Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Life-affirming Blue Note hard-bop in the swing of Monk or Sonny Rollins; Mark Kavuma’s Banger Factory is transforming London jazz with a DIY cottage industry of converging talent. When Erskine’s lyrical tenor spars with Kavuma’s soulful trumpet - this is as good as it gets!"

Mark Kavuma & Theo Erskine: Ultrasound

All ages (each under 8 to be accompanied by an adult who is 21+)
Join two of London’s most exciting jazz musicians, Mark Kavuma and Theo Erskine as they come together to perform their debut record as collaborators and co-producers, ULTRASOUND.
Joined by an all-star cast; Deschanel Gordon piano, Conor Chaplin bass and Shaney Forbes drums, they will tell the tale that is Ultrasound, playing original compositions and special arrangements. An essential night for any
jazz fans; two powerhouses of their instruments but also by the great energy and positive vibrations they bring to the room.
Ultrasound, the fifth release under the Banger Factory Label, is a further stride forward toward founder and trumpeter Mark Kavuma’s vision of bringing together seemingly disparate elements from within the bubbling London jazz scene, uniting
sounds, and players from across generations and creating a unique, exciting, and fresh sound all its own.
