THE CONRAD CLENTON NONET

protest music

The Conrad Clenton Nonet brings the immense force of a fully fledged musical freight train thundering down the tracks to the sound of rambunctious jazz and blues. 

Comprised of eager Leeds Conservatoire alumni, the nonet amplifies its members' powerful voices by pushing the sonic boundaries of improvised music whilst rooted in the rich blues tradition. After playing together consistently for the past three years, the band operates like a well-oiled machine, allowing for pure freedom of expression and musical understanding between the players. 

The Conrad Clenton Nonet is a bold call to action, a musical powerhouse and a force to be reckoned with. 

Like it was from the pen of Mingus himself”
