This is the launch of The Langham Sessions – a new home for new takes on jazz, blues, funk, and the broken-beat, brewed and played at the foot of the South Downs. To open it, we’ve got Tom O’Grady’s Resolution 88. Founded in 2012, four albums in, mastered in New York by Bob Power (D’Angelo, Erykah Badu, The Roots), shared stages with Snarky Puppy, Roy Ayers, Marcus Miller and Yellowjackets. Sold out Ronnie Scott’s. Played and championed by Gilles Peterson and Craig Charles. Larry Mizell calls them “Band on the Rise.”
A 1975 Fender Rhodes, fat bass, drums that snap, sax that soars. Herbie Hancock and the Headhunters reimagined through the same London jazz renaissance that gave us Ezra Collective, Yussef Kamaal and Kokoroko – but with their own sound, their own story, and a deeper grounding in the funk-jazz tradition than most of their peers.
Music made for moving.
The Langham Sessions are about exploration and discovery. New grooves, new takes on jazz, blues and funk. Musical energy emerging anywhere from the south coast to south London, redefining jazz, dance, and funk as they go. These are special rare events, curated carefully for ambitious listeners, with an ear for inspired, fun, energetic music. The Sessions bring jazz, funk and blues into the brewery at Lodsworth – courtyard in summer, barrel room when the weather turns. The music is urban; the setting is bucolic; the juxtaposition is the point. Sets lean to the emerging end of the UK jazz and blues scene, with occasional headline names. Sessions maybe filmed and recorded for release afterwards. This is music brewed, played, and recorded at Langham on the Cowdray Estate.
In your hand: The Cut, our co-branded Langham session ale, pouring for the first time anywhere. Beer brewed for the band. Music brewed for the beer.
