George Cooper – Piano/Keyboards Will Harris – Bass Ian Matthews – Drums Nick Malcolm – Trumpet Jake McMurchie – Tenor Sax Led by one of the UK’s most formidable jazz pianists, George Cooper, and featuring Kasabian’s Ian Matthews on drums, The Jazz Defenders are a group born from a deep love of Blue Note jazz. They continue to ‘defend’ the legacy of some of the classic hard bop greats such as Horace Silver, Lee Morgan and Art Blakey, whilst fusing soul, jazz, hip hop, soundtrack and groove into a masterful union that leaves audiences mesmerised. The result is an enthrallingly unique sound that is as danceable as it is listenable.
