The Seed Ensemble is a 10 piece band led by composer, arranger and alto saxophonist Cassie Kinoshi. ‘Driftwood’ is an 8 track album that encompasses Jazz with West African and Caribbean influences epitomising the melting pot of the current London Jazz Scene. Collaborators on this project include Theon Cross (tuba), Sheila Mauric-Grey (trumpet), Chelsea Charmichael (tenor saxophone) all brilliant up and coming young London jazz musicians and one of London’s leading guitarists Shirley Tetteh. ‘The Darkies’ is a hard groove referring to resurgent racism. ‘Wake (for Grenfell)’ is self explanatory cry for victims. ‘The Dream Keeper’ a beautiful mid tempo cut ft Cherise Adams-Burnett. Strong stuff !
