Memory in Motion

EDITORIAL REVIEWS
Following up on their #7 JazzWeek Chart hit Scheming, The Jazz Defenders return with their latest new release - MEMORY IN MOTION. (14 weeks in the top 50). Led by one of the UK's most formidable jazz pianists, George Cooper, The Jazz Defenders are a group born from a deep love of Blue Note jazz, drawing on a wealth of inspiration to craft their own raw and vibrant compositions. The Jazz Defenders are making a name for themselves that should provide them with worldwide acceptance, either in Prague or Brooklyn. With rave reviews from Brian Payne/Jazz Journal, Paul Donovan/KUVO Top 10 albums of 2023, Duc des Lombards in Paris, TSF Jazz Festival, Cork Jazz Festival, Craig Charles/BBC Radio 6, Music Republic Magazine, Rye Jazz Festival - THE JAZZ DEFENDERS - Modern Soul & Hard Bop Jazz With A Cutting Edge, The Red Hot Jazz Club Presents: The Jazz Defenders, fresh from their sell-out gig at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club, The Jazz Defenders bring their own brand of Blue Note and Soul inspired original Jazz to Glastonbury's red Brick Building. As the band continue to distinctly 'defend' the legacy of some of the classic hard bop greats such as Horace Silver, Lee Morgan and Art Blakey, they are beginning to evolve their modern soul jazz slant to combine solid grooves and catchy horn lines with a collaborative and all-encompassing sound, fusing soul, jazz, hip hop, soundtrack and groove into a masterful union that leaves audiences mesmerized. The group's brainchild, pianist, and composer George Cooper, has at a young age already amassed a comprehensive repertoire of musical credits including Hans Zimmer, Nigel Kennedy, U2, Omar, Slum Village, MF Doom, The Brand-New Heavies, Lisa Stansfield, Wet Wet Wet, The Haggis Horns, Abstract Orchestra and Lack of Afro.
