I'm a Drummer and Vibes/ Marimba player (and sometimes a piano player) from Cornwall. I've been living and making music in London for more than ten years now.
My band Gemini is part of London's new exciting scene of players/composers, the Loop Collective. Checkout the website loopcollective.org. The first Gemini album - 'Emergence' - is out on Loop Records www.loopcollective.org. A second album has been recorded and will be out later this year.
I have also recorded with a more straight ahead group - the Jim Hart quartet - and that album is available now from Woodville records. www.woodvillerecords.com
As well as these projects I'm also working in many other regular bands. These include Neon (with Legendary saxophonist Stan Sulzmann and Pianist Gwilym Simcock), The Ivo Neame quartet, The New Jazz Couriers (led by former Oscar Peterson drummer Martin Drew), John Dankworth and Cleo Laine, The Tom Richards Jazz Orchestra and killing blues band Sister Mary and the choirboys among others.

"At last a follow up to Janette Mason's sparkling debut as leader. Alien Left Hand ....was well worth the wait…” Production **** Performance**** -- BBC Music Magazine
“…an album fizzing with fresh ideas and delights, an exhilarating musical journey .. with brilliantly original writing and inspired playing…” -- Helen Mayhew
"Every track from the rhythmic ‘NY Cab Ride’ and restless ‘4 Wheel Drive’ to the brooding ‘Mae’s Song’ has a terrific hook but it’s the way Mason switches tempo and moods that makes ALH great fun. " -- Diva Magazine
