The New Emancipation - T964154774The New Emancipation tour draws its inspiration from 19th century work songs and early blues, exploring the modern resonances of the emancipation story. From debt/wage slavery, to creative oppression in the music industry and ideas of race in a post-Obama age, it combines this rich musical inheritance and revisits it with stellar jazz ensemble and modern hip hop production. Citing influences including Duke Ellington, Madlib and Frederick Delius, the piece is both an ode and polemic. | |

Soweto Kinch Evokes the Spirit of Joe Harriott - T660819580The legacy of saxophonist Joe Harriott has been profound and lasting. Arriving in London from his native Jamaica in 1951 he embraced the London bebop scene before creating a form of free jazz in the late 1950s that paved the way for the profound changes that characterised jazz in the 1960s and beyond. His fiercely independent spirit continues to fire successive generations, explored by one of today's most inventive composer/performers, fellow saxophonist and rapper Soweto Kinch, last heard at Southbank Centre launching his brilliant CD The New Emancipation. | |
