Soulful, raw, and full of groove, this jazz collaboration between William Ravenscroft on tenor sax and Bradley Stow on trumpet brings fresh energy to the genre. Backed by a rhythm section that truly cooks, the band channels the R&B-rich soul jazz vibe of The Crusaders, infused with the explosive rhythms of Billy Cobham and the lyrical phrasing of Horace Silver. Together, they blend tight, melodic horns with deep, driving rhythms, creating a sound that’s both nostalgic and refreshingly modern. Their music isn’t just jazz; it’s a journey through soulful grooves that invites the audience to feel every beat.

After establishing himself early on as a "rising star" (Time Out, London) when moving to the British capital from Amsterdam, Kristian has cemented his name as a melodic contemporary jazz artist, who can be a leader and sideman alike. His British quartet has received much acclaim over the years. The Danish Jazz Magazine, Jazz Special, described the group as delivering “hard swing, lively post-bop and mellow Nordic melancholy to edgy jazz-rock fusion...with great force and a controlled ferocity which suits the quartet well”, and BBC Radio 3 presenter Julian Joseph recognised the group as “a band exercising a strong sense of control and empathy
