Ishmael Ensemble

Over the past five years, producer and saxophonist Pete Cunningham’s Ishmael Ensemble has gone from being a humble bedroom recording project to an integral part of the thriving UK jazz scene.

The group’s debut album A State Of Flow saw Cunningham explore an array of sonic scenery from lush cinematic soundscapes to raucous peaks of psychedelia that received high praise from listeners and journalists alike.

The group’s follow up record Visions of Light saw them further blur the lines between jazz and electronic music, taking the listener on an expansive journey in sound whilst flying the flag for their hometown of Bristol. The record went on to be crowned Huey Morgan’s Album of the Year on BBC 6 Music and saw them perform at The New York Winter Jazz Festival for Gilles Peterson.

All of the above has solidified Cunningham’s status as an in demand producer and remixer, working with a broad range of artists and labels from techno royalty, Carl Craig to the legendary jazz label, Blue Note Records.
