JACKSON MATHOD @jacksonmathod
Jackson Mathod is a multi-instrumentalist and singer. Drawing on influences from the likes of Miles Davis, Roy Hargrove and Christian Scott to name a few.

JOE HERBERT [EMERGENCE] @joeherbertmusic
Joe Herbert is a London-based contemporary jazz guitarist and composer, blending playful creativity with a deep love for the jazz tradition. His trio’s upcoming debut album, Deeply, explores the unique possibilities of the guitar trio format, featuring lively interplay and a cohesive sound. Joe’s influences are wide ranging, regularly playing in funk, soul, and blues bands, and having played classical guitar as a teenager. His playing and compositions reflect this, with directness and simplicity meeting expressiveness and emotion. Joe has studied the playing and approach of the likes of Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, Grant Green, Wayne Shorter, and Wes Montgomery, and these influences have shaped his sound. After growing up in Bedford and studying music at the University of Southampton, Joe moved to London in 2022 and has since established himself as one of the city’s leading up-and-coming jazz guitarists. He has performed his original music with his own groups around the city, including in sold out shows in the London Jazz Festival in 2023 and 2024, and as a sideman he has performed at Ronnie Scott’s, the Barbican, and in jazz clubs across Europe.
