Bio

1224 Project performs electrifying, groove-fuelled contemporary jazz.

If you like artists like Medeski, Martin and Wood, John Scofield, Pat Metheny, Chris Potter, Bill Frisell or Wayne Krantz then we hope you’ll enjoy our take on music that grooves, with enough surprises to keep it interesting for everyone.

Oh, and just in case you’re wondering it’s pronounced “twelve twenty-four”, and the Project is named after a front door in New Orleans (see slideshow).

Educated at Berklee College of Music, the Guitar Institute and Oxford University, Dylan Kay has studied with some of the world's finest jazz educators, including Mick Goodrick, Hal Crook, David Tronzo, Tim Miller and Richie Hart. He has performed extensively in Boston, USA and throughout the UK, leading his own contemporary jazz bands and performing with others, including working as musical director for US jazz singer Ellen O'Brien. Dylan also teaches guitar at the Institute of Contemporary Music Performance in London.

Leslee Booth studied at GIT in Los Angeles in 1981, and went on to tour and record with Gloria Gaynor, Billy Eckstine and Freda Payne. He is now a busy freelance bass player on the London circuit - he currently plays with Helen McDonald's London Bridge Ensemble, classical guitarist and composer John Zarridan, Branco Stoysin and the Vladimir Miller Quartet.

Born in northern France, David Bouet moved to Paris in the mid-nineties to start a career as a freelance drummer and then to London to study at the London College of Music. After graduating, regular session and live work led him to tour all over the UK with bands including Lavida Santana, Europe’s leading Santana tribute band. He also enjoys a busy schedule playing in first-class function bands, as well as performing in many festivals across the UK.
