Towards the end of August, an update on activity! Naissance and Jon Lloyd Quartet are moving onwards… Naissance have some lovely concerts, and especially in the UK at Bristol Music Club in the Ppianissimo series. We start in September and continue into 2026, with very varied line-ups. Naissance alone in September, Naissance Plus featuring Laura Jurd on October 3rd.
Soon to announce our short Netherlands/ Germany tour in late September also!
Jon Lloyd Quartet have two concerts left this year… 17th October at Poole Lighthouse and 21st at PizzaExpress Live, Chelsea, London. These two concerts will feature a lot of new tunes, and as Nick Pini is away in the USA, will feature super-sub bassist Ashley John-Long!
The quartet is currently with ECN, following the demise this year of Ubuntu. We are recording a new album in January 2026, and will update on where, when and on what label the second JLQ album will appear. Please watch this space.
