Jazz meets hip-hop and dub on keyboardist Joe Armon-Jones’ Brownswood debut

With Nubya Garcia, Moses Boyd, Maxwell Owin and more.

Keyboardist Joe Armon-Jones is releasing his debut LP, Starting Today, via Brownswood this May.

Mixing jazz with hip-hop and dub production influences, the album features a band including Nubya Garcia (whose new solo EP Armon-Jones plays on), Moses Boyd, Oscar Jerome, and Maxwell Owin.

Starting Today follows Armon-Jones’ Idiom EP with Owin – one of our favourite 12″s of 2017, collaborations on Brownswood’s stellar We Out Here compilation and Ezra Collective’s Juan Pablo: The Philosopher LP.
