Pieces of a Man: The Gil Scott-Heron Project is a celebration of the life and legacy of the legendary American soul and jazz poet, musician, and author. Under the musical direction of The Invisible's Dave Okumu, guest vocal artists including Jamie Woon, Kwabs, Loyle Carner, Gwilym Gold and many more, will recast Gil Scott-Heron's music in contemporary soul, funk and hip hop.

Produced in association with Roundhouse and XL Recordings, this event is the culmination of a day of talks, screenings and performances, which will take place at the Roundhouse on Sunday 13 March.
