited to be bringing the brilliant sounds of Mammal Hands to the Jam Jar this April. Since their 2016 Bristol debut at The Jam Jar they've released two albums on Gondwana records, and played in venues around the world. We are humbled to be welcoming them back to this intimate space.
Consisting of saxophonist Jordan Smart, pianist Nick Smart and drummer and tabla player Jesse Barrett, Mammal Hands have forged a growing reputation for their hypnotic fusion of jazz and electronica and their pulsating live performances. Drawing on a shared love of electronic, contemporary classical, world, folk and jazz music, Mammal Hands take in influences including Pharoah Sanders, Gétachèw Mekurya, Terry Riley, Steve Reich and Sirishkumar Manji to create something exhilaratingly new.
Support from Daniel Inzani Piano Trio
We will be hosting a free afterparty for this event, meaning this show starts early with the support starting at 19.30. Please get down to ensure you catch the brilliant line up we have in store for you.
