Annual trade fair, exhibition, and festival jazzahead! is one of the international jazz community's most important events. Hosted in Bremen, Germany, jazzahead! brings together musicians, bookers, agents, organizers, jazz experts, and music enthusiasts at the world's largest jazz event. In 2024, jazzahead! paid special attention to the jazz scene of the Netherlands and invited over forty jazz acts to perform over the course of three days. Among the artists presenting themselves at jazzahead! 2024 is Glasgow-based tenor saxophonist Matt Carmichael. A distinctive and influential figure on the vibrant Scottish jazz scene, The Scotsman has praised Carmichael for developing an exciting Scottish style of his own. At jazzahead!, Carmichael presents his album 'Dancing with Embers', a collection of wordless songs with quiet, emotive melodies that blossomed into big cinematic climaxes (Snack magazine). Matt Carmichael (saxophone) is joined by Fergus McCreadie (piano), Charlie Stewart (violin), Ali Watson (double bass), and Stephen Henderson (drums).
