Times 9
The Council of 9
A bold and visionary new statement from the London jazz, blues and world music scene.
The Council of 9 lean a different way into the vastness of jazz, it’s hard to classify as the flavours are so unique.
A London-based collective that blends jazz, world music, and blues in a Jazz Groove Field. An audio force vibrating. The band is celebrated for its rich, immersive live performances and storytelling through melody and rhythm. The band features a rotating cast of seasoned musicians from the London music scene.
Their debut project, Times 9, highlights their dedication to collective improvisation and varied musical storytelling. Each track is built around a successive time signature, with the ensemble expanding in size track by track — beginning with solitary drums and evolving progressively into a full nine-piece band. An unfolding story using 9 as its central theme.
Expect an eclectic musical journey through nine original compositions blending classic, world, and spiritual jazz.
Available on all streaming media, and limited edition 180g LP.
