Page Eight Opening Titles

Our appreciation for 22a and their extended family has steadily spiralled over the last year or so. We've already featured various members of the clan in their own rights:  Jeen Bassa and Al Dobson Jr weaving wax as far back as 2012,  Mo Kolours multiple times and  Henry Wu serving  "Just Negotiate" on a plate for Debuts. It's about time all of those names came together on one setlist, mind - a wish we're churning into reality with  this Friday's 22a label showcase in London.

22a #6 sees Tenderlonious lift the label into album territory for the first time. Led by the label chief on sax, flute and percussion, Ruby Rushton is the result of four friends uniting to ooze out off-the-cuff jazz. Their debut album “Two For Joy” was recorded in 2011, a deeply personal set of compositions fuelled by an admiration for Coltrane, Yusef Lateef and Fela Kuti through to more contemporary demi-gods like Slum Village and  Sa-Ra. The title track - which you can stream uptop - is luxuriously smooth, handmade for Sunday mid-morning couch sessions with the spring sun reaching inwards. 

As with all 22a releases, catch it on vinyl (180g) when it lands on June 29th.

Ruby Rushton "Two For Joy" - Boiler Room Debuts

Recorded some acoustic I was playing around with, mixing a few ideas and then improvising over that recording during my first listen through of it, meaning it was quite hard for me to remember what chords were coming up - few mistakes but hope you enjoy.

In this episode, James and George reflect on Season 6 of The Walking Dead and address the question everyone's been talking about.

Cee-Roo left on a quest for unused tones...

Standing on a small boat, and armed with his trusty tape recorder, he travelled down a mysterious river. On this path, he collected sounds and encounters, which gave birth to 12 tracks retracing his journey.

Experiment #4 : Put A Step In Your Skip

”Our standout is the premiere single, Don’t Cover Up My Eyes. The track immediately begins with a bass groove that is so seedy and undeniable. As the song continues with Rhodes’ vocals and the jagged guitars, we’re completely enamored.” – The Girls At The Rock Show

"Don't Cover Up My Eyes" is the first track from our Debut EP 'Elephant Skeleton' , recorded at Miloco Studios in London with the awesome Grammy award winning producer Matt Lawrence. It's a sinister song...but it'll still make you wanna dance! x

Baker's Dozen

English composer, multi-instrumentalist, and tutor Jake Bradford-Sharp is a technically proficient artist working in many musical fields: writing and recording music for TV and film, session work, regular gigging, and tutoring drums and music. Born in Enfield, London in 1992, Jake first began playing the drums at the age of 8 and began formal lessons at the age of 10.

Initially inspired by classic rock icons such as John Bonham, Ian Paice and Keith moon, Jake quickly discovered his love of progressive rock music and its blend of rock, jazz, fusion, and many others. He immersed himself in these very sophisticated drumming styles, and at the age of 16 joined his first professional band, The Reasoning, and honed his craft on the touring and recording circuit. In 2010 he was crowned the “5th Best Drummer of 2010” by readers of Prog magazine. Jake continues to work with bands, of which more information can be found here.

In the downtime between touring, Jake fell in love with composing for TV, films, and games. His ability to jump between styles and genres effortlessly, yet still bring a unique and recognizable sound to every project is creatively showcased in his latest works. This led Jake to work with independent filmmakers and compose for library music companies.

Over the years Jake has experimented with multiple genres and styles of music, finding steady success with his own unique take on the Electro Swing genre. Jake continued to expand his compositional skills and since first being introduced to the worlds of writing to picture and production music, continues to successfully release unique albums. As he continues his journey into composition for TV, film, library and game music, you can keep up to date with his releases by following Jake’s official Spotify artist page.

Outside of composing music and performing drums, teaching is a passion of Jakes. He is a tutor at Bang Drum School in London. Jake has also released drum videos on YouTube showcasing yet another side of his writing, and performance and technical ability on the drum kit.

Being an active session musician, Jake has been hired to work with many artists at some of the worlds’ most prestigious recording studios in his hometown of London. He is available for session work and can be contacted directly at info@jakebradford-sharp.com.
