Labels

Featured Artist | Empirical

British post-bop pin-up boys Empirical made a swift ascent to the heights of the UK jazz scene in April 2007, when their Courtney Pine produced, eponymous debut album garnering the group accolades such as Jazzwise Magazine's Album of the Year, Mojo Magazine's Jazz Album of the Year and BBC Jazz Awards Best Ensemble. Their 2009 debut Naim Jazz release Out ‘n' In was subsequently greeted with wide praise for its Eric Dolphy-inspired originals, culminating in a MOBO for Best Jazz Act, live on BBC TV in October 2010. This Autumn, Empirical have returned with Elements Of Truth, their most expertly crafted, mature and individual statement to date.

Stuart McCallum

"The music suggests the feel of the Cinematic Orchestra, Brian Eno and In a Silent Way-era Miles Davis" The Guardian 

Distilled, McCallum's brilliant third album, and first for Naim, is a sublime slice of ambient-jazz-electonica with beautiful melodies and gorgeous soundscapes.

Mancunian McCallum's Distilled has already gathered support from BBC Radio 1 Gilles Peterson, Radio 2 Jamie Cullum and Radio 3's Late Junction. Having launched Distilled at the Royal Northern College in the summer complete with orchestra and live visuals, Stuart supported Portico Quartet at The Southbank as part of London Jazz Festival 2011 and has a busy live schedule for 2012.

Watch the spine tingling performance of album opener dR Doctor from the Distilled launch during Manchester Jazz Festival this summer HERE.
