Jazz at St John's: Soweto Kinch

St John's is delighted to welcome the alto-saxophonist and MC, Soweto Kinch, for an evening of jazz, hip hop and spoken word. Based on recordings by the Tanzania's Msindaba Jazz Band, Taarab folk music and new works by Soweto, it’s a meeting of musical worlds connected by improvisation and technology. Performing with saxophones, the Roland SP404 drum machine, and a digital woodwind instrument called an Aerophone it brings ancient sounds together with jazz and cutting edge sampling to create something profoundly new.
