Ancient Infinity Orchestra

After they launched their debut album "River Of Light" in autumn 2023 for Gondwana Records, Leeds spiritual jazz ensemble Ancient Infinity Orchestra have been on an incredible journey these last twelve months, from local jazz scene heroes to international artists. At the end of 2023, they recorded a session for Jamie Cullium's BBC Radio 2 jazz show (live at the famous Maida Vale studios), were named by Gilles Peterson as one of his "tips for 2024" and their debut album popped up on many "Best Albums Of 2023" lists worldwide. In 2024, they appeared at jazz venues and festivals in the UK and beyond including the North Sea Jazz Festival in Holland (established in 1976 and one of Europe's biggest jazz festivals) as well as Gilles Peterson's ever popular We Out Here Festival.

Almost one year on from the release of their debut album and the sold-out home city album launch at Brudenell Social Club in December 2023, they return to the venue for one of their final live shows of 2024. The date is Thursday 31st October and once again, it will be a seated show.

Ancient Infinity Orchestra is the 14-member jazz ensemble led by double-bassist and composer Ozzy Moysey which is based in Leeds in the North of England – home to one of the most innovative and community-based jazz scenes in the UK. The rotating line-up includes drums, two bassists, keyboards, harp, violin, cello, two tenors, alto, oboe, flute and percussion. Formed in 2018, they've built up a strong following in the city with their exciting live shows.

Their Gondwana Records debut ‘River of Light’ came out in November 2023 and drinks deep from the well of spiritual jazz. The music is especially inspired by the soulful sounds of Pharoah Sanders, Alice and John Coltrane – all of whom are mentioned in the brilliant track ‘Pharoah Sings’ – but also channels a certain Northern sensibility that can be heard in the music of Matthew Halsall or Alabaster de Plume. Melodic, warm and honest, this is music that is happy to wear its heart on its sleeve.
