“Chip Wickham’s music is the sound of jazz with soul and purpose.” - Fasching
Saxophonist, flautist and composer Chip Wickham casts a formidable shadow across the UK jazz landscape. Originally from Brighton, Chip Wickham first came to prominence in the UK breakbeat scene playing with the likes of Nightmares On Wax and Graham Massey. But at heart Chip has always been a jazz musician (he played on Matthew Halsall’s debut album ‘Sending My Love’ in 2008 beginning a relationship with Gondwana Records that now spans 17 years) and now dividing his time between the UK, Spain and the Middle-East, he has made a name for himself with a series of beautifully crafted solo albums that draw equally on hard swinging spiritual jazz, the classic sounds of 60s British jazz and the more contemporary sounds of artists such as Jazzanova, The Cinematic Orchestra, and Nicola Conte.
Welcome to the roster, Chip Wickham ✨⭐️
Chip Wickham on the listening session.

The listening event was a very important part of the album’s launch.
We got to hear real-time reactions from listeners who are deeply engaged with music — the same kind of enthusiasm we bring to it.
It created a space to talk openly about the album and how it came to life.
Discussing the reality and joy of making the record with both the band and the audience was a genuinely special experience.
We ended up listening to the album twice through, with the chat still flowing.
Vinyl Junkies has a great formula — connecting fans, music, and record stores in a natural, organic way.
It’s entertaining, informative — the sweet spot.

We premiered this record together.
Artists and label in the room.
No skips. No noise. Just listening.
The room locked in fast.
Chat lit up.
That’s always the tell.
This one took us places.

Sunday night y’all! This Sunday come join us live streaming the new album The Karman Line by the Outer Worlds Jazz Ensemble.

Have it on to soundtrack your beautiful (almost summer like) evening or go as far as getting involved in the chat. It’ll be a very social gathering. As well as myself we’ll be joined by band members like @chipwickham and @rebel_elements . Come join.
Top of all the jazz on @bandcamp !!! Go on Outer Worlds Jazz Ensemble. What a lovely thing to see. If anyone was thinking of preordering to get yourself a special bonus track that won’t be available to buy/stream/listen to after release, Just to download to your own private collections, then now’s the time. It will stop being available as soon as the album is released. Coloured vinyl stock also low. Don’t snooze on good music made by reel people. (See what I did there?) #atarecords #leeds #analog
