Tune of the Week: Sons of Kemet
Sons of Kemet are a London based quartet of saxophone, tuba and two drummers. With this unique lineup they create an alchemy of West Indian funk jazz reggae. Their jams are self-propulsive with effortless grooves. Their momentum has been so great that they have to break up. Drummer Tom Skinner is now playing with Thom Yorke and Johnny Greenwood in The Smile. Tuba player Theon Cross just released his own solo LP. Saxophonist Shabaka Hutchings continues to amaze with his numerous projects, all of high quality. Long live the Sons of Kemet!
