It is in this state of mind that they are starting the Nice Swan series, which will unveil every month a single intended to highlight a young artist in the making, without genre limits. Originally from South London, it is the jazz musician, Jelly Cleaver who starts the series with the single \u201cFeeling fine\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div><iframe width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" allow=\"autoplay\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/803870740&#038;color=%23ff5500&#038;auto_play=false&#038;hide_related=false&#038;show_comments=true&#038;show_user=true&#038;show_reposts=false&#038;show_teaser=true\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe><div style=\"font-size: 10px; color: #cccccc;line-break: anywhere;word-break: normal;overflow: hidden;white-space: nowrap;text-overflow: ellipsis; font-family: Interstate,Lucida Grande,Lucida Sans Unicode,Lucida Sans,Garuda,Verdana,Tahoma,sans-serif;font-weight: 100;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/niceswanrecords\" title=\"Nice Swan Records\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nice Swan Records<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/niceswanrecords\/jelly-cleaver-ft-shunaji-maddy-coombs-feeling-fine\" title=\"Jelly Cleaver Ft Shunaji &#038; Maddy Coombs - Feeling Fine\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jelly Cleaver Ft Shunaji &#038; Maddy Coombs &#8211; Feeling Fine<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This self-taught multi-instrumentalist, who has been playing guitar since a young age, let herself be influenced by many worlds before turning to jazz, while keeping a hip-hop background and letting her previous experiences speak for themselves, between punk band and African percussion choir. The single takes up the suggestive bass line of her song \u201cAngela\u201d from her album&nbsp;<em>The dream jazz manifesto<\/em>. She enriches it with a few chords to re-imagine it as an old school hip-hop track imbued with soul, inviting the rapper Shunaji \u2013 spotted by Gilles Peterson \u2013 and the saxophonist Maddy Coombs. A real ray of sunshine in these difficult times, \u201cFeeling fine\u201d opens a window on the beautiful summer days while revealing the beatmaker talents of Jelly Cleaver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-very-dark-gray-color\">The single is available since April 28th.
