Soweto Kinch

Event Description

“Soweto Kinch delivers a scalding display of post-Coleman alto-sax improvising, a virtuosic and intelligent exposition of political rap...a visually riveting event!” - The Guardian

An award-winning performer equally adept as an alto saxophonist and rapper, Britain’s Soweto Kinch is currently riding the buzz from his 2012 hit, "The Legend of Mike Smith," a two-disc concept album that combines rap, spoken word, electronics and raw, high-energy jazz. With raps that are inventive and articulate, and ragingly powerful jazz improvisations backing them up, Kinch is unforgettable live – and that’s before he does his vocal freestyling! Neil Charles double bass and Nick Jurd double bass and Shaney Forbes drums
