Live from the London Jazz Festival

Exclusive sets from Christian Sands, Ms Maurice, Romarna Campbell and Ant Law

Jumok茅 Fashola presents a special live edition of J to Z from the opening night of the EFG London Jazz Festival, with sets from some of the most exciting young players on the bill.

Leading the line-up is American piano star Christian Sands and his trio. Since his emergence in the 2000s, Sands has become a key figure on the international circuit, known for his blistering energy and virtuosity. In his teens he was mentored by the late great Billy Taylor and he鈥檚 since collaborated with Wynton Marsalis, Gregory Porter and Christian McBride, as the first-call pianist in McBride鈥檚 own trio. Here he performs music from his latest album, Be Water.

Joining him on stage at Pizza Express jazz club in Holborn are three UK talents. Dynamic trumpeter Sheila Maurice-Grey AKA Ms Maurice opens the show with a groove-laden set. Best known for her work with KOKOROKO, N茅rija and Little Simz, her contemporary London sound has echoes of 70s fusion with 鈥渁 touch of West African sonic seasoning鈥. Gifted drummer, composer and producer Romarna Campbell proves she鈥檚 one to watch with music that takes in both jazz and hip-hop influences. And the hugely talented London-based guitarist Ant Law brings his quintet to round off the evening.

Produced by Somethin鈥 Else for 成人快手 Radio 3.
