People Open DS/UK/22586 Bonsai (2014) Bonsai 2014 British jazz band Group (Male) Jam Experiment London, England (formed) British Music Group; Jazz Members: Rory Ingham (2017 Rising Star in British Jazz Awards) - trombone, Dominic Ingham - violin, vocals, Toby Comeau - piano, keyboard, Joe Lee - bass, Jonny Mansfield (Kenny Wheeler Jazz Prize winner) - drums. Chosen in the ‘Shape of Jazz to Come in 2018’ in Jazzwise, Bonsai (formerly known as Jam Experiment) are an award winning band based in London. They have appeared on BBC Radio 3 and Jazz FM numerous times, and played at leading jazz festivals and venues across the UK including London Jazz Festival, Love Supreme Festival,Cheltenham Jazz Festival, and Ronnie Scott’s. They released their “irresistible” debut album ‘Jam Experiment’ in 2017 followed by a 40 date UK Tour! In the Summer of 2018 they embarked upon a European tour, including appearances in Rome, Berlin, Prague, Kraków and Budapest. Bonsai's sound is dynamic jazz fusion balanced with intricate compositions andadventurous improvisations negotiated through mutual admiration for each other. The band has no leader or rather, each member is the leader; through this process they've challenged their own musical boundaries. Given that the Ingham brothers have been playing together for nearly 20 years, when the unusual frontline of trombone/violin/vocals is met with the ferociously “high- octane” rhythm section, the ensemble has an electric synergy that results in “pure musical gold”. http://bonsaibanduk.com/home-2#info (2019) International Standard Archival Authority Record for Corporate Bodies, Persons and Families - ISAAR(CPF) 2nd edition - ICA 2004 ISBN 2-9521932-2-3 National Council on Archives, Rules for the Construction of Personal, Place and Corporate Names, 1997 RAHAKirkbride 9/24/2019 Rachael.Fragola 3/1/2022 00356fa9-30af-4d5a-a467-a63242c476ff
