5ive

A 6 track crossover jazz album (28m 24s) — released January 13th 2023 on Jazz re:freshed

London-based electronic jazz outfit Zeñel become the latest band to release a jazz re:freshed 5IVE; the 5 track album series that has been a launching point for the likes of Ashley Henry, Nubya Garcia, Jas Kayser, Richard Spaven and many others.

Zeñel utilises a unique approach to computer-based performance, allowing them to create a poetic combination of jazz improvisation and electronic music. Their style is centred around sounds seldom heard in live band contexts, drawing upon influences from a plethora of electronic production styles including grime, UK drill, afrobeats and future bass.

Zeñel's striking sound has already earned them early interest from Jamz Supernova (BBC1XTRA), DJ Laani (WWFM), Gordon Wedderburn (BMC) Jez Nelson (BBC), Gilles Peterson (BBC) and Tony Minvielle (JAZZFM)
