Tenderlonious Album Launch + Mikoudi

“Mind blowing live show! I love this guy and all his ideas” GILLES PETERSON

22a label boss, flautist, saxophonist, producer and DJ, Ed ‘Tenderlonious’ Cawthorne is regarded as one of the leading figures in the London jazz and underground music scene. Running a record label is enough work alone, but Tenderlonious has amassed an armoury of releases that transcend your average UK artist.

His debut ‘Tenderlonious’ live album ‘The Shakedown” gained rave reviews and over 5 million streams worldwide. He has also proven himself to be one of the most versatile musicians in the world, collaborating with Polish jazz band EABS, Italian musician and producer Lorenzo Morresi on their 2022 album “Cosmica Italiana” and for his famous collaboration with the Pakistani band Jaubi that has generated 2 albums and lead to rave reviews from the likes of The Guardian, Pitchfork, and Downbeat.

In 2023 he returns with a new live album 'You Know I Care' and live show, featuring some of his favourite musicians and collaborators.

“Tenderlonious heads up 22a, a label so on-point we could pretty much fill this column entirely with his music and artists from the 22a roster” CLASH
