Bill Laurance & The Untold Orchestra Live at EFG London Jazz Festival 2021. Recorded at EFG London Jazz Festival in November 2021, genre-defying composer Bill Laurance returns with a sonically expansive album alongside the Untold Orchestra, performing music from across his career, reimagined and recontextualised for an ensemble as vast as this. A natural evolution of their collaborations to this point, this album acts as a climactic point of the first chapter of an evolving musical relationship. Laurance explains, “Performing with the Untold Orchestra is a special experience. Their unique chemistry and collective vision in pushing boundaries always lifts the music to new heights. Ultimately anything is possible with this ensemble!" The album will be available to stream on all major platforms & via Bill Laurance's Bandcamp, and a video of the entire show, recorded at the Union Chapel, will be available to stream on Bill's Youtube channel, with an optional donation option for fans to support Bill.

Genre-defying cellist Abel Selaocoe is joined by his band Chesaba and the Manchester Collective string players in this electrifying take on a traditional South African song. Its title, ‘Ka Bohaleng’ (On The Sharp Side) references a common saying that “a woman holds a knife on the sharp end”. The song is a dedication to all mothers, and the women who take care of us through times of hardship. Filmed as part of the Sirocco tour at the Royal Northern College of Music, Manchester in October 2019. Manchester Collective feat.

Hands up for the amazing Sidiki Dembélé, a true master of his craft. This song for the n’goni and calabash (traditional African instruments) was written in dedication to his grandfather, who was the chief griot for the Ivory Coast. Sidiki is joined by the Manchester Collective string quartet, who built upon the tune’s foundations through improvisation and playing together.
