GET THE BLESSING: ALL IS YES, 2008Bristol quartet Get the Blessing released their debut album, All Is Yes, back in February, but they're hot news again having recently won the BBC Jazz Album Of The Year award.
And if the j-word is an instant turn-off, then hold your horses: this is punk-jazz or post-jazz, to be filed next to Acoustic Ladyland and Fraud.
The rhythm section used to play in Portishead (whose Adrian Utley even shows up on the record), and members have also played with everyone from Roni Size to Super Furry Animals; besides, they're signed to Cake, also home to that famously energetic pianist and jazz ghetto escapee, Neil Cowley.
There's a UK tour later in the year for all who missed them at Glastonbury and The Big Chill.
This is the debut album by Bristol based post-jazz rockers, The Blessing. formed by drummer Clive Deamer and bassist Jim Barr of '9-s trip-hop superstars, Portishead, the Blessing are storming onto the scene, taking riffs and rhythms from rock and dance music and artfully welding them onto fearsomely inventive improvisation. With trumpeter Pete Judge and saxophonist completing the line up, The Blessing's catchy, rocking tunes and snappy arrangements create a genre-bending blend of sounds that is all their own.
