The London jazz scene, especially its younger generation, is defined by a blend of club, electronic, African/Caribbean influences, improvisation, and jazz tradition. Sam Barrell Jones sits at the heart of this ecosystem, moving effortlessly between straight jazz and hybrid, club-influenced contexts — a hallmark of the new London jazz scene.

His collaborations with leading artists such as Nubya Garcia and Sons of Kemet highlight his versatility and establish him as a key figure in the contemporary UK jazz scene.
In this live drumming performance of his solo track “The Bredrin’s” we get a deeper insight into Sam´s tasteful grooves, dynamics that add exciting musicality to the music.
