The Mantle Septet combines two small groups, a Jazz Guitar Trio and a String Quartet. Combining elements of Jazz and Chamber music in a modern way.

‘The goal is to keep the spontaneity and energy of a small jazz combo but add the beautifulness of a string quartet. The two combos will at times be working together but at other times they will be working to contrast each other.’ – Theo Thompson

‘I love playing these tunes, they are fun.’ – Jack Harris

Inspired by the music of Julian Lage, Reuben Bradly’s Mantis, The Troubles, Mark Lockett’s Swings and Roundabouts and many Classic Jazz and Chamber music recordings. 

Featuring. Theo Thompson (Guitar and Composition), Jack Harris(Bass), John Rae (Drums), and a String Quartet – Lead by Xavier Ngaro.

This show will be entertaining, serious, silly, sad, happy, sarcastic, and you might be surprised.
