Description
Join BBC 6 Music DJ Gilles Peterson to get a glimpse at the future of Jazz, with a specially curated evening of artists that will take apart your preconceptions of what Jazz even means.
Guesting on Kendrick Lamar records, touring with Snoop Dog, and putting out albums on Flying Lotus’s Brainfeeder label, Kamasi Washington takes Jazz from the shelf of relics and makes it into something unexpected and dangerous again.
Performing here as his London debut, following the release on Brainfeeder of his kaleidoscopic record The Epic, his blistering sax and luscious orchestrations on the one hand steeped in jazz tradition, while at the same time pushing in new directions.
Closer to home, but equally at the cutting edge, Manchester trio GoGo Penguin - newly signed to Blue Note – take a spin in a different direction, collaborating with the brilliant choreographer Lynne Page to create a very contemporary response to the 80s phenomenon of Jazz dance – the underground movement that ruled the dance floors of the UK’s club culture.
