Oceans Of Purple

Full feature ~ blrrm.tv/jazzrefreshed

"Fifteen years ago, the London jazz scene didn't feel welcoming or inclusive, and the multicultural landscape we see on the streets of London was never seen in jazz venues. This was important for us, and why jazz re:freshed is for everyone; jazz is for everyone. London is such a melting pot of people, cultures and sounds that the music can’t help but be influenced by all these things — especially in jazz."
~ Adam Rockers (@jazzrefreshed)

Cocaine (Little Dragon REMIX)

Following on from previous single ‘Currents’, supported by Clash Magazine, Jamie Cullum (BBC Radio 2), Huey Morgan and Don Letts (BBC 6Music). The self proclaimed moody love-child of Beyoncé and Weather Report, are ready with their second. 

 

‘Mumbai’ further exemplifies the band’s unique sound with solid performances and a nod to their jazz roots. 

The soaring, soulful vocals of Frida Touray are once again at the heart of the song, this time detailing otherworldly themes that seem particularly potent at this moment.

 

Touching on an idea of a non-material universe, discouraging the labelling and judgment that sometimes prevents one from experiencing a deeper truth. 

 

Native Dancer’s cumulative observations, thoughts and words are what shapes their world. In that, globally, we are all participants of reality. Only through our own fears do we rebuild over again in dysfunctional ways. Often failing to see that we have a choice, a choice to rebuild the world through the state of wonder.

 

‘Mumbai’s outro features percussionist Kaw Secka playing the Gambian talking drum, an important feature, referencing Frida's paternal Gambian heritage. 

 

On their journey up until now, the band played a string of shows in the US, including SXSW and Afropunk Festivals, alongside Shabaka Hutchings (Sons Of Kemet), Moses Boyd and recent Jazz FM breakthrough award winner, Nubya Garcia. They have also performed at WOMAD and Love Supreme Festival as well as opening slots in London for NAO at Somerset House and Lianne La Havas at EARTH.

MUMBAI

"Native Dancer is a refreshing burst of imagination, uniqueness, and purpose in a crowded electro-fusion landscape" Afropunk

"With influences ranging from Herbie Hancock to The Cinematic Orchestra, London 5-piece Native Dancer are the new troubadours of psychedelic soul.” Stamp The Wax

Birthed from deep within London’s burgeoning Jazz resurgence, Native Dancer have been setting levels across the capital’s live scene (and beyond) over the past two years. Five individual artists who together set out to create a music that speaks from the heart and denies none of their influences in a genre twisting mashup of styles with elements of pop, soul, electro-funk, jazz, rock and dance music.
These sonic explorers have created a sound world that attempts to dissolve boundaries fusing acoustic instruments, synthesizers and samples. The music evokes ideas of parallel realities, a common element that connects everything and ultimately promotes peace and love.
