JK Group - The Young Ones

JK Group are a powerhouse nu-jazz band fronted by Melbourne

saxophonist Josh Kelly, best known for his work with future soul-jazz

collective, 30/70, and being the 2019 PBS Young Elder of Jazz.

They sit in the crossover of raw, live jazz and electronic/dance

production. At times synth-heavy, effected and soundscapey, while at

other times hard hitting groove laden with spiritual jazz overtones and

no-holds-barred improvising. Their sound nods respectfully to classic

jazz traditions, whilst carving a path that unashamedly looks towards the

future, embracing modern influences and production techniques.
