J2oh are a hybrid-jazz duo based in the North of England, with Jenny Walinetski on drums and Jemma Freese on keys and vocals. Their energetic and emotionally epic sound comes from a hybrid of hiphop/trap/dnb/electronic and contemporary jazz, using cross signatures, melodic phrasing, rhythmical hooks, complex harmony and vocal sound bites to create their sound.

Each composition is rooted in improvisation, which is part of their creative process and is also how the two met. Influences include; Floating Points, Gretchen Parlato, Yussef Kamaal, Portico Quartet, Slowly Rolling Camera and Richard Spaven.

Performance highlights include; Leeds Jazz Festival, Band on the Wall, Low Four Studios and supporting K.O.G. and Franz Von (Nubiyan Twist) in Sheffield. In 2022 they received a placement on Sage Gateshead’s Summer Studios scheme.

Tonight, expect an original performance of drums and synth/vocals based high energetic music, with a heavy focus on hybrid jazz with elements of DnB and time crossovers. A few sneaky covers will be thrown in, in J2oh’s unique style.
