Mammal Hands is a trio consisting of saxophonist Jordan Smart, pianist Nick Smart, and drummer/percussionist Jesse Barrett. They have created a unique sound by blending electronic, contemporary classical, world, folk, and jazz music. Influenced by artists such as Pharoah Sanders, Steve Reich, and Sirishkumar Manji.
Their refreshing originality stems from their diverse range of influences. Mammal Hands draws inspiration from various genres including electronic music, contemporary classical compositions, world music, folk tunes and jazz melodies.
With saxophonist Jordan Smart leading the way on his instrument while pianist Nick Smart provides harmonious accompaniment and drummer/percussionist Jesse Barrett sets the rhythm; Mammal Hands' music resonates with audiences worldwide.

Captivating, ethereal and majestic, Mammal Hands (saxophonist Jordan Smart, pianist Nick Smart and drummer and percussionist Jesse Barrett) has carved out a refreshingly original sound from a disparate array of influences: drawing on spiritual jazz, north Indian, folk and classical music to create something inimitably their own. Hailing from Norwich, one of Britain's most isolated and most easterly cities, they have forged their own path away from the musical mainstream and their unique sound grew out of long improvised rehearsals. All three members contibute equally to the writing process: one that favours the creation of a powerful group dynamic over individual solos. Their records are entrancing and beautiful affairs, while their hypnotic live shows have seen them hailed as one of the most exciting bands in Europe as they push their unique line-up to the outer limits of its possibilities.
