FULL PERFORMANCE – Bill Laurance & The Untold Orchestra Live at London Jazz Festival 2021

Bill Laurance & The Untold Orchestra Live at EFG London Jazz Festival 2021.

Recorded at EFG London Jazz Festival in November 2021, genre-defying composer Bill Laurance returns with a sonically expansive album alongside the Untold Orchestra, performing music from across his career, reimagined and recontextualised for an ensemble as vast as this. A natural evolution of their collaborations to this point, this album acts as a climactic point of the first chapter of an evolving musical relationship. Laurance explains, “Performing with the Untold Orchestra is a special experience. Their unique chemistry and collective vision in pushing boundaries always lifts the music to new heights. Ultimately anything is
possible with this ensemble!"

The album will be available to stream on all major platforms & via Bill Laurance's Bandcamp, and a video of the entire show, recorded at the Union Chapel, will be available to stream on Bill's Youtube channel, with an optional donation option for fans to support Bill.
