"a hip, cooking, super-talented trio of players who aren’t even old enough to vote
yet!"
-Artists to watch out for in 2017 and 2018, Jazzwise Magazine
"And Zenel Trio!!! If any1 gives a sh** about my POV this is one of the most
exciting new bands I've seen, lookout!"
- Third Kind Tapes (Brighton Label)
"They deliver, though, in the finest traditions of jazz: memorable tunes that are a
cloak for complex, challenging and thrilling improvisations. Process Z is a bared-
teeth cavalry charge that might have been cooked up by Jimi Hendrix with
advisory input from Darth Vader. Laurence Wilkins’ electronically-modified
trumpet carries the crushing energy of a lightning strike. After this, we’re relieved
to find our limbs still intact."

"The initial, unavoidable, observation I made was their age – this is a trio of
musicians not even old enough to buy a pint at a festival where they’re playing.
The second observation, immediately perceived by the entire crowd, is the
incongruous level of talent these young musicians exhibit. Coasting through
track after track of original material, Noah Stoneman (keys/synth), Lawrence
Wilkins (trumpet) and Zoe Pascal (drums) played as tightly and as comfortably as
any act at Love Supreme. Their calculated and stylish inclusion of electronic
elements throughout the performance was an early reminder that, like all
genres, jazz is still changing."

"I caught a few numbers by the talented teenage trio Zeñel, who were playing on
the Bandstand stage programmed by local (Brighton) jazz club The Verdict. With
an irrepressible drummer, trumpet, keyboards and a hard-working laptop, Zeñel
is a band to watch out for, with a sound both precise and exuberant."
- Love Supreme Review, London Jazz News
“this band put in a great performance of original music. Zeñel would have been
of equal interest to a 60-year-old jazzerati and a 6-year-old child, and everyone
in between.They’re staying true to the tradition of “improvised, social music”
while bringing us a fresh sound."

"A bright future awaits these talented young musicians."
