The Jazz Defenders are a group that defends the legacy of those recordings whilst creating it's own original identity and distinction. The music they produce together is a modern soul jazz slant on this classic hard bop, effortlessly channeling the spirit of the golden Blue Note era of jazz. The group's brainchild, pianist and composer George Cooper, has at a young age already amassed a comprehensive repertoire of musical credits including Hans Zimmer, Nigel Kennedy, U2, Omar, Slum Village, MF Doom, The Brand New Heavies, The Haggis Horns, Abstract Orchestra and Lack of Afro.George Cooper - Piano KeyboardsWill Harris - BassIan Matthews - DrumsNick Malcolm - TrumpetJake McMurchie - Tenor Sax
