An underground nu jazz artist.
As we move beyond the quarter century, the London scene continues to provide a home for some of the most adventurous genre-blending sounds to be heard anywhere. Pianist/composer Finn Carter is at once right at the center of the capital’s jazz community, regularly appearing at venues like Ronnie Scott’s and The Vortex, and yet simultaneously inhabiting a space of his very own, on his own journey that encompasses working with such musically sympathetic stars of the pop world as Loyle Carner, Olivia Dean and Rex Orange County while honing his own uncompromising musical vision. On his new release Finding Home he’s joined by three musicians with a similarly eclectically unfettered approach to music making, that embraces high-level complexity while maintaining a direct connection to the listener. FindingHome is a powerfully characterful statement from a standout artist who’s crafted his own voice, surrounded by a like-minded family of players. Finn’s music contains echoes of his inspirations - he names Alice Coltrane, Jason Moran and Ambrose Akinmusire as favourites, but transcends influence to make its own utterly individual statement. At the helm of this group of similarly uncategorisable musicians, Finn Carter has delivered his most accomplished statement yet with Finding Home.
