Jazz re:freshed: Theon Cross and Summer Pearl
About the event
The label at the forefront of the UK’s jazz scene, Jazz re:freshed, brings you another epic double bill featuring Theon Cross and Summer Pearl, alongside a line-up of their best DJs.
Originally founded to spotlight the talent of underrepresented young artists, Jazz re:freshed has since scouted and nurtured the biggest names in UK jazz including Shabaka Hutchings, Yussef Dayes, Nubya Garcia and GoGo Penguin.
Headlining this electrifying double bill is award-winning tuba player and composer Theon Cross, a pioneering artist who has transformed perceptions of his instrument through a bold fusion of jazz, Afro-Caribbean rhythms, hip-hop, dub and sound system culture.
Opening the evening is UK singer-songwriter Summer Pearl, whose distinctive blend of jazz, soul, hip-hop, dub and reggae creates an unmistakably London sound.
Jazz re:freshed DJs will keep the fire burning behind the decks throughout the night.
Part of the Melbourne International Jazz Festival.
