Poetic, boundary-crossing modern jazz where acoustic lyricism meets electronic texture, classical color, and hip-hop influence.

French-American quartet NO(w) Beauty arrives at Black Cat with a sound that feels cinematic, searching, and deeply human. Their acclaimed debut established them as one of contemporary jazz’s most distinctive new voices, earning honors from Jazz Magazine, Jazz News, Académie Charles Cros, FIP, and the Académie du Jazz.

Their new album, (un)Seen, expands that language with electronic textures, string arrangements, and a collaboration with folk artist Sam Amidon. The result is modern jazz with emotional weight, stylistic freedom, and a strong sense of beauty beneath the surface.
