About the event

The Jazz Defenders
The Jazz Defenders are back with their infectious energy, rich sound, and deep musical roots. The band channels the legacy of the golden era of Blue Note Records – not by imitation, but through a bold collection of original compositions that honour the tradition while blazing a fresh and contemporary trail. Expect irresistible grooves, razor-sharp horn lines, and a joyful sense of swing. Blending soul jazz with hip hop, funk, and cinematic influences, The Jazz Defenders create music that’s gritty, groovy, and full of swagger – equally at home on the dance floor as it is in a listening room.
They have ignited audiences at sold-out shows at Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club and other top venues across the UK and Europe, earning a reputation for electrifying live performances and world-class musicianship. Two of their albums have reached the top ten in the USA jazz charts, and they’ve been championed on air by Jamie Cullum, Lauren Laverne, Craig Charles, Jazz FM, and hundreds of other radio stations around the world.
Founder George Cooper brings a rich musical resume to the group, having worked with icons across genres including Hans Zimmer, Nigel Kennedy, Omar, U2, Slum Village, MF DOOM, Abstract Orchestra, Brother Strut, The Brand New Heavies and many more. The Lineup:
Jake McMurchie – tenor sax. Quentin Collins – trumpet. George Cooper – piano/keyboards. Will Harris – double/electric bass. Ian Matthews – drums (of Kasabian fame)
Together, The Jazz Defenders turn memory into motion.
