Marquis Hill - 15 April
For those looking for a mix of jazz, R&B and hip-hop
Trumpeter Marquis Hill brings jazz into the present. Drawing on the old jazz tradition of musicians performing each other’s music, Hill invited fellow musicians to write a piece especially for him. The result combines post-bop and modern jazz with influences from R&B and hip-hop, performed by a strong live band.
New Jazz Underground - 3 May
For those who get viral jazz jams in their YouTube algorithm
American trio New Jazz Underground drew millions of viewers with living room jams on YouTube, building a reputation that now brings them to Europe on tour. Their music blends hard bop, hip-hop and modern soul. The step from screen to stage is a small one, and live it sounds a whole lot better.
