Britain's What's On Event Guide
Solomon Gundy Band, Ed Hogben + more tba
The Solomon Gundy Band fuses jazz, electronica, and Afro-diasporic rhythms, creating a vibrant and haunting sound that combines virtuosity with working-class grit. Their music is as flavourful as the Jamaican dish they are named after. Solomon Gundy is a spicy Jamaican pickled Herring paste usually served with crackers as an appetizer or hors d’oeuvre. The term is originally from the French word salmigondis, which refers to a disparate assembly of things, ideas, or people forming an incoherent whole. Led by visionary trumpeter and UK jazz catalyst Sean Corby and co-composed with UK Latin jazz heavyweight Jonny Enright, their music channels the spirit of influential artists such as Miles Davis, Kahil El’Zabar, Rob Mazurek, Papo Vazquez, Donald Byrd, and Roots Radics. Produced by Loose Tubes/Freak Power maverick Ashley Slater and two-time Grammy and Juno nominated electronic artist/producer Carmen Rizzo, their debut album, 'Hancestry,' features a guest appearance from UK jazz legend Courtney Pine and showcases a remarkable array of generational talent. With tracks that include the words of community activist Ismahil Blaigrove and author James Baldwin, along with dedications to Leon Forrest and Zora Neale Hurston, this album presents conscious sound system jazz for the 21st century.
