Emboldened is a unique collection of Steve Banks' original compositions, taking in powerful modern jazz, deep contemporary grooves, Brazilian influences, lush harmonies and memorable melodies. This heady concoction of styles evolved and developed through years of diverse musical experience, resulting in a compelling, distinctive and personal sound, immediately recognisable as the rising star guitarist's own work.\u003c\/p\u003e  On Emboldened, Banks brings together a quintet of musicians at the forefront of UK jazz scene: Sam Crockatt on saxophone, Rebecca Nash on keyboard, Henrik Jensen on bass and Mark Whitlam on drums. The synergy between each player is palpable on the recording and provides a clear demonstration of the professionalism and vibrancy of each player, both individually and as a unit. Speaking about the band, Steve Banks remarks: \"I'm excited by the scope and depth of expression this quintet is capable of reaching and am composing new music to explore this further. I want to 'stoke the fire'\".  Banks explains that he wrote the Emboldened suite \"to reflect individuals and society's response to adversity?.This also reflected values inherent to jazz music including respect, trust, listening and support and, as a jazz musician, I wanted to offer a positive and reassuring experience for the peaceful majority. The suite comprises three movements: Fear, Belief \u0026amp; Unity and is also inspired by the incredible music of Maria Schneider.  Banks' captivating style and versatility have made him a 'go to' guitarist for many successful music projects, most notably playing electric, acoustic, baritone and nylon string guitars on Sara Colman's album 'What We're Made Of', co-composing several tracks and contributing his own composition 'Open'. The album appeared in Jazzwise Magazine's 'Top 10 albums of 2018' and 'Best of Jazz on Bandcamp' lists.. Further projects include being a vital element of the Greg Cordez Band and a 2021 UK tour with 'What She Said', celebrating pioneering women in music. Having lent his elite skill to a range of artistic endeavours, Steve Banks will now release his debut album Emboldened, representing his very best work to date and an anticipated elevation to the limelight.","brand":"Stoney Lane Records","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50389844787531,"sku":"2022945","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_1f559665_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726375019"},{"product_id":"soultime-again","title":"Soultime Again","description":"\u003cp\u003ePaul Dunmall, the celebrated saxophonist and improvisor, releases his latest recording of original music this December, Soultime Again, featuring his compelling quintet alongside the powerful dynamic of the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire Big Band.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stoney Lane Records","offers":[{"title":"CD.","offer_id":50398367908171,"sku":"2171683","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_16c3ae44_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726495323"},{"product_id":"journey-to-where","title":"Journey to Where","description":"\u003cp\u003eAcclaimed saxophonist Trish Clowes and pianist Ross Stanley are to release a compelling new album of their adventurous original writing, free improvisations and personal favourites, recorded at London's Wigmore Hall\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stoney Lane Records","offers":[{"title":"CD.","offer_id":50400679395659,"sku":"2182659","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_1d8e1456_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726514853"},{"product_id":"k-no-w-them-k-no-w-us","title":"K(no)w Them, K(no)w Us","description":"\u003cp\u003eXhosa Cole, the acclaimed 24-year-old saxophonist who won the BBC Young Jazz Musician of the Year in 2018, releases his much-anticipated debut, celebrating the rich tapestry of music and heritage of great African-American composers and improvisers - formative influences on his life and music - through a contemporary black British lens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe album, \u003ci\u003eK(no)w Them, K(no)w Us\u003c\/i\u003e features special guest appearances from fellow Birmingham-raised musicians - MOBO-winning saxophonist Soweto Kinch and rising star pianist Reuben James - and takes its inspiration from words by the great Dizzy Gillespie about Louis Armstrong: \"no him, no me\".
