Founded over a decade ago and now widely recognized, WorldService Project adds a unique, individual spot of colour to the palette of British jazz. Their music is both loud as a cannon and rich in groovy and funky details; it is equally likely to make you want to dance and remember Frank Zappa’s sensuous and chaotic tunes. Led by singer-keyboardist Dave Morecroft, the quintet released its fifth studio album, Hiding in Plain Sight, in 2020. It was debuted at the London Jazz Festival, and garnered enthusiastic reviews. A distinctive brand of British humour and biting political satire are part and parcel of WorldService Project’s shows. Every concert is a musical performance and a farce at the same time: bold, innovative music-making that you can relate to ecstatically or contemplatively.
