Soweto Kinch

Part 1, Tales of the Towerblock, revealed Soweto Kinch as both a brilliant MC and saxophonist. In launching Part 2 - Basement Fables - Kinch promises even more of his dynamic and engaging blend of hip-hop and jazz.

Press reviews and comments

'Saxophonist Soweto Kinch is full of fire and ideas that speak directly to people who rarely encounter jazz.'

The Guardian

'Mr Kinch demonstrates what England has to teach us about narrative hip hop [and] has one of the best sounding new jazz groups I've heard lately.'

The New York Times

What makes Soweto Kinch part of our Jerwood Jazz Generation?

'I have wanted to have Soweto back since he performed as a Jerwood Rising Star in the very first year of the scheme. He will be here performing material from his Basement Fables, Part Two of the jazz/hip hop project A Life in the Day of B19.'

Tony Dudley-Evans

Where have you seen him before?

Soweto was also one of the first group of Jerwood Rising Stars in 2002 when he performed with his trio.
