The trio comes from Brighton (UK) and is known in the new jazz scene, even though it started recently. Her only work, which brings five songs together, saw the light in 2017 and in 2018 published a Single through streamming platforms. It's no easy task to be creating a name with six songs. Cory Henry and the Funk Apostles, Sons of Kemet, Boses Boyd’s Exodus, Nubya Garcia, etc.

Even though its stage is a jazz circuit, tagging only generates prejudice. Jazz is, without a doubt, its style, because of the place that improvisation occupies in its music. But it won't be that easy to look for other similar groups with that tag. The formats are low, battery and keyboard synthesizers. And although that was invented by Herbie Hanckok, the color that the trio brings is different.

The inert funk, hip-hop, trip-hop and electronics are the topics touched on in this work. The concepts are close to Kamaal Williams (formerly Yussef Kamaal), but they cannot be compared to his gigantic talent. That's why compositions are more modest and they're looking for the strength somewhere else. In force, for example.

The Vels Triío have brought direct energy that is not noted in the recordings of the band. They've done the songs faster and more forcefully. The blame for everything is probably borne by the Dougal Taylor battery, which was convicted. Break the characteristic monotony of hip-hop, smoothing the dishes. It also gives strength to the bombon in black people, to the extent that it seems that at some points they jump to techno. The rhythm, sometimes, has to be carried by the bass player Cameron Dawson. Mark the accents with your head while Taylor makes one free. Sometimes we don't know if the tempo they're trying to confuse or gets to the end.

The singer Jack Stephenson-Oliver is in charge of bringing the melody. Although it is sometimes difficult to control sound, it occupies space well. Do chords with a long synte and melodies and alone with the other. Sometimes it seems that it has little keyboard for two hands.

They've given a great concert. Improvisations have been combined with strong and dancing groove. A spectacular and inspiring pace for Wednesday. The maximum penalty is that the room was half empty at one of the best concerts of the season in San Sebastian. About 40 people in a space for over 300 people. If it were a Jazzaldia, the room would be full, surely, but for the Donostiarras jazz is nothing more than music from summer festivals.
