There's no doubt that the London Jazz scene has been taking off over the last few years, between Shabaka's several bands (I personally would have highlighted the Ancestors, or the Comet is Coming over Kemet, but hey all good), Idris Rahman's work with Ill Considered & Wildflower, Yazz Ahmed's future-arabian sounds, Alfa-Mist throwing it back to old-school hip-hop (but, you know... with actual jazz instead of samples), Binker and Moses' three-hour long space-jams, and a bunch I'm sure I'm forgetting. Looking forward to listening to this later.
The writer Tej Adeleye meets the new generation of British musicians shaking up the jazz establishment.
This community of musicians grew up in London. They practiced together and learned the blues. Now they’re collaborators, playing alongside each other in dozens of different bands. Their collective story takes us to venues across town, from the back of a Jamaican restaurant in Deptford to the Royal Albert Hall.
