Adjunct Ensemble

Composer and producer Jamie Thompson’s Adjunct Ensemble is a band with two critically acclaimed releases to its name; 2023’s ‘Sovereign Bodies / Ritual Taxonomy’ (Diatribe Records), a hugely expansive anti-opera of jazz-punk, turntablism, spoken word, and glitching electronics; and H’abits of Assembly: Live at Café OTO’ (Touch Sensitive Records), capturing their fiery debut at London Jazz Festival in 2024.

A sextet of internationally acclaimed artists, Adjunct Ensemble features poet Felispeaks, drummer Steve Davis, saxophonist Sam Comerford, bassist John Pope, visual artist Conan McIvor, and is led by Jamie Thompson on piano and electronics.
