Matters Unknown
This is the debut project from the multi-instrumentalist and composer Jonny Enser. A solo project emerging from his work as a key contributor to the UK afro-jazz pioneers Nubiyan Twist, Jonny has gathered some of the most talented forces contributing to the London Scene drawing from projects such as Nerija, Noya Rao, Allysha Joy's and Emma-Jean Thackray's bands to create a kaleidoscopic project of united musical visions. He is deeply influenced by diverse traditions with undercurrents carrying grooves from the roots of the Blues to West Coast beats, creating a sound that “is at once known and not known” drawing from a long musical legacy steeped in spirituality, while combining the group’s interpretations to create something new. The project comes with an Artistic Manifesto that naturally occurred as the project formed :“Project and propel tradition, there lies the intersection between experience and heritage. Free the mind to find divine inspiration, life lies in all things”
