Jackson Mathod
On Sunday 28 May, we are supporting British artist Jackson Mathod – trumpeter, multi-instrumentalist and singer – who will take us on a journey of euphoric jazz fusion that’s guaranteed to uplift your spirits.
Having gained a wealth of experience in different styles as a session musician over the last 15 years, Mathod has a performative ease that embraces blues feeling and swing rhythmic fretting in a way that makes his music addictive – as evidenced by his first album Travels in a Confined Space and the successful singles that followed, finding their way onto the BBC, Worldwide FM and Jazz FM playlists.
