The Cutting Edge (#CuttingEdge) – 24th January 2026

Mike Chadwick resurrects the Cutting Edge which although leaning heavily into Jazz business, allows for occasional musical excursions across other genres. Simply put, the sound remains fiercely independent and as ever, unlike anything else you’ll hear, elsewhere.

Please feel free to get in touch with Mike with any comments or suggestions you might have; he’ll be more than happy to hear from you: mike@soulandjazz.com or follow him via Instagram, Facebook or Bluesky.

Stereo, not stereotypical®

Enjoy!
