(Press release) Xhosa Cole presents his brand new ensemble ‘Rhythm-a-ting’, an exploration and re-imagining of the music of Thelonious Monk, taking those original timeless melodies and adding a contemporary touch with new arrangements and new rhythmic interpretations.
Xhosa’s deep and authentic connection to the lineage of Jazz music has helped to establish him among the most exciting young talents in the country. At this stage in his career he is continually learning, developing and growing; in keeping with this great tradition. His exposure to players from a range of different traditions and outlooks, compounded by his strong connection to his inner-city community in Handsworth at the heart of Birmingham, has helped to develop a fiercely unique and independent voice.
The Line Up is:
Xhosa Cole – Tenor Sax,
Steve Saunders – Guitar,
Josh Vadiveloo – Double Bass,
Nathan England Jones – Drums
