Sleight of Hand met at Leeds College of Music in 2005. Boasting a large and expanding repertoire of original material, Sleight of Hand is making its mark on the contemporary jazz scene.
"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

Re: Word of the Week
WORD OF THE WEEK (4/4-4/15) IS: "GROOVE"
1. An adjective describing a rhythmic quality of music that is emotionally communicative and soulful; used for music moving at a steady beat. "I am feelin' this groove!"
2. A verb meaning to smoothly interact, maintain or improve relations with a person, or a situation.
*Not to be confused with "Groovy" which was a previous word of the week - two totally different words.
Have a great week! Happy Easter - Jake Glasgow (Mister G)
