Worldservice Project
With a subtle nod towards the BBC, the Worldservice Project are an experimental jazz fusion quintet from the south of England. Music graduates from the University of York and Leeds College of Music, the group aren't short of a few jazz credentials.
While some jazz ensembles are almost inaccessible with wild time signatures and bizarre key changes, the Project’s jazz theory is underpinned by gritty funk elements that produce a distinctive musical flow.
With soulful trombone and saxophone playing accompanied by a blend of keyboard, bass and drums that hold down a juicy progression, these guys effortlessly achieve an interesting and original sound. Look out for these guys in the near future.

Individual talent is evanescent throughout this band.
The drummer doesn't appear to be paying attention but he’s laying down a cymbal-heavy beat that complements funk-orientated bass lines masterfully. The trombonist and sax player are battling at the front of the stage with great rhythmic hooks and intertwining lead work that creates a sumptuous aura about the group. And the pianist jumps from subtle chord changes to heavy stabs and full-on solos that at times sound as if he's whacking the piano keys with a big hammer.
Exciting and fresh jazz talent. I am hoping to see The Worldservice Project all over London in the near future.
