Dissolving the lines between jazz, rock and electronic music, St. Barbe create a rich and expansive sound world fuelled by high-octane improvisation, ethereal textures and complex beats.
The band made their debut in 2021 with Shapeless, a self-produced and independently-released three track E.P which garnered support from Spotify’s editorial jazz playlists and received a feature in Guitar Magazine, accumulating over three hundred thousand streams to date. In July 2022 they supported world-renowned guitarist Mike Stern at London's Jazz Cafe, following a U.K tour with dates in Manchester, Nottingham, Bristol and a featured performance at Cheltenham Jazz Festival.

The band now return to Grow to mark the release of their second single of 2022, ’Tellicherry.’ For fans of 'Shapeless', St. Barbe’s upcoming release occupies a similar world; heavy grooves, memorable melodies and electronic soundscapes. It also represents an evolution in the band’s sound, in which production and arrangement come to the forefront and the improvisation that defined their first E.P remains as an undercurrent in the musical narrative.
Quotes:
"Injecting their brand of jazz with a healthy shot of alternative rock, St. Barbe deliver a slick, fresh take on the genre that brings it straight into the twenty-first century.”

"This band opened for us last night in London and they were unbelievable"
- Dennis Chambers (Mike Stern Band, Santana, Steely Dan)
In support they’ll have vocalist, Tereza Catarov
London-based singer and composer. Having a wide dynamic range of sounds and a varied colour palette, Tereza’s compositions are based on jazz music stylistics with alternative world music hints and an indie soul flavour. Together with Innes Yellowlees (piano), Giovanni Cresseri (bass), Erdogan Cem Evin (guitar) and Floyer Syndenham (drums), this project depicts stories that Tereza has experienced on her journey as a foreign artist in different countries as well as songs which have emerged from her cultural heritage. All of these are expressed through intricate melodies, odd meter time signatures and lyrics which have a major role in her creative process.
