The Cinematic Orchestra

Ninja Tune, London

The Cinematic Orchestra was formed by Jason Swinscoe in 1999. At the time Jay was an employee at Ninja Tune in South London but in his spare time had begun putting together the first Cinematic Orchestra album. Gathering a group of open-minded jazz musicians, Jay delivered the debut album 'Motion' that blew heads across the world. Epic tracks like 'Ode To The Big Sea' and 'Night Of The Iguana' emphasized the 'Cinematic' in The Cinematic Orchestra and the band haven't looked back since. The follow-up longplayer 'Every Day' displayed a more classic, orchestral tone, with guest vocals from soul jazz legend Fontella Bass and UK hip hop don Roots Manuva taking the band’s sound to a whole new level. Touring extensively around the world the group gained a fearsome live reputation, combining live jazz experimentation with electronics and turntablism in a fresh and exciting way. Further albums and great success have followed, including a soundtrack to the 1929 Russian silent film 'Man With A Movie Camera' and the band’s third official studio album 'Ma Fleur', released in 2007. In this Fireside Chat Jay talks us through his and The Cinematic Orchestra's incredible career.
