 Jazzelation
A vibrant fusion of gospel-tinged soul and contemporary jazz.
The debut album, Spring is Such a Beautiful Thing, combines the spirit of soul with the freedom of jazz improvisation. The album’s melodic compositions have a timeless quality: familiar elements of modern jazz, blues and r&b come together to create a distinctive, contemporary sound. Acclaimed singer Alison Bentley has a richly soulful voice and the band’s musicianship is of the highest order.
