Hypnotising and powerful minimal music.
"Graham Costello’s STRATA can justifiably be classed amongst the very best of the British jazz revolution." - Louder Than War
Scottish drummer and composer Graham Costello creates music that ranges in energy from delicate, meditative ambience to cinematic post-rock, harnessing the power of repetitive, entrancing minimalist patterns. With his band STRATA, he has been nominated for Scottish Album of the Year, as well as eight Scottish Jazz Awards. STRATA’s energetic and organic groove music, alongside the hypnotising patterns and feel of minimalism has been described as “a meteorite on the scene and beyond.” (The National)
Costello and his peers are among the prominent new Scottish jazz artists bursting into the UK and International jazz scene, including <a href="spotify:artist:5Kd7e5lauV4CDdTHm5uiJH" data-name="corto.alto">corto.alto</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:5Yb1aFMX9xNtjFVDSdt2ZL" data-name="Fergus McCreadie">Fergus McCreadie</a>. In May 2021, after his widely-praised debut album <a href="spotify:album:67KBdMLZjidCCnHz5FCQuI" data-name="Obelisk">Obelisk</a> in 2019, Costello released his follow-up album with STRATA: <a href="spotify:album:6FBMzZNu3W5Ici6fDp7zDt" data-name="Second Lives">Second Lives</a> on Gearbox Records, to critical acclaim, with top UK jazz publication Jazzwise naming it one of the “Best Jazz Albums of 2021”.
2024/25 sees Costello refining the sound of STRATA further for album #3, with greater focus on repetitive minimal, hypnotic grooves, and shifting the gravity of the music more towards his voice on the drums.
Graham Costello’s STRATA features:
Harry Weir - bass clarinet & t. saxophone
Fergus McCreadie - piano
Kevin Cahill - guitar
