Sons of Kemet – Burn (10th Anniversary Remaster) - 2xLP Black Vinyl

Seldom has a band on the British jazz scene created such a buzz before releasing an album, but through their live shows - and some delightfully unexpected airplay - Sons of Kemet did just that. A super-group of sorts led by clarinettist, saxophonist and composer Shabaka Hutchings with Oren Marshall on tuba and both Tom Skinner and Seb Rochford on drums.

A curiously addictive album that manages to appeal to both heart and mind, there is little to compare it with. Instead, Burn feels like that rare thing, an exciting new sound that somehow worms its way into your brain and won’t let go. Exceptionally assured for a debut album, Burn surely has to become one of the standout releases for 2013.

Sons Of Kemet original line up:

Shabaka Hutchings – saxophone, clarinet
Oren Marshall – tuba
Tom Skinner – drums
Seb Rochford – drums
