    "We Out Here" - new documentary on the new London Jazz scene...

    "Earlier this year, Gilles Peterson’s Brownswood Recordings released one of the most talked-about compilations in its decade-long history, capturing a cross-section of London’s jazz-inclined musicians through nine original compositions.

    Highlighting the tightly-knit community of friends and contemporaries that has helped incubate a sound drawn from the jungle, grime and hip-hop vibrations of the city as much as the music’s storied heritage, We Out Here was accompanied by a 40-minute documentary that has been screened across the world since its release.

    The work of photographer and film-maker Fabrice Bourgelle, We Out Here: A LDN Story captures “the journey of a certain group of young gifted players among many, who have trained and come up together, and whose sounds are now becoming an integral part of our musical landscape.”

    These include colossal saxophonists Shabaka Hutchings and Nubya Garcia, drummers Moses Boyd (whose second EP Absolute Zero was released on The Vinyl Factory last year) and Femi Koleoso, keyboardist Joe-Armon Jones, tuba player Theon Cross and many more.

    To accompany the general release of the documentary, which is now online..."

    Many thanks - enjoyed by this old folk - unfortunately had to ditch Coltrane in favour of Garcia (temporarily). Well, it's in the Here and Now (if not the Hear and Now).

      Thanks for posting this, Bluesie. It offers a very good window onto the vibe surrounding the Nu Fusion end of the London scene, a whole lot of new people most of whom are just names to me, to be honest, though I do know Shabaka. There are places I never get to, like the Spice of Life in Cambridge Circus, who seem to introduce new people every week, though that may have more to do with the fact that their names aren't normally Steve or Ricky or Norma any more! Nice to see appreciation for Gary Crosby, probably as responsible as anyone since the 1980s for bringing in and bringing on new talent. Here's the utube link:
