Video of the Day: Wild Card share ‘Aleppo Express’ featuring Marcus Strickland

Led by French guitarist Clement Regert, hard-grooving trio Wild Card also feature drummer Sophie Allloway and Hammond organist Andrew Noble, and have built a fine reputation for their high energy live shows that often feature a wide array of talented jazz names from across the London scene. Here they share a new original track, ‘Aleppo Express’, written by Clement and featuring NYC Blue Note-signed Grammy-nominated saxophonist Marcus Strickland as a special guest. The track is released on 24 March 2021.

Recorded remotely but expertly blended – the track was inspired by the powerful and moving story of Clement's friend (and barber), Armud, who escaped the war that was raging in Syria to travel illegally to London on his own aged just 19 years old. Watch the video below.
