Jon returns with his 4th Long Player entitled “14” representing the number of tracks contained within.
From hip hop to rock, jazz, soul and breakbeat, “14” is the cleanest piece of work from Mr Kennedy to date. With all the characteristic melodies and constructions of Jon’s own sound and an injection of the new.

Jon has been touring Europe with his band testing the new tracks out in it’s live format to great effect. Rocking crowds of 200 to 4000 people at venues and festivals from East to West for the past 7 months. Encore’s were demanded and return visits secured. Be sure to look out for Jon’s 4 piece live outfit in a town near you!

Working closely with Jon for a many years now you can’t be told enough what a musically talented hard working man he is and is passionately expressed in his compositions. His music is love. Its emotional, touching, crisp and incredibly refreshing. If you have been following this young man, then there is nothing more to say. You already know and if by chance you don't and are curious check out his highly recommended past full 4 lengths, "We're just waiting for you now" (Tru Thoughts), "Take My Drum to England" (GrandCentral), "Useless Wooden Toys" (GrandCentral) and now most importantly his forthcoming album "14" (Organik Recordings).

The first instalment from the forthcoming Long Player “14” came in the shape of a 7” with the track “Live Test” written soley for use with his band ”Live Test” made the final cut onto the LP due to its demand with crowds and DJ’s alike.

"jon dear chap... the record is fantasic! In an era where everyone is sharing music for free, jon kennedy reminds us why we love vinyl! Incredible artwork, gatefold sleeve with white vinyl that plays on 45. The tracks span everything we've come to love in Jon's music.. soulful, funky, heavy drum breaks and all the elements that make a feel good record. Classy stuff that will certainly be a regular feature in my future shows."

Aldo Vanucci ( recording artist / various press )
"Previous albums have set a high standard for him to follow, and thankfully he's smashed those and then some."

Richie Phoe ( recording artists )
"dope beats, heavy production and some serious featured artists, all laid down on some snazzy white vinyl"

"This latest outting by Jon Kennedy and friends mixes live instruments, DJ cuts, and soulful vocals for a eclectric, mostly downtempo trip that is at times evocative, at times funky.
Will definately give it radio spins"
