Most recently, Led Bib has been working on their latest album to be released on Rare Noise Records in January 2017. To accompany their appearance at Jazzahead! 2016, there will also be a 3-track EP release. Other recent highlights include a collaboration with Aldeburgh Young Musicians at London Jazz Festival, a recent residency at London’s legendary Vortex Jazz Club, supporting Pharoah Sanders at the Jazz Cafe during his residency, and a one hour special about Led Bib on the ORF, the Austrian National Broadcaster.
