Shapeshifter is a new trio featuring three very special creative voices of the UK scene.

Creating a unique sonic experience, this new trio shifts moment to moment, gracefully and spontaneously stitching together sound landscapes and grooves. Taking the exploratory spirit of groups like Polar Bear and Malija, the band move together through a common language of jazz, rock, classical and free improvisation exploring dark textures and dramatic musical shifts as they revel in the unexpected!

All crucial musicians and composers on the UK music scene, between them Shapeshifter have played with a glittering array of artists including: Dave Holland, Django Bates, Jim Black, Kenny Wheeler, Norma Winstone, Laura Jurd, Rob Luft, Elliot Galvin, Polar Bear, Perfect Houseplants, Loose Tubes and Radiohead.

Composition & Saxophone: Mark Lockheart

Bass: Huw V Williams

Drums: Tim Giles

“A compellingly set joining rhythmically ingenious minimalism, funky hooks, dreamy ambient sounds over arco bass drones, three freely-improvised pieces, and much more.” John Fordham UK Jazz

“For anyone seeking the cutting edge of contemporary British jazz — composed, improvised, and deeply considered — Shapeshifter is an essential listen.” 5/5 UK Vibe
