The Future of UK Jazz Hits Hitchin!
A band on the rise. A gig you can’t afford to miss.
Hitchin’s JazzUp is back with another unmissable night, bringing you nova.sol – the Leeds-based six-piece alternative jazz outfit taking the UK scene by storm. If you’re into Ezra Collective, Alfa Mist, or corto.alto, this is the band you need to see right now.
Fusing jazz, dance grooves, and high-energy improvisation, nova.sol are shaping the sound of UK jazz’s next generation. Their live shows are fast becoming legendary – expect pulsating rhythms, deep musicality, and blistering solos that keep the energy sky-high.
A Rising Force in UK Jazz
nova.sol aren’t just making music – they’re making history. They’ve already:
• Sold out their debut headline show at Hyde Park Book Club (Leeds) in October 2024
• Supported UK jazz heavyweights like Steam Down, Ife Ogunjobi (Ezra Collective), and TC and The Groove Family
• Lit up major festivals, including We Out Here and Leeds Jazz Festival
Serious Radio Play & Press Recognition
Their debut single ‘Sanguine’ and follow-up ‘In Between’ have earned airplay on BBC Introducing Leeds, BBC Radio 3 with Soweto Kinch, Jazz FM (Tony Minvielle & Chris Phillips), Soho Radio, Reprezent Radio, One Jazz Radio, Amazing Radio, and more.
Acclaimed broadcaster Tina Edwards even added nova.sol to her sought-after ‘Jazz UK’ playlist.
