Drums, bass and saxophone unite to create a deadly groove on "Find Joy", the lead track from ‘Rising’, the forthcoming EP from multi-dimensional future-jazz outfit JK Group, on La Sape Records.

JK Group is the brainchild of award-winning saxophonist, Joshua Kelly (30/70 collective, PBS Young Elder of Jazz 2019). ‘Rising’ sees the band return to La Sape to follow up ‘What’s Real?’
 their universally applauded and long sold-out 2021 release.

Where ‘What’s Real?’ served as a platform for wild experimentation, ‘Rising’ returns to a more considered and familiar format for the band, offering up 4 cohesive tracks that are deep in conception and expression, at once original and fresh. Conceived after recording an as yet unreleased body of work written whilst undergoing chemotherapy, ‘Rising’ celebrates bandleader Josh’s survival and eventual recovery from the intense treatment he received for lymphoma in 2020.

The band stays true to their honed format of jazz traditions melding with influences from electronica and beyond. Like the first release, 'The Young Ones', 'Rising' sits comfortably in the crossover of raw, live jazz and electronic dance music, whilst also throwing an unexpected curveball to the listener expanding the palate of the bands sound to a pigment never before heard in their music. The EP takes you on an emotional journey throughout the four tracks, best listened to start-to-finish.

Exclusive Premiere: JK Group "Find Joy" (La Sape Records)

We are delighted to premiere a brand new song from one of our favourite jazz artists, Malcolm Strachan. "Soul Trip" is an irresistible mid-tempo soul jazz number, with a Latin groove. 

Scottish trumpeter and Haggis Horns founding member Malcolm Strachan releases his second solo album 'Point Of No Return' on January 27th, featuring a broad spectrum of styles, from modal jazz grooves to Brazilian samba beats, Latin rhythms to cinematic soundtrack vibes, and along the way, some beautiful ballads.

If the first album nodded slightly to mid-late 1960s classic Blue Note Records type jazz, this one is more reminiscent of the jazz fusion albums that Malcolm‘s jazz trumpet hero Freddie Hubbard recorded for the legendary CTI Records label in the early-mid 1970s. The same groove-based jazz where soul and funk beats are at the heart of the arrangement. Rock solid rhythms that allow complex horn parts and improvisation to float over the top with ease. The ensemble playing is strong and the leader’s trumpet solos show why he’s been one of the most in-demand session musicians in the UK for the last 20 years.

An earlier single from the album showed great promise too, as the heavy dancefloor ready "Cut to the Chase" was one of our favourite tracks towards the end of 2022.

Strachan has recorded and toured with the likes of Mark Ronson, Amy Winehouse, Corinne Bailey Rae, Jamiroquai, Martha Reeves and The Vandellas, Jess Glynne, The Craig Charles Fantasy Funk Band, Black Honey, The New Mastersounds, Abstract Orchestra and Blue Note Records jazz saxophone legend Lou Donaldson. Of course, he’s also a founder and existing band member of the UK funk kings The Haggis Horns.

Two brothers, surname Summers. London rap duo Summers Sons drop the second single from their forthcoming album project ‘Still Nothing Still’. Turt and Slim have updated their beloved jazz rap sound with a more electronic, trip-hoppy vibe.

In ‘Growing Pains’ Turt deals with the impermanence of life. A topic that has gotten a new urgency for him since having been diagnosed with epilepsy in 2021.“ One thing I've learnt in life is you never see it coming“ Turt explains. “Any day it can all change. The impossible to imagine is just round the corner. For better or worse. Sometimes it's painful but it's all growth. Still nothing still.” The single comes with a great visualizer by Seb Luke-Virgo.

Since 2018 Summers Sons have released four albums (‘Undertones’, ‘Uhuru’, ‘The Rain’, ‘Nostalgia’) and a string of high profile collabos with artists like C.Tappin, Twit One, The Silhouettes Project and Koralle. Not forgetting Slim's beat tape for KO-OP.

In 2023, Turt released the album ‘The Questions’ as one third of the project Syrup (the other two are Twit One & C.Tappin) while Slim released an album project (‘Cerulean’) with Benaddict and Ella Mae Suref. Turt also dropped two singles with the Silhouettes Project alongside Nix Northwest and Frankie Stew & Harvey Gunn.

Summers Sons - Growing Pains

Jazzy Grooves - Escuchame

This song moves through the quiet magic of finding someone who makes the world feel softer. It’s about that subtle shift when even the most ordinary days begin to shine, simply because another heart is close. The story follows a love that feels like shelter — gentle, steady, and calming — the kind that holds you together when life gets heavy. It celebrates the warmth of being truly seen, the peace that settles in your chest, and the glow that rises when someone becomes your piece of heaven.

Dieser Song erzählt von dem leisen Zauber, der entsteht, wenn ein Mensch ins Leben tritt, der alles weicher wirken lässt. Plötzlich strahlen selbst gewöhnliche Tage, nur weil eine andere Seele nah ist. Es geht um eine Liebe, die wie ein Zufluchtsort wirkt — sanft, ruhig und beständig — die einen auffängt, wenn alles zu viel wird. Eine Hymne an das Gefühl, wirklich gesehen zu werden, an die Ruhe, die sich im Herzen ausbreitet, und an das Leuchten, das entsteht, wenn jemand zu deinem Stück vom Himmel wird.

My Piece of Heaven

Since you, even Mondays shine
Everything’s new, nothing’s the same
Your hand on mine
And suddenly it all feels light

You’re my shelter
My sweet escape
When I break down
You hold my shape
From the first day
You’re my piece of heaven

Your presence is a window wide
Leaning into the open sky
And when you’re near
My fears grow still

You’re my shelter
My sweet escape
When I break down
You hold my shape
Always have been
My piece of heaven

I’ve been hiding in your shade
Still, you let me glow
You’re the quiet light
Behind my thoughts

You bring calm into my chaos
You hush the noise inside my head

You’re my shelter
My sweet escape
You feel like home
My piece of heaven

Oh yeah – yeah yeah

My piece of heaven


My Piece of Heaven

Billy Davis and his band the Good Lords are a musical juggernaut which features up to 11 members when playing live. Their style mirrors luminaries like Kaytranada and the Internet, with the band sharing the stage with the likes of Anderson Paak and Blackalicious, before appearing at this year's Golden Plains Festival to exceptional reviews. Just announced, they will be making the trip up to Brisbane soon after the album release to appear at this year's BIGSOUND Music Conference, which has unearthed stars like Flume, Courtney Barnett and RÜFÜS.

A sought-after session musician in his own right (also appearing as part of Kimbra's live band), Billy Davis has spent the last couple of years immersing himself into the fruitful local neo-soul & hip-hop scene. Quickly assembling the Billy Davis project, the group's first album Bad Ending was released independently last year to a burst of local fanfare. Now, the band are readying themselves to step into the spotlight with a second album quickly appearing on the horizon.
