Cesca are a modern jazz trio formed in 2014, with a line-up of electric guitar, drums and keyboards. The trio released a self-titled EP in September 2015 and is now emerging into the underground music scene in London. Cesca’s music takes influence from artists such as Tim Berne, Troyka and Phronesis, their sound encompassing a broad spectrum of intricate grooves, punchy melodies and dynamic basslines.

Cambridge based, seven-piece, jazz, neo-soul and funk band, Mode9 is led by composer, arranger and vocalist Ollie Lepage-Dean and mixes smooth melodies with the most unique harmonies and a slick, fiery horn section (arrangements by James Brady Music).
Performing mostly original arrangements, influences on the band include Erykah Badu, Esperanza Spalding and Jamie Cullum, and as well as hearing some of the best original writing around, audiences can also be treated to some popular favourites heard in astonishingly fresh and exciting arrangements including Maroon 5’s Moves Like Jagger and Stevie Wonder’s Superstition.
The band have recently returned from the recording studio and their new debut album, 'On Standby' will be released shortly. Performing regularly in Cambridge for a variety of jazz nights and private functions, future plans for the group include a return tour to Brussels following great success in late 2013 and a tour to Northern England. They recently also played at the Cheltenham Jazz Festival 2016.
