Get The Blessing, hailing from Bristol, UK, has been crafting a unique blend of jazz, rock, and electronic elements since their formation in the late 1990s. The band was born out of the musical kinship between bassist Jim Barr and drummer Clive Deamer, both of whom are known for their association with the trip-hop band Portishead. They were later joined by saxophonist Jake McMurchie and trumpeter Pete Judge, completing the line-up that would bring an adventurous and eclectic sound to the contemporary jazz scene.
The ensemble has earned acclaim for their innovative sound, characterized by atmospheric textures and compelling rhythms. Their discography showcases a penchant for pushing the boundaries of jazz, exploring a variety of moods and styles. Key albums like "OCDC" and "Lope and Antilope" have demonstrated their ability to blend punchy horn lines with electronic influences, while records such as "Astronautilus" and the politically charged "Bristopia" reflect their continuous evolution as artists. With a distinct sonic footprint that melds the improvisational spirit of jazz with the drive of rock, Get The Blessing continues to be a dynamic force propelling forward the UK's vibrant jazz scene.
