HEAR MY NEW ALBUM ON BANDCAMP - HERE

Stephen Godsall is a composer/multi-instrumentalist based in Dorset, England, combining jazz, classical and experimental rock approaches. The pieces dance and improvise whilst evoking wild landscapes and ancient sites. His recordings are full of colourful sounds, syncopation and moving parts. Three albums are available on Bandcamp, “Atlantic Skies” from 2020 “We could fix everything” from 2021 and “Ukulele Forms” from 2023. Also the 2022 EP “The stars displaced - 4 speculations on what Jimi Hendrix might have done next”

He performs with three bands, 8 piece “Blue Tides”, quintet “Sarah Bolter and the Godsall Brothers” and trio “The Hot Ukulele Club”.

 

THOUGHTS

Latest thoughts

“What is striking about this album is the variety of the themes, influences and styles...keep an ear for the arrangements because there is a lot more going on.... a dynamic landscape into which the guitar drops and falls away with flute and other instruments....great sax and vocals..beautiful resonating depths....inordinately enjoyable.”

-Sammy Stein, JazzViews

“Unusual melodies supported by edgy harmonies make for a modern yet highly accessible sound. fantastic compositional range, a fresh and satisfying take on modern jazz.”

— Andi C, The Fret Connexion, Skyline Gold FM
