Manchester nu-jazz collective Glowrogues was formed in 2016 by multi-instrumentalist and composer-producer Jim Molyneux.
Jim says: “Manchester has an amazing music scene, there are some truly amazing creative personalities; the truth is that when I lived there I did plenty wedding gigs with these absolute monster players, and but not a whole lot else. It felt like the least creative way to spend time with some of the most creative people I know. So, I started this band and wrote some tunes.”
Four years on, and Glowrogues have taken their signature hip hop inspired jazz sounds on tours of the UK twice, released an E.P. and a live album, and performed a headline slot at Manchester Jazz Festival.
Their latest musical offering, “Glowing,” released on December 11th, features a sample from Patti Page’s 1952 recording of “Let Me Call You Sweetheart,” and also features Molyneux on vocals, as well as the band’s sax player, Sam Healey.
