Description:

Theon Cross strides confidently forth from his crucial role alongside Shabaka Hutchings in the award-winning Sons Of Kemet to unleash one of the vital sounds of 2019. Irresistibly inventive, while at once both serious and witty - Theon Cross plays Tuba like no-one else. An enormous, swaggering bass emanates from Theonâ??s magnificent horn, evoking sweaty clubnights where dance floor bangers sit side by side with intricate arrangements. Alongside him Nubya Garcia and Moses Boyd, leading lights from Londonâ??s Jazz golden generation, provide joyously upbeat accompaniment. Elsewhere Wayne Francis of Steamdown fame guests. Drawing on Londonâ??s vivacious cutural heritage, the album dips in and out of grime, afrobeat, dub, dancehall and Jamaican roots music. This is an album that refuses to be shackled by the confines of Jazz, or indeed any genre. â??A prodigious young talentâ? - New York Times â??Incredible!â? â?? Gilles Peterson â??Theon Cross crucially embraces the bass and rhythm role with exuberant inventivenessâ?â?? The Guardian â??Theon Cross plays the tuba as if itâ??s a Roland 303, generating deep, Flubber-like bass lines as well as wild squalls, percussive pops and dubstep bwapsâ?- The Quietus -
