sons of kemet“I strongly urge you to go and see this band live”
– Gilles Peterson Sons Of Kemet are born of many vital elements – including a name that nods to ancient Egyptian culture, and a line-up that comprises some of the most progressive 21st-century talents in British jazz and beyond. Band-leader, composer and sax and clarinet don Shabaka Hutchings (himself named after a Nubian pharaoh-philosopher) brings together his fiery vision alongside Tom Skinner and Eddie Hick (forming a dynamo duo on drums here) and latest addition Theon Cross on tuba. “Their performances landing on an unsuspecting crowd like a petrol bomb on seasoned timber” - The Arts Desk Line up: Shabaka Hutchings – Saxophone / Clarinet Theon Cross– Tuba Tom Skinner – Drums Eddie Hick – Drums |
