Jason Swinscoe's incredible jazz collaboration side-project has become a world-beating phenomenon and inspired countless imitators. And when the Pet Shop Boys are copying you, you know you're onto something.
Bringing together musicians from the hugely rated jazz/blues/triphop/hiphop label to improvise soundtracks for silent movies, the Cinematic Orchestra set out to create truly international soundtracks that could provide a narrative for a movie, regardless you language.
Not only are their works coherent, easy to follow and exciting as any silent movie. The music is also incredible. As improvisers playing to festival-sized crowds, these guys surpass even
The Bays.
