Very privileged to be working with two legends of African jazz this last month. Have just come off a week on the road depping in the wonderful Heliocentrics band with the father of Ethio-Jazz, Mulatu Astatke. Had an absolute ball, with concerts in Thessaloniki and Athens going down a storm – Mulatu clearly has something of a cult following. And on Monday, it’s back at the Vortex, for a celebration of Louis Moholo-Moholo’s 70th birthday. I’m super excited to be joining Louis’ ‘Unit’ – with Jason Yarde and Ntshuks Bonga (saxophones), Francine Luce (vocals), John Edwards (bass), and of course maestro himself at the helm. Please come along to celebrate – it goes without saying that Louis is one of THE great drummers in our music, so let’s make it a great night!
