Founded in 2017, Ill Considered is a prolific British jazz group that creates freely improvised music. The groove-oriented outfit was formed by drummer Emre Ramazanoglu, saxophonist/clarinetist Idris Rahman, bassist Leon Brichard, and percussionist Yahael Camara-Onono, who would soon be replaced by Satin Singh. Each of the members had previously worked with a variety of some of the UK’s most popular rock, pop, and jazz artists but Ill Considered was a musical vessel in which they were able to express themselves more freely. In 2017 and 2018, the band released nine albums, most of which were numbered - Ill Considered, Ill Considered 3, Ill Considered 4, etc. – mixed with a few live releases and a holiday release entitled An Ill Considered Christmas. In 2019, the band only released on album: Ill Considered 8. With the departure of bassist Leon Brichard in 2020, they replaced him with Liran Donin and released two albums: 9 – East/West and 10 – The Stroke.
