The Legend of Mike Smith

Award-winning jazz and hip hop star Soweto Kinch presents a staged performance of his latest album, with jazz improvisation, a driving hip hop score and choreography from Jonzi D. Inspired by The Seven Deadly Sins and Dante's Inferno, Soweto tells the story of Mike Smith, a young, aspiring MC caught in a world of temptation where the boundaries of reality and fantasy collide. An alto-saxophonist and MC, Soweto Kinch is one of the most exciting and versatile young musicians in both the British jazz and hip hop scenes.
