Mark Kavuma in concert, Nate Smith
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 ‘Arashi No Ato’, channelling the likes of Art Blakey and Lee Morgan.
Also in the programme, we hear from pioneering drummer Nate Smith. Celebrated for his innovative and eclectic style, Nate has worked with jazz greats including Pat Metheny, Dave Holland and John Patitucci. Here he shares some of his musical inspirations, including a spirited, genre-fusing track from one of Sting’s live albums, featuring Branford Marsalis and Kenny Kirkland.
