Jackson Mathod Elevates Jazz with Explosive Single 'Mandible'

Following the successful release of "Watermelon Man," "Mandible" builds upon the excitement surrounding the EP, capturing Jackson Mathod's signature jazz style while introducing fresh energy to the project. Known for his impressive musical background, including performances on major platforms like BBC London, and Jazz FM, and an iconic appearance alongside Stormzy at Glastonbury, Mathod’s growth as a standout jazz artist is undeniable.

"Mandible" immediately grabs the listener's attention with its playful homage to the classic Jaws theme, using a foreboding ‘duh-dum’ rhythm before exploding into a vibrant trumpet showcase. Mathod’s trumpet, the track's centerpiece, takes the listener through rich, electric melodies, while the rest of the band provides a dynamic and electric backdrop. The interplay between the brass and electric keys creates an eclectic soundscape, balancing fiery intensity with quieter, more introspective moments.

The song highlights Mathod’s deep love for the trumpet, an instrument he describes as incredibly versatile. He notes how it has always fascinated him with its ability to adapt across genres and contexts, and "Mandible" is a perfect example of that versatility. The track also features shimmering electric keys that recall Mathod’s admiration for Bill Evans, providing a smooth and rich texture throughout the composition.

As the second single from Studio Natives Vol. 1, "Mandible" exemplifies Mathod’s unique ability to blend jazz with modern influences, creating a timeless and fresh sound. The complexity of the arrangements in his composition showcases his unique approach, with each section feeling like a new chapter in the unfolding story of the song. The mix of electric instruments and dynamic trumpet solos guarantees that "Mandible" will make a lasting impact on both jazz fans and newcomers.

With the release of Studio Natives Vol. 1 scheduled for November 29th, 2024, “Mandible” is a striking preview of what’s to come. Fans of Jackson Mathod can expect an EP that pushes boundaries while staying true to the artist’s jazz roots, with "Mandible" leading the charge in style and substance.
