These guys are amazing and the bass player is smokin'. Searched and didn't see anything about them.

‘Geordie optimism is this rigorous spirit of hard graft’: Newcastle jazz band Knats break out of the north-south divide
While their London peers thrived, Knats faced dwindling funding. But after a Proms appearance and as they release a new album produced by Black Midi’s Geordie Greep, their confidence is high
Interesting, they just came across another feed since I'm a Nadine Shah fan. Not really my thing, but hot 
players for sure.
players for sure.
There was another thread here about the bass player and them, and through that(also mentioned here) I learned that they have a patron in Geordie Greep, once of Black Midi, who I’m a big fan of. These guys sorta kinda remind me of Soft Machine, but far more real jazz. Sax player is also impressive.

Great to learn about these guys. And to see a Michael Giles reference.
At my age, there is more good music than I will ever know about or get to listen to.

Heh, I expected something far more Crimsonesque after the intro!
Still, great stuff… Thanks OP for sharing.
They say you're not a true fan of the band unless you know the bassist's name, and the video description says his name's Stan Woodward.
I guess my previous post makes me a Stan stan then.
