Drum Kit

From her hometown of London, singer Summer Pearl is currently taking the music world by storm. Her sound of jazz, soul, hip-hop and dub, is reminiscent of the one of the great Erykah Badu, both powerful and touching at the same time. Summer Pearl herself describes it as &quot;a meditation on my past and a reflection of our present. It is both a personal and political message exploring black and female liberation and love gained and love lost.&quot;<br>

Bilal

He is an icon of Neo-Soul: the American singer Bilal. The texts are political and socially critical, the sound moves somewhere between Soul, Hip-Hop, Blues, Gospel and Jazz. His voice winds sinuously through all the octaves in order to come over sometimes softly, at other times powerful. Over the years Bilal has worked with the greats such as Erykah Badu, Robert Glasper and Kendrick Lamar and in the process he has developed into one of the most renowned exponents of this genre.

Ashley Henry Trio

Piano

Here is where structures get demolished and boundaries ignored. In his compositions the young Londoner pianist Ashley Henry blends Jazz with Neo-Soul, Hip-Hop and R’n’B and does not shy away from giving his creativity free rein – for example, for his EP “Easter” (2018), he newly arranged the song “The World is Yours” by the rapper NAS. We can look forward to Henry’s debut album which is to be released during 2019.<br>

Moonchild

Saxophon

Trumpet

Moonchild plays the finest Neo-Soul, yet one constantly gleans that the three musicians stem originally from traditional jazz. The trio - comprising songstress Amber Navran and horn-players Max Bryk and Andris Matteson - has meanwhile made a name for itself in the soul-jazz scene and has already collaborated wuth the greats such as Stevie Wonder, Jill Scott and India Arie. Their album «Voyager», released in May 2017, totally follows their muical path thus far: from atmospheric to groovy, with synthesizer sounds and influences from hip-hop and funk. Their style reminds us of Erykah Badou and Robert Glasper, and yet they are unique; not least thanks to Amber Navran&#x27;s voice, which lends Moonchild&#x27;s music its own character.
