Our roster

Anatole Muster

At only 23 years of age, Swiss London-Based producer and accordion phenomenon Anatole Muster has already gained critical praise from both musicians and fans alike. His unique approach to modern jazz was featured by Jamie Cullum on his BBC 2 radio show and made him collaborate with genre-bending heavyweights just as Tennyson, Kiefer or Louis Cole. Anatole’s music has propelled him to perform worldwide, including shows at Montreux Jazz Autumn of Music, Rio Montreux Jazz Festival, Rakvere Funkfest in Estonia and two sold-out performances at Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club in London, to name a few.

Nikita Korzoun

Saxophonist and composer Nikita Korzoun, born in Tallinn, has always been passionate about jazz. He strives to bring back traditional jazz through his music while incorporating modern knowledge, skills, and sounds. His biggest inspirations are artists like Cannonball Adderley, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Kenny Garrett, Michael Brecker, and McCoy Tyner. Nikita has performed at various festivals, including the international festival Visioon, Tudengijazz, Jazz Time, Jazzkaar, Jazz Across Borders, and more. In 2018, he won the Round Table contest-concert. In 2021, Nikita made his debut with his own ensemble at the Baltics’ largest jazz festival, Jazzkaar. That same year, he achieved second place in the Uno Naissoo competition with the Mäekalle – Korzoun Duo. In 2023, his composition “Apfelsoda” secured third place in the same competition, and he was also nominated for the Estonian Jazz Awards in the Young Jazz Talent category. His work can be heard on his debut album “Count To Three.”

Tom Ford

Tom Ford has been a steady member of the UK jazz scene for the past 10 years having regularly performed at Ronnie Scotts, Jazz Cafe, 91 living room and more as well as being a regular sideman for Reuben James, Jas Kayser and Jay Phelps. He has also been welcomed into the US and European jazz scenes respectively touring and recording with Chris ‘daddy’ Daves drumhedz, Keyon Harrold, Petter Eldh’s Projekt Drums amongst others. Outside of jazz he also writes and produces for many people in both the jazz and commercial world, having working across the world in LA, NY, Europe and Brazil.

Mathei Florea New Grounds

Mathei Florea New Grounds is an eight-member Berlin-based modern- nordic jazz band. When combining a standard jazz quartet with strings, it becomes a musical delight—a mixture of modern jazz and classical music. The founder and leader of this group is pianist Mathei Florea. The compositions are greatly inspired by Petros Klampanis and Arvo Pärt.

ZAVA

Zava, also known as Natalja Zaugarova, is a new soul-pop artist from Estonia. With her music, Zava delivers all four seasons to the listener in just a few minutes—caressing the ears like a gentle spring breeze, shielding like an umbrella from autumn rain, filling the air with the scent of early spring flowers, and captivating audiences like the vibrant music festivals of summer. The Zava band was formed in the autumn of 2021, and Zava’s music is primarily written in collaboration between Natalja Zaugarova and Mihkel Mäekalle.

Amelia Rose
Gilad Hekselman

Gilad Hekselman is a leading Israeli-born, New York–based jazz guitarist known for his original compositions and distinctive style. Since arriving in New York in 2004, he has become a fixture in the jazz scene, performing globally with top artists including Chris Potter, Eric Harland, and Ari Hoenig, and at major venues such as Village Vanguard and the Blue Note. In November 2023, he released his latest LP Trio Grande: Urban Myth in partnership with Will Vinson and Nate Wood, followed by the live recordings in Life, at the Village Vanguard in April 2024, and has more recently released Downhill From Here with Larry Grenadier and Marcus Gilmore.

M Field

Anyone familiar with Matthew Field will know that staying in one lane isn’t really what he does. As the driving creative force behind Beatenberg, he’s helped shape a whole new music lexicon. As the sheer scope of his recorded output to date might suggest, Field is a musician who has ideas, melodies, and songs overflowing from him. Ranging from his sumptuous, sleep pop perfection that is ‘Gargoyle’, to more organic and stripped-back melodies within ‘Ten Is a Number’, it is easy to say that all various strands of M Field’s music to date provide pure unadulterated joy.
