PYJÆN

PYJÆN reach inside the deep, multidimensional well of what is broadly called Jazz and bring together all its diverse components in a singular, emotional sound. Formed in 2016, the band comprises of Dylan Jones (trumpet), Ben Vize (sax), Benjamin Crane (bass), Tjoe Man Cheung (guitar) and Charlie Hutchinson (drums). They released their debut self-titled album to wide critical and public acclaim, garnering support from the likes of Gilles Peterson, Huey Morgan, Jazz FM, and Clash Magazine to name a few. Their follow-up EP 'Sage Secrets' saw them collaborate with beatsy outfit Blue Lab Beats and soulful singer Odette Peters. The EP reached over 1M streams on Spotify within only 6 months, testimony that the band has become a major force in the UK "Jazz and beyond" scene. Adventurous songwriting, meticulous timing, incredibly tight horn arrangements and an obvious joy to play together are the PYJÆN trademarks. Live, as seen at Love Supreme, Ronnie Scott's, Jazz Cafe or Brainchild Festival, the atmosphere is sizzling and the sense of enjoyment communicated from the stage is infectious.
