This dual-headliner bill showcases two pillars of modern jazz, bolstering communities fostering the next generation of jazz greats. Shabaka Hutchings is one of the brightest stars in a London jazz scene that's stretching the boundaries of the genre. Sons of Kemet is his project with Tom Skinner, Theon Cross, and Eddie Hick; the lineup features two drummers, a tuba, and Hutchings on saxophone and clarinet. Drummer, bandleader Makaya McCraven's take on jazz is viewed through the lens of hip-hop production, deconstructing and reassembling jazz and soul standards with the ear of a crate-digger. They're joined by L'Rain, a Brooklyn-based songwriter and sound artist with a jazz lineage at the forefront of New York's experimental community, and DJ Lindsey on the decks.
