Jazz in the Round

Jazz FM’s Chris Philips and Jez Nelson bring their monthly series to Kings Place showcasing three artists at the forefront of British jazz, featuring Wonky Logic, String Ting and Tony Kofi and the Organisation

Leeds-based musician and producer Wonky Logic, aka Dwayne Kilvington, is an upcoming force on the left-field hip-hop scene – blending soulful electronics with crunk beats. Owing as much to sample-culture as to his background as a jazz pianist, Wonky Logic sculpts his compositions with expansive space-age synths underpinned by clever bass work and off-kilter drums.
StringTing is a flagship ensemble from Tomorrow’s Warriors, the celebrated hothouse for young jazz talent in the UK. Led by violinist Rhiannon Dimond, they are blazing a wide trail for women and strings in jazz. StringTing’s musicians are core players in Tomorrow’s Warriors’ acclaimed Nu Civilisation Orchestra and are ones to watch as they begin to make an indelible mark on the London jazz scene.Please note that the staging for this event will be standard (end-on) seating rather than in the round.
