JAZZ Christian Scott Atunde Adjuah Thursday 16 November 8pm

This extraordinary musician has just released the third instalment of a trio of albums commemorating the 100th anniversary of the first jazz recordings. Collectively titled The Centennial Trilogy, the final album in the series, The Emancipation Procrastination, continues the theme, stretching the work of Trap music with West African beats and New Orleans styles – Christian’s music speaks to a myriad of issues from xenophobia to gender equality, evaluating the social political realities of the world using sound.
