Since we started our campaign GCAP, who operate Classic FM and Capital Radio, have launched a national jazz station. See www.thejazz.com for more info.
We are keen to work with GCAP to make this jazz station a success. Let us know what you think of the new station.
We will also investigate establishing an internet radio station dedicated the music of UK jazz artists. Please contact us if you'd like to help.
Jazz Radio UK is supported by The British Academy of Composers and Songwriters, Jazz Services, JazzDev and the All-Party Parliamentary Jazz Appreciation Group.
Please come and help me celebrate the birth of my 3rd album!
It will be the more relaxed (and cheaper) version of my official launch party in May at the rather more posh Pizza Express Jazz Club in Soho.
But even if you're posh, you are still most welcome! :-)

Reviews;
” the kind of subtle magical power happening at the Blue Café won’t be held across the Pond for long.The similarly charming and talented Corinne Bailey Rae became a Grammy nominated sensation and a major presence on the U.S. pop and jazz charts, and there’s no reason why Reising couldn’t follow suit with enough Stateside interest and promotion.

It's a Kind of Magic presents...their last ever night @ The Vortex:
Naima Collective www.myspace.com/naimatheband
Meeting in Manchester but now residing around London's music colleges, the Naima Collective are one of the latest groups to hit the scene. With influences that include Jamiroquai, Dwele, D'Angelo and Take 6, Naima, although new to the circuit, will be sure to impress.
Matti Roots www.myspace.com/mattiroots
A producer, singer and songwiter extraordinaire, Matti Roots has been producing since 1999, working with some of the UK's biggest names. Recalling a sound similar to The Roots and Slum Village, the album 'See you Again' has been critically acclaimed by the likes of Touch, Blues & Soul, Kiss FM and 1Xtra.
Operating as a live unit with some of the UK's most promising young musicians, the Matti Roots live band have already headlined across London at the Jazz Café, and been hailed by Straight No Chaser as 'Catch-a-fire spellbinding.'
The Mr. Ears Project www.myspace.com/themrearsproject
Cai Marle-Garcia's The Mr. Ears Project is the new force in modern jazz music. Combining fresh talent with a retro sound, this irresistable group is primed for its assault on the ears of London and beyond. They are a colourful rebirth of retro jazz-fusion.

XAN BLACQ www.myspace.com/xanblacq
Vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter/producer Xantoné Blacq's music is a sonic adventure fusing jazz, funk and soul with music from around the world.
Currently lighting up the keys for a certain Miss Winehouse, his influences call on Quincy, Herbie, Donny and Stevie, and with a backing band full of many of London’s finest, this is guaranteed to be one hell of a lively affair.
EXPRESSED www.myspace.com/expressedmusic
Recently formed, Expressed is made up of some the finest young musicians in town. With a distinct neo-soul, gospel vibe, their influences range from Herbie Hancock and George Benson through to Dwele, D’Angelo and Raphael Saadiq. Already causing a stir on the scene – definitely a band to look out for.
