"the heavyweights of the contemporary jazz scene" Album Of The Week, The Independent

Get The Blessing are much beloved for taking the ‘J' word by the scruff of the neck and giving it a good shake. The romantic rumours that the BBC Jazz Award-winning contemporary quartet Get The Blessing met at an Ornette Coleman Appreciation Society in Bristol, could easily be true. Get The Blessing's unique performances hark of the rich Bristolian melancholy that revolutionised British pop music in the 90s, yet reflecting esoteric variations on where jazz as-we-know-it has come from and is heading.

The bi-polar suggestions of new album ‘OC DC', their third album as a group and the first for new home Naim Jazz Records, is summed up crisply by bass player Jim Barr: "OC DC is when you flip between being obsessive compulsive...and not", a fitting summation of the personality disorder that has Get The Blessing musing over jazz traditions whilst simultaneously wrestling the inner rock n' roll beast which has previously labelled them ‘punk-jazz' by the media 

The group's debut release for Naim Jazz Records has drawn critical acclaim in the UK. Now the quartet set their sights on world domination with a European and North American tour this spring and summer. More details HERE.
