PYJÆN

PYJÆN reach inside the deep, multidimensional well of what is broadly called
Jazz and bring together all its diverse components in a singular, emotional sound.
They released their debut self-titled album in 2019 to wide critical and public
acclaim, garnering support from the likes of Gilles Peterson, Huey Morgan, Jazz
FM, and Clash Magazine.
The new chapter of their musical journey created room for featured artists once
again, an exercise they thoroughly enjoyed on their 'Sage Secrets' EP with Blue
Lab Beats and Odette Peters, which reached over 1M streams on Spotify within
only 6 months, testimony that the band has become a major force in the UK "Jazz
and beyond" scene.
In 2021 they released their second full album, ‘Feast’, their most daring release
yet, with thirteen tracks and five features ranging from singer Renato Paris on
‘By Your Side’, to Glasgow Jazz legend Corto. Alto on ‘Stay Home’. Feast was
recorded over five days at Peter Gabriel’s legendary studio ‘Real World Studios’.
The band is now in the process of releasing their third EP ‘Sunset Milk Tea’. This
collection of tunes were recorded during the ‘Feast’ recording sessions at Real
World Studios, but were not released until now. The band will be releasing a
single every month, starting with Halloween special ‘Spook’ on the 28th October,
and finishing with the release of the EP on 24th March 2023.
Adventurous songwriting, meticulous timing, incredibly tight horn arrangements
and an obvious joy to play together are PYJÆN's hallmarks.
PYJÆN consists of original members Ben Vize (saxophone/ewi), Dylan Jones
(trumpet), Benjamin Crane (bass), and Charlie Hutchinson (drums).
