“The anatomy of the groove is still very much intact with J-Sonics. Their brand of rocket fuelled groove jazz has the after burners full on. It's clear to see these guys have a great empathy and enjoy their craft, breaking sweat with broad smiles. It's great to see. Respect to the groove merchants, here to take back jazz from the shoe gazers.” – Chris Philips Jazz FM

"These guys are truly on a mission to bring raw, razor-edged funk to British audiences." - Young & Serious

J-Sonics

Fresh from their barnstorming performance at the Love Supreme Festival in July, London’s hottest groove-jazz band J-Sonics return to the Hideaway for two nights performing their favourite Latin-Funk, Brazilian and Jazz classics with special guest singers Noemi Nuti (Friday 29 August) and Grace Rodson (Saturday 30 August). Performing their super-charged originals alongside classics by Tania Maria, Flora Purim and Ed Motta this will be the perfect mix of funky grooves and timeless melodies, all with a distinctly Latin flavour.





Led by bassist and composer Mike Flynn J-Sonics features some of London's finest musicians - all solo artists in their own right - but all collaborating within J-Sonics' dynamite mix of burning originals and re-tooled Latin, Brazilian and funk classics. The line-up features a powerful twin-horn attack of saxophonist Matt Telfer and trumpeter Andy Davies, alongside the explosive rhythm section of guitarist/composer Clement Regert, drummer Gabor Dornyei and powerful percussionist Jon Newey. Wowing audiences with their full-throttle grooves, searing solos and infectious interaction, J-Sonics rip it up on hip hop, funk, swing and Latin-jazz grooves, while the trumpet, sax and guitar frontline are pushed to exciting musical highs. This is a band that thrives on heat of the moment improvisation, killer tunes and boundless energy.
