When Musical Worlds Collide Jazz and Hip Hop

Jazz and Hip Hop

In the first of a two-part series, saxophonist and rapper Soweto Kinch looks at the interaction between jazz and hip hop. With the help of music from performers Cab Calloway, Slim Gaillard, Stetsasonic, Quasimoto and Oliver Lake, Soweto digs deep into the cross-fertilisation of genres, and plays examples live in the studio with his quartet, including guitarist Femi Temowo, bassist Neil Charles and drummer Troy Miller
