A polished nu jazz artist from the local scene.
Jamie Leeming continues to shine as one of London’s most beloved jazz guitarists, a key collaborator to artists like Alfa Mist, Tom Misch and Jas Kayser, whose second solo album "Sequent" further impresses his talents as a musician and songwriter. Gaining notoriety through his work on Alfa Mist’s string of cult-classic albums, he then stepped out solo; first in collaboration with pianist Maria Chiara Argirò on "Flow", then in 2022 with his debut album proper in "Resynthesis". "Sequent" is his long-awaited follow up. Across twelve tracks, Jamie explores the nature of change. Themes, passages and motifs make distinct reappearances across its duration, helping to build a sense of familiarity with the material and defined sense of completion at its close. The album makes a noted departure from its predecessor on several fronts. There’s a grander sense of scope as you listen, an ambition Jamie brings in his will to push the boundaries of his own musicianship and capabilities as a producer. Vintage recording techniques, inspired by albums from Milton Nascimento and Egberto Gismonti, fuse with modern composition practices giving the album a noted edge. Produced in conjunction with Alfa Mist, it features contributions from Laura Misch, Sly5thAve and Kaya Thomas-Dyke (who also painted the album’s beautiful cover art), and marks the musician as an important voice amongst his contemporaries.
