Following the success of “Life stories”, critically acclaimed Clément Régert's Wild Card have recorded their new album featuring a signature blend of tuneful numbers with a wide variety of hard-bop, Afro/Samba & raw funk grooves that has made them so popular on the UK Jazz scene in the last few years.

The New Wild Card album “Beast from the East” is the fruit of 3 recording sessions over the past 2 years: 2x recording sessions at Eastcote studios and 1x recording session for SoulandJazzLive tv in partnership with Sennheiser.

They have been joined for those occasions by friends and prestigious special guests:

• Regulars of the Wild Card line ups, multi-award winner, saxophonist Denys Baptiste (McCoy Tyner), Trumpet virtuoso Graeme Flowers (Manu Katche) and fiery alto saxophonist Jim Knight (CeeLo Green).
