©2020 Stevie J Jones and Jules Maxwell
Description
Crossjam is a daily music improvisation between Stevie J Jones and Jules Maxwell, recorded every lunchtime at their little workspace in Brockley Cross, London.
Jules and Stevie J grew up in a Northern Irish coastal town called Bangor and have known each other for 30 years. Between them, they have played with a host of bands and artists including Brian Eno, Dead Can Dance and AIR as well as creating soundtracks for shows at The Royal Opera House and Shakepeare’s Globe Theatre.
Crossjam is an opportunity for them to set aside their ongoing individual projects for about ten minutes each day and make some music with each other. The recordings are raw and unedited, published every weekday afternoon.

Reverse
Infinite guitar with random note selections and drone synth descending. Ethereal, at times dissonant but chance occasionally delivers a degree of glory. Dismissed by Stevie J at the end.
Sympathetic rasping drone strings and acoustic guitar
Jules starts on the baglama, changing to organ halfway through. Stevie J on spacey guitars.
Driven electric piano and guitar blues workout. Stevie's amp explodes bringing things to a short and not-so-sweet conclusion.
One of our favourites yet. Epic. SH-101, distorted keyboard solo and huge texture guitar. 4 unexpectedly amazing chords at the end.
Accordion and space guitar. Sunset on the Adriatic.
For Brendan. Droning synth tambura, electric piano and crystals guitar.
One for Big Ken. Stevie J opts for a clean guitar sound with no effects for once, and Jules stays chilled with the electric piano.
On the day that our "Fragments from The Cross, Vol. 1" NFT sells out, we settle into an ambient piece of harmonizer electric guitar, Rhodes piano and synth.
After a stressful day getting our release announcement for "Fragments from The Cross, Vol. 2" out, we relax into a chilled, simple jam featuring Mani Maxwell on harmonium, Jules on electric piano and Stevie J on spacey guitar.
An oriental scent drifts into this spacey arpeggiated piece. Stevie J Jones on Jupiter 8, Jules Maxwell on electric piano and talky growly synth. Shimmering.
As Jules says at the end, "a stallion". 9/8 thing. Hard to hang on to but some great moments. Rolling, kicking, SH-101, guitar, synth and amped electric piano.
We are delighted to welcome Foy Vance as our special guest on drums and organ. We just agreed F#m, 175bpm, 5 minutes. We did ours. He did his. And we put them together to make this...
Jules and Stevie J explore their 80s side... Juno 60, SH-101, piano and organ, and of course, masses of Blade Runner type reverb.
A chilled bluesy number with spacey guitar and moody organ
"Raw and unedited..." as proved by the ending. Guitar, organ and electric piano.
Lighting things up a bit with a driving groove inspired by Bitches Brew... Jules on fire on the Rhodes, SH-101 bass and delay guitar.
A minimal circular chord progression. Spacey guitar, electric piano and organ.
Start on Eb and see what happens.
Morse code SH-101. Persia. Space guitars.
