Ishmael Ensemble is a British jazz collective based in Bristol led by saxophonist and producer Pete Cunningham.

Their debut album, ‘A State of Flow’, was released in 2019. The album touches on various styles of jazz, stirring ambient invocations, club-ready percussive workouts, spiralling grooves & hazy psychedelic electronica.

The group's follow up record 'Visions of Light' saw them further blur the lines between Jazz & Electronic music.
