About

Elftet, an 11-piece band comprising high quality young musicians, was formed in September 2015 by Jonny Mansfield of Jam Experiment fame and winner of 2018 Kenny Wheeler Jazz Prize. The band also includes Jam Experiment’s Rory Ingham, Rising Star award winner - 2017 British Jazz Awards. Jonny’s original compositions are influenced by those of Vince Mendoza, Marius Neset and Ravel, as well as songwriters such as Norah Jones and James Taylor. Elftet has been played on BBC Radio 3, and WBGO (New York jazz station) as well as having script in Jazzwise, London Jazz News and Jazzthing. Their 20 date UK tour is to promote the 2019 release of their Crowdfunded debut album featuring Chris Potter, Kit Downes and Gareth Lockrane. The 11-piece band has an amazing array of instruments.
