Since the release of his wildly acclaimed debut album Phase in 2016, during a period which saw the then 24 year old top the BBC Sound Of poll and win the BRITS Critics Choice Award, Jack Garratt has carved out a reputation as one of music's most forward-thinking practitioners; a multi-talented artist whose unique blend of jazz inflected electronica, R&B and big singer-songwriter anthems continues to quietly push boundaries. Described by the Daily Telegraph as "an incredible performer to witness live", Garratt is also widely regarded as a powerful, soulful singer and a master multi-instrumentalist who elevates his music to monumental levels during his incendiary live shows, and it's one of these inimitable live performances - recorded during a run of intimate live shows at PizzaExpress Live Holborn last year - that is set for release on PX Records.
