About this Event
Over the last decade Mark Kavuma has established himself as a key player in London's rapidly expanding jazz scene. Firmly rooted in the hard bop tradition, Mark infuses this indelible musical movement with the energy, attidue, and swagger of a new generation of creators. Musically he has a unique and dinstinctive sound on the trumpet and an assured, finely crafted and personal approach to the instrument.
He has released two albums, Kavuma (2018), voted among the best albums of the year by Downbeat magazine and The Banger Factory (2019).
A gifted educator and inspirational creative enabler, Mark is an associate Music Leader for the Tomorrow's Warriors programme, and is also involved in their professional performance ensembles, including the acclaimed Nu Civilisation Orchestra, and Jazz Jamaica.
