HEAD HUNTERS

MAMA TERRA “HEAD HUNTERS”

MAMA TERRA is the new Scottish Jazz/Soul ensemble from the minds of Marco Cafolla (keys/piano) & Konrad Wisniewski (saxophone). Drawing from an inner journey of discovery, their upcoming album on the legendary Acid Jazz Records is a Jazz/Soul roots based record with influences from John Coltrane, Nina Simone, McCoy Tyner, Miles Davis to Kamasi Washington, Erykah Badu and Robert Glasper. They have already been championed by Jazz FM (playlisting debut single ‘Ruptura’ for six consecutive weeks and counting) and BBC Radio Scotland, all of which lead to Mama Terra signing with Acid Jazz.

Mama Terra recreate songs from the classic album ‘Head Hunters’ by Herbie Hancock, in their own sound, that they first performed live to great acclaim for Jazz FM as part of their classic album series to celebrate the album turning 50 years old. This is accompanied by a set of Mama Terra’s original music from their debut album ‘The Summoned’.

BEN SHANKLAND TRIO

Ben Shankland with Chun-Wei Kang & Ali Watson

Winner of 2023 BBC Radio Scotland Young Jazz Musician of the Year, Edinburgh-born pianist and composer Ben Shankland is, despite his young age, already gaining recognition on the UK jazz scene. He began his musical journey studying classical piano and bassoon, which greatly developed his general musicality before finding an interest in jazz in his teens. Before long, he was hooked and began honing his craft as a member of Scotland’s finest youth jazz orchestras, with mentorship from pianists John Turville and Alan Benzie, and saxophonists Tommy Smith and Mike Williams.

Currently, he performs with his trio regularly around the country, exploring his original compositions with Ewan Hastie and Chun-Wei Kang. He is also active as a solo pianist, an interest which developed out of his classical background and inspiration from the music of Fred Hersch. In addition to his work as a leader, Ben has performed and recorded as a sideman in various bands with fellow young musicians.

Alongside his primary focus in improvised music, Ben continues to perform in the classical world. Notably, he recently accompanied BBC Young Musician 2022 percussionist Jordan Ashman in an award-winning recital, and was the soloist in three performances of George Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue with the Edinburgh Youth Orchestra. His ability to engage and connect with audiences at his young age truly sets him apart as one to watch in the years to come.

‘Easeful harmonising and sureness of touch leave one eager to hear more from Shankland in the future’
– Scottish Jazz Space

‘He is the perfect all-round musician, thoroughly grounded in the history and feel of jazz.’
– John Turville, Jazz Pianist

‘Great effervescence and jazz creativity’
– Tommy Smith, Jazz Saxophonist

Saxophonist Bobby Watson, known for his exceptional talent, held a significant role as the Musical Director of the Jazz Messengers from 1977 to 1981. This period played a pivotal role in his musical career, firming his standing in the jazz community. Watson’s collaborations include jazz giants like Max Roach, Louis Hayes, George Coleman, Branford and Wynton Marsalis.

Additionally, he has supported vocal talents like Joe Williams, Dianne Reeves and Lou Rawls. Watson started his group, Horizon, with bassist Curtis Lundy and drummer Victor Lewis. Horizon’s music mirrors the Jazz Messengers’ style but with a modern twist. Their acclaimed discography features albums like Post-Motown Bop and Midwest Shuffle, Live! under Blue Note and Columbia labels.

Making a triumphant return to Glasgow after a hiatus of over a decade, Watson’s long-awaited comeback is sure to be a highlight of this year’s festival, echoing his 1994 stint as Artist in Residence exactly 30 years ago.
