Live music from trumpeter Mark Kavuma, plus drummer Nate Smith shares his inspirations.

Kevin Le Gendre presents concert highlights from dynamic trumpeter Mark Kavuma, a master of hard bop and a key part of the UK jazz community. Recorded live on the J to Z Presents stage at the London Jazz Festival 2021 with his band The Banger Factory, Mark performs tracks from his soulful latest album β€˜Arashi No Ato’, channelling the likes of Art Blakey and Lee Morgan.
