Â鶹ԼÅÄ

Jumoké Fashola presents live music from up-and-coming drummer, Myele Manzanza, recorded on the J to Z Presents stage at the Barbican as a part of the London Jazz Festival last year. Born in New Zealand, the son of a Congolese master percussionist, and now based in London, Myele has worked with Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, Marcus Strickland and Theo Parrish and is widely recognised for his ingenuity and expression. Here he plays music from his latest releases, Crisis & Opportunity. Vols 1 and 2, blending jazz, hip-hop, dance music and more.

Also in the programme, we hear from Â鶹ԼÅÄ Jazz Award-winning and Mercury-nominated pianist and organist Kit Downes ahead of the release of his new trio album, Vermillion, on ECM Records. Kit shares some of the music that has inspired and shaped his playing, including a dream-like, experimental jazz track by Swedish saxophonist Otis Sandsjö.
