About
Winners of the 2013 Emerging Excellence award from the Musicians Benevolent Fund, Moonlight Saving Time combine bold improvisation with atmospheric grooves and world rhythms to create a unique sound in contemporary jazz. With influences ranging from Chick Corea to Massive Attack, the band offers a strikingly fresh take on established jazz repertoire, as well as thoughtful and melodic original compositions.
Led by vocalist Emily Wright (“terrifically talented” – The Telegraph) and featuring acclaimed trumpeter Nick Malcolm, Moonlight Saving Time’s debut EP was featured by Jez Nelson on BBC Radio 3’s “Jazz on 3”. London based saxophonist Jason Yarde (Jazz Warriors, Manu Dibango, Hugh Masekela) featured on two tracks of the album and will be playing with the band this evening. Tonight sees the Bristol launch of the debut album "Meeting at Night"...
