At CTJazzFest this weekend? Here are three acts you can't miss.
Alfa Mist experiments with the jazz sound and makes it a little more accessible to his fellow youngsters.
Given that jazz can be an isolating genre with connoisseurs safe-guarding it from lawless innovation, new artists who fuse the essence of jazz with something like hip-hop tend to intrigue me. Locally I would suggest you look out for punk rockers BCUC, the Grammy award-winning Soweto Gospel Choir and legends Steve Kekana and Don Laka. And let’s not forget #Trending’s favourite, Shekinah. But here are some visitors who you should pay a visit to at the festival.
This saxophonist’s EP, When We Are, came out last year and consists of only four tracks, but all of them make for easy and fun listening. Something about the clean sound of the piano keys evokes a sense of celebration on the title song. Her album, Nubya’s 5ive , is almost as short as the EP, but her songs are lengthy movements in which she attempts more crossover jazz with strong hints of a soul influence. This is aptly demonstrated with her opening song, Lost Kingdoms.
