Kassa Overall, “one of modern jazz music’s most audacious futurists” (Pitchfork), heads to London’s The Lower Third for the launch of his new album, CREAM (Warp Records). With CREAM, his fourth solo studio album, Overall pays homage to the twin passions of his youth - hip-hop and jazz drums in the tradition of Elvin Jones. Across 8 instrumentals, the visionary drummer and producer transforms hip-hop classics by The Notorious B.I.G., Wu-Tang Clan, Dr. Dre, A Tribe Called Quest, OutKast, Digable Planets, and Juvenile into timeless standards that are rhythmically adventurous, witty, and often sublime. “CREAM isn’t just covers-it’s a full-on reimagining of hip-hop through jazz, digging into the musical guts and soul of both,” Overall explains. “It’s a fresh take on how these genres talk to each other-not just a collision, but a conversation that’s been brewing since the ‘90s.” For accessibility information please see the accessibility information button/link below Presented by Earth Cruises.
