WALRUS, by Emma-Jean Thackray

WALRUS

by Emma-Jean Thackray

supported by

Rob O. Fresh, innovative and very cool! The tuba really adds a unique element that you don't hear very often in typical Jazz records. The textures are very smooth. I wish this was a full album, it leaves you wanting more. Looking forward to the vinyl! Emma-Jean is off to a great start. Love the cover artwork too! Favorite track: Birthday Cake.

𝕋𝕨𝕚𝕤𝕥𝕖𝕕𝕤𝕠𝕦𝕝 Thackray clearly strives to bring fresh ideas to the genre by creating something unquie and distinctive with each track on the EP. Favorite track: Walrus.

petroski reminds me how good jazz can be

lunchtimecontinuum Utterly delicious, perfectly weird, excellent low-end groove. Favorite track: Baro Bop.

about

Emma-Jean Thackray London, UK

Bandleader, multi-instrumentalist and producer, Emma-Jean Thackray was born and raised in Yorkshire but is today a resident of Catford, south-east London.
