Losing “Freeness” and especially “J-to-Z” is a wrench. But it’s five hours of weekday jazz programming being added. But it’s at 1130pm at night. But do people listen on broadcast or use online/app catch-up nowadays? It was too big. Jazz was too big.

Hi, this may well be an "of course I've heard this album already you fool" recommendation but just in case you haven't, I wonder if you might enjoy White Juju by Soweto Kinch. Hope you're having a nice day :)

No I’ve never heard that one! I’ll check it out though

Femi Temowo // From Akure to Soweto

The band on stage has barely played together but it's hard to tell. That's because the groove emanating from their instruments sounds too in sync and in time. In fact, had it not been for the confession of tonight's bandleader, Femi Temowo, not many in attendance would be privy to that anecdote. For today's multi-band musicians, spur-of-the-moment sets must be the standard. For the audience, it's a fascinating musical roulette wheel.

It's another episode of jazz re:freshed, one of London's longest-running live jazz and funk outlets and it's the first time forty5sixty has ventured to the platform's new home at Ninety One Living Room on Brick Lane.

It's a band featuring the likes of Sam Crowe (of Giants Are Real) on keys, the youthful LOX in the drummer's seat, and Moses Olukayode on talking and sakara drum duties, adding to Temowo's superb guitar work. Tonight's set reads like an ode to his place of birth, Akure in the southwest of Nigeria. Intertwining lyrics in English and Yoruba, Femi takes the audience back to his West African upbringing with songs like 'Abeg Jare', 'Ore' (Friend), and 'Bola'.

Having moved to London aged, Temowo was late to pick up the guitar at 17, and remarkably, his dedication to the craft saw him start playing professionally just four years later. Stints with saxophonist Soweto Kinch's quartet and as a session guitarist for an array of global artists whetted the appetite for Temowo's own compositions which arrived in due course. Mixing slick and melodic guitar chords, Temowo slides effortlessly between afrobeat, Nigerian highlife folk music, and fújì - a popular Yoruba musical genre.

Tonight represents new horizons for Femi Temowo and jazz re:freshed. New locations and new directions but always landing in the right pocket.

Lost the motivation to do anything bass-related for about a month, but have rediscovered my love for playing! Marking my return from this ‘hiatus’ with a sax and bass transcription of ‘Never Ending’ by Soweto Kinch :)

Soweto Kinch - March of the Unicorns (Live) - a taste of the forthcoming recording of White Juju with the London Symphony Orchestra

Fri 19 Nov 2021 7.30pm - 8.55pm Barbican Hall, London Soweto Kinch White Juju (world premiere)*

Lee Reynolds conductor Soweto Kinch saxophone & vocals London Symphony Orchestra

The world premiere of Soweto Kinch’s new work for jazz quartet and chamber orchestra, written in response to the Black Lives Matter movement, Black British history and the past 18 months of lockdown.

Beginning with the deafening silence of quarantine in 2020, it conjures sounds such as a bird call in Central Park, and the statue of a slaver crashing into Bristol’s River Avon, interwoven with Kinch’s barbed, incisive lyrics. The piece is deliberately danceable and intentionally seeks to subvert expectations of orchestral music.

Kinch’s music melds his distinct approach to jazz and hip hop with classical music: drawing broad inspiration from European folklore, the African Diaspora and divisive national myths to create a uniquely contemporary tone poem. In the Guardian's 2019 review of Kinch’s The Black Peril, commissioned and performed with the LSO, they found that his music played ‘like a swirling montage, an effort to resist the linear narration of history’.
