Scottish Jazz and Beyond….
Venue: The Queen’s Hall, Edinburgh, Scotland
Date: July 13, 2019
Review by Fiona MacTaggart
The Edinburgh Festival Fringe is a huge and culturally multi-colored creature and tonight’s show, which was part of Creative Scotland’s Made in Scotland mini-festival within the Fringe, constituted somewhat of a Scottish celebration of cross-cultural music. Organised and MC-ed by local drummer Tom Bancroft, three bands were showcased, all primarily jazz bands but bringing significantly more than jazz to the table.
Concert Review: Moses Boyd Exodus (UK)
Moses Boyd Exodus…great jazz, jazz-funk and grime-tinged jazz-fusion.

Review by Fiona MacTaggart
Sons of Kemet are one of the several bands esteemed British saxman Shabaka Hutchings leads and following this band securing the much sought-after 2018 Mercury Prize for their album Your Queen is A Reptile, in which each tune is named in honor of a female civil rights hero, Harriet Tubman for example, they have been in even more demand.
