New London Jazz

[jazzy_dave]

There is a new generation of British musicians shaking up the jazz establishment.

This community of musicians grew up in London. They practiced together and learned the blues. Now they’re collaborators, playing alongside each other in dozens of different bands. Their collective story takes us to venues across town, from the back of a Jamaican restaurant in Deptford to the Royal Albert Hall.

UK Jazz is having a moment. Spotify has reported a 108% growth in people under 30 listening to UK Jazz. Shabaka Hutchings, saxophonist and clarinettist, has recently signed to Impulse Records, the home of Coltrane. Global audiences are tuning into London’s jazz musicians.

Moses Boyd - Rye Lane Shuffle

Seed Ensemble - Afronaut

Sons Of Kemet - Play Mass

Enjoy.
