The Shape Of Sound To Come is a unique series of curated events by promoters Bam!Bam!Bam! and Soundcrash, celebrating the rise and rise of the UK’s domineering UK jazz scene. The first edition features three powerhouses of the new movement, including Nubya Garcia, Vels Trio and Emma Jean Thackray.

“she doesn’t sing but she soars.” The Guardian
Vels Trio
Being almost indistinguishable by any sole genre, the group’s mutual loves and individual fortes across prog, electronic, jazz, funk and hip-hop has paved the collective way for their early sound.
“…dreamy space-jam, mixing up fragments of fusiony riffs with big washes of electronic sound to dramatic and very contemporary effect that borrows from jazz, rock, hip hop and funk without sounding like any of the above.” Jazzwise Magazine
Emma Jean Thackray
One of the most hyped artists of the new UK jazz scene. Emma-Jean Thackray is an award winning composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist – known especially for her trumpeting – who’s influenced by everything from J Dilla beats and Madlib’s characters to the sounds of Afrobeat.
