bassAbout
With their two tenor frontline and Leafcutter John's innovative use of everything from a laptop to a balloon, Polar Bear have established themselves at the forefront of the UK scene. Their appeal goes beyond the usual jazz audience, reaching out to anyone with an interest in new music.
"This is not nu jazz, acid jazz, Jamie jazz, Parky jazz, Brit jazz, beardo jazz,post-jazz or twee jazz. It's dream jazz." Paul Morley, Observer Music Monthly
"The group that flung wide the jazz club windows and let fresh air into a scene mired in cliche and rear-view mirror gazing ....Rochford's drums are characterful as ever,with that sexy groove supplied as standard" The Wire
