‘Celestial blues, wrapped in contemporary global grooves’ is how Jonathan Enser -multi-instrumentalist, composer and brass contributor for UK afro-jazz merchants Nubiyan Twist - defines his project MATTERS UNKNOWN.
With MATTERS UNKNOWN, Enser fuses deeply spiritual and soulful inspiration with undercurrents that carry grooves from the roots of the Blues to West Coast trap, all evoked through African diasporic influence. The music is uncrowded and languid, finding urgency without restlessness.
To help access his vision, he has put together an ensemble that features some of the most powerful forces exploring music in the UK, each with different languages for conversing with his compositions. MATTERS UNKNOWN draws on the energy of musicians from Nerija, Nala Sinephro, Emma-Jean Thackray’s band, Nubiyan Twist, Noya Rao, Golden Mean and beyond.
