A lively blend of world jazz, folk, and Caribbean grooves that offers a fresh listening experience.

Led by composer, musician and visionary James Lascelles, Talking Spirits is less a band and more a musical convergence — a collective of world-class artists whose combined experience reads like a hall of fame of modern music. Between them, members of Talking Spirits have performed, recorded, and collaborated with an astonishing roster of legends: from the avant-garde genius of Frank Zappa to the pioneering violinist L. Shankar; from rock theatricality with Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel to the soulful songwriting of Joan Armatrading.

It’s a network of influence that spans continents, genres, and generations — yet somehow converges in a single, unexpected place.
