Sean Khan Presents The Modern Jazz & Folk Ensemble (LP & CD) [Pre-Order]

*Pre-Order / Releases 24 May*

Following the release of two singles ‘I’ve Got a Feeling’ (with Jacqui McShee) and the spellbinding version of Nick Drake’s ‘Parasite’ (featuring Kindelan), the eponymous album from ‘The Modern Jazz & Folk Ensemble’ will be out on 24 May on Acid Jazz, led by the new single ‘Solid Air’. 

Led by the trail blazing London based saxophonist Sean Khan, the album pays tribute to the sounds of the late ‘60s and early ‘70s folk revival, recast and reimagined in a jazz setting, with featured guest vocalists, including compositions by Pentangle, Sandy Denny, John Martyn and Nick Drake.

Featured singers include the legendary Pentangle lead singer Jacqui McShee, acclaimed singer-guitarist Rosie Taylor-Frater on the back of her recently released and critically acclaimed ‘Featherweight’ album on Cooking Vinyl, plus emerging artist Kindelan from vibrant Leeds folk and jazz scene.

Sean Khan is known as one of the UK’s premier saxophonists, driven by a serious work ethic and urge to create new sounds. The Modern Jazz and Folk Ensemble is his follow up to Supreme Love: A Journey Through John Coltrane released on BBE Records. His distinctive playing can be heard throughout, as he successfully connects the dots between Coltrane and Nick Drake.

‘The Modern Jazz & Folk Ensemble’ is presented  a beautiful LP with inner sleeve and gatefold-style CD evocative of the Seventies folk era.
