About
A band comprised of in demand UK musicians playing the music of the great late Allan Holdsworth.
At only 23 years of age, Swiss London-Based producer and accordion phenomenon Anatole Muster has gained critical praise from both musicians and fans alike. His unique approach to modern jazz got featured by Jamie Cullum on his BBC 2 radio show and made him collaborate with genre-bending heavyweights just as Tennyson, Kiefer or Louis Cole. Anatole’s music has propelled him to perform worldwide, including shows at Montreux Jazz Autumn of Music, Rio Montreux Jazz Festival, Rakvere Funkfest in Estonia and two sold-out performances at Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club in London, to name a few.
