Financial Times **** "pushing at the boundaries of jazz... delivering walking lines, heavy riffs and rattles and taps, are thoroughly contemporary.... much more than a warm up act" Steve Williamson UK Tour

Zoe Rahman, MOBO awardee jazz pianist ***** “J.A.M. String Collective [give] us a really strong and unique performance with a wide variety of textures and grooves as well as a meaningful narrative in their improvisations. It was very moving to hear them play.”
