After a sensational show last year, British saxophonist Jasmine Myra returns in October with a new album.
Jasmine Myra is a saxophonist, composer and bandleader from Leeds, now based in London. Her original instrumental music has a euphoric and uplifting sound, influenced by artists as diverse as Bonobo, Olafur Arnalds and Kenny Wheeler, whose music shares an emotive quality that can also be heard in Jasmine's own compositions. In early 2022, she signed to Gondwana Records and worked with label owner and producer Matthew Halsall (whose keen ear for talent has helped bring the music of GoGo Penguin, Mammal Hands and Hania Rani to the wider world) to deliver her critically acclaimed debut album 'Horizons' in summer 2022.
Following the release of 'Horizons', Jasmine's musical career and profile skyrocketed over the next year and a half. Brilliant reviews worldwide, massive radio airplay and top streaming playlists led to major tours and festival appearances across the UK and mainland Europe.
Elevating, uplifting and beautifully arranged: Jasmine Myra's second album 'Rising' builds on the success of her groundbreaking debut to deliver a major statement from one of the UK's rising jazz stars. Produced by Matthew Halsall and mixed by Greg Freeman, 'Rising' is a confident and vibrant follow-up that connects the musical dots between Myra's influences Kenny Wheeler, Bonobo and Shabaka Hutchings to create something unique, beautiful and profound.
‘Rising’ features the same core of musicians as ‘Horizons’, with guitarist Ben Haskins, drummer George Hall pianist Jasper Green, harpist Alice Roberts and bassist Sam Quintana who collectively bring a deft understating of the subtle textures of Myra’s music and perform with a collective empathy and drive that really pushes the music on a radiant journey.
