Part of the London Jazz Festival, Sonic Navigation is a new project, conceived by
Finn Peters, which aims to explore the lineage of improvised music referencing
those 60’s and 70’s jazz recordings that influence live hip-hop, spoken word
and contemporary jazz.
The Grip
This playful, freewheeling and energetic trio is comprised of three of Europe’s
most in demand and respected jazz musicians. Joining Finn Peters on flutes
and sax, we have the highly individual playing of Oren Marshall (Sons of Kemet)
on tuba and Tom Skinner (Melt Yourself Down, Owiny Sigoma Band) on drums.
"…one of the city's hottest propositions. Their debut album Celebrate, out now on
Slowfoot Records, takes the group through knotty free-bop, deep blues and Middle
Eastern drones in a deft mix of free playing and compositional ingenuity."
[The Quietus]
CoN & KwAkE
Hip-hop duo who have recently performed alongside the likes of Mos Def & MF
Doom. MC Confucius is the cerebral lyricist rapping with Kwake Bass on drums,
samples and production.
Micachu -
DJ sets from a highly creative and original musician & composer (Micachu & the
Shapes) who knows no musical boundaries. ‘Micachu is so far ahead of the game
it hurts’ [The Collapse Board]
