Headphone Highlights

Elmore Judd

Honest Jon's, London

Elmore Judd is the alter ego of one Jesse Hackett and is also the name of the band he leads. Cutting his teeth as a session keyboard player for a few well-known pop-stars, Jesse was also a founding member of Rawdog – the live band that started out backing the legendary UK Hip Hop act Taskforce. Elmore’s debut album Angel Sound was picked up for release by Above the Clouds Recordings and Jesse subsequently signed a deal with Honest Jon's after visiting Mali with Damon Albarn. In the last three years he has visited Africa three times and this really shines through in his Headphone Highlights selection here. As Jesse describes in this interview, the homemade instruments being used by musicians in the Congo have also been inspirational to his recent material on Honest Jon's.
