Fresh from a triumphant 2025, crowned by an AIM ‘Breakthrough Artist’ win and a sold-out KOKO headline, corto.alto is a formidable force in global music. The moniker of Glasgow-based multi-instrumentalist and producer Liam Shortall, the project is a masterclass in subverting expectations.
Shortall’s sound is a high-octane collision of his Royal Conservatoire training and Glasgow’s fertile underground scene. It’s where jazz improvisation meets the heavy pulse of club culture, hip-hop, and soul. Following his Mercury Prize-nominated debut Bad With Names and the innovative 30/108 project, Shortall continues to push boundaries with new releases like ‘THIEF’ and the Mick Jenkins collaboration, ‘WHODIS’.
Renowned for a blistering live show that sees Shortall pivot between bass, trombone, and electronics, the corto.alto band has captivated audiences from Montreal Jazz Fest to the Barrowlands. This UK and EU tour marks the next frontier for one of the most vital live acts in modern music.
