Jacob’s Ladder
James Cox - Guitar/compositions, Daisy Anderson - Flute, Yaryna Veresotska - Trumpet, Benedict Stephens - Double Bass and Phil Thompson - Drums. The original music performed by the group is all composed by James Cox and draws inspiration from his homelife growing up in the broad horizons, and open skies of the county of Suffolk in the UK. Compositional influences draw from his time at college but also further back to his inherited music taste from friends and family.
