Jon Lloyd | John Law present: Naissance
UK Duo present music that explores beauty, space and silence.
In 2019 John Law and Jon Lloyd, two jazz and improvising musicians who have been playing and
recording together since the 1990’s, started John’s new project Renaissance, playing improvised
saxophone and keyboard lines over ambient looped samples of renaissance sacred vocal music,
accompanied by a live visual artist.
This toured in UK cathedrals and churches from 2019 - 2022.
Now, as a pared down duo, they present: Naissance. Covering some of the music from
Renaissance - mixing live acoustic piano and keyboards with backing track samples - and adding
to that some of their original, minimalist compositions. The result is one of interactive lines, like a
conversation, with the emphasis on beauty and form.
2024 sees the release of their duo album: Naissance on 33JAZZ
