On the show this time, it’s the contemporary jazz and black classical music of Yussef Dayes.
Drummer and composer Yussef Dayes makes music that embraces tradition, but then puts on a brand new shirt and walks out into the city, ready for anything. He’s a band leader - having put together a group of monster players to bring this music into existence. The Lewisham native has been in the midst of the current London community ever since he and his brothers were in a band together. “United Vibrations” was jamming at the house on weekends, busking in the streets, and later putting on shows - including the infamous nights called “12 Tone.” His debut solo album “Black Classical Music” is available through Brownswood Recordings and Nonesuch Records.
Recorded 11/27/23.
