THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “Keyboardist, producer and songwriter Joe Armon-Jones has just delivered his most elevated solo project to date. All The Quiet is a galvanising statement of intent, traversing jazz, funk, dub, hip hop, and soul music, entirely written, produced and mixed by Armon-Jones himself.
As a band member, he is best known as part of the Mercury Prize-winning Ezra Collective, who capped 2024 by being the first jazz band to headline London’s Wembley Arena. All The Quiet (Part I) is the first instalment in a two-part album, released on his own label Aquarii Records. Guest musicians and features include Greentea Peng, Wu-Lu, Yazmin Lacey, Hak Baker, Nubya Garcia, Oscar Jerome and more. Part II is due in summer.
Six years have passed since Armon-Jones’ last solo album, 2019’s Turn To Clear View, which was released on Gilles Peterson’s Brownswood Recordings. But don’t mistake that gap for a break. In that time, he’s toured the world, built a studio, contributed to albums from the great and good of U.K. jazz, and recorded collaborative releases with Liam Bailey, Fatima, Hak Baker, Prince Fatty, Ranking Joe, Maxwell Owin and dubstep legend Mala.”
