Most I know I like a lot, so I should check out some of the others.
Voted Hidden Orchestra, Dawn of Midi, Portico Quartet, Plaistow. The Necks, Ronin & Ezra not far behind.

Although I'd say Dawn of Midi are about as anti-jazz and formalist as it gets. Who put them into the nu-jazz box?

Hmm...I've never heard of Ronin, The Necks, and esp Thumbscrew being described as nu jazz. 

I'm still going to vote for the Necks, mind.

I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive

I voted for my favourite 10 of these, but it would have been easy to keep going! 🤪

Yazz Ahmed, Moses Boyd, The Comet Is Coming, Sons of Kemet, Nubya Garcia, GoGo Penguin, The Kandinsky Effect, Mammal Hands, Shabaka and the Ancestors, and World Service Project.

Nice list! 👍🏻

If you like minimalist music I'd start with Nik Bartsch Ronin, The Necks & Gogo Penguins.



A more post rock sort of vibe - Dylan Ryan Sand, Blue Cranes, Hidden Orchestra


Afrobeat influenced - The Comet Is Coming, Moses Boyd, Sons Of Kemet



That The Comet Is Coming track is probably my favorite by anyone in the last five years.

Been digging all these bands for a while in the nu jazz scene. Who do you like?

I deliberately left off bands who are on PA.

Please post comments
