Bolden.

BOLDEN. | Jazz that moves the room.

BOLDEN. is the UK-based jazz house project of multi-instrumentalist Reuben Barrett, blending the soul of jazz with the rhythm of electronic music. The second album, Who you really are., is out now.

Named in tribute to jazz pioneer Buddy Bolden, the project aims to evolve the jazz tradition rather than replicate it — rhythm-driven production built on Reuben's self-taught versatility across guitar, bass, drums and keys, recorded with a range of collaborators including Catherine Rannus.

Live, BOLDEN. is fluid and high-impact — constant instrument switching, real-time improvisation and reworked arrangements that make every set unique, with Reuben joined by a rotating cast of musicians. Millions of streams, support from editorial playlists including Jazz House and Jazz Club, and a fan-curated playlist, Jazz House Lounge, with over 120,000 listeners.

North American tour, October 2026 — New York, Washington DC, Los Angeles, Toronto, Montreal, Chicago.
