Nubya Garcia, Greentea Peng, Wu-Lu and more to feature on forthcoming album from Ezra Collective's Joe Armon-Jones
Composer, keyboardist and producer Joe Armon-Jones has announced the release of his first solo album in six years, All The Quiet, alongside new single, "Kingfisher" featuring Asheber.
Entirely written, produced, and mixed by Joe Armon-Jones, these two distinct but conceptually linked albums find the London-based keyboardist, producer, songwriter and bandleader expanding his sound into new musical and sonic realms, assisted by a wealth of special guests including Asheber, Greentea Peng, Wu Lu, Hak Baker and Yazmin Lacey.
Six years have passed since Armon-Jones’ last solo album, 2019’s Turn To Clear View, but in this time he’s toured the world, built a studio, contributed to albums from the great and good of UK jazz and recorded collaborative releases with Maxwell Owin, Hak Baker, and dubstep legend Mala.
The performances that comprise All The Quiet came together in four days of intensive recording at Livingstone Studios and Press Play, Armon-Jones working with a crack team of musicians including drummer Natcyet Wakili, bassist Mutale Chashi, percussionist Kwake Bass and a horn section consisting of Nubya Garcia and Ezra Collective’s James Mollison and Ife Ogunjobi. With those sessions captured to tape, he then entered a deep period of editing and production, adding his own vocals and synth
