SEED Ensemble: Driftglass
by Chris May
After decades in the shadow of its American parent, British jazz is finally coming of age.

Dakhla Brass: Murmur
by Chris May
It never really went away, but during the late 2010s there has been a measurable upsurge of interest in brassy, post-marching-band jazz in Britain. A high-carat jewel on the London scene over the last few years has been tuba player Theon Cross and his band Fyah. Cross also brings his dextrous bass line magic to several ...

The music took shape in the mid to late 1960s, when a string of extraordinary albums, each with one foot in Indian classical music and the other in post-bop jazz, were recorded by guitarist Amancio D'Silva and violinist John Mayer. Both featured empathetic jazz musicians (Joe Harriott, Don Rendell, ...
Moses Boyd: Displaced Diaspora
by Chris May
The pre-release anticipation surrounding drummer and producer Moses Boyd's Displaced Diaspora was a sure sign that the cultural revolution that has reset London's jazz world over the last three years has bedded itself firmly into the architecture. Not because the album is a newly recorded set--but because it is not. The disc is a selection of ...

by Arthur R George

One individual could not possibly keep up with its jazz and classical music festivals and everything else that's offered by İKSV. It brings ...
