}}Get the Blessing (previously known as the Blessing) are a jazz rock quartet based in Bristol, England.[1] The band formed in 2000 when Jim Barr (bass guitar) and Clive Deamer (drums), who had played with Portishead, joined Jake McMurchie (saxophone) and Pete Judge (trumpet) over their appreciation of Ornette Coleman.[1]

Get the Blessing have released six albums; their debut All is Yes won best album at the 2008 BBC Jazz Awards.[2] Their album Bristopia was released in 2018.

Style

Get the Blessing combines jazz and rock.[1][3][4][5] Most of their songs are instrumental, although there have been guest singers such as Tammy Payne on "The Unnameable" and "Music Style Product" and Deamer on "Bugs in Amber". For promotional pictures and record covers, they often cover their heads with orange cellophane.[5] The Guardian wrote that the band's music contains "horn laments and full-on free thrashes".[6] The Times described their live performances have been described as "technically audacious, mysterious and droll".[5]
