Ashley Henry - Freight Brixton Presents: Soul of the South
About
NEW ADDITION TO SOUL OF THE SOUTH
Next up in our curated series…
Ashley Henry, award-winning jazz pianist, vocalist, composer, producer and bandleader. His critically acclaimed album Beautiful Vinyl Hunter, released in 2020, was named Jazz Japan's Album of the Year and nominated for BBC 6 Music's Album of the Year, only the second jazz album ever to do so.
Henry's sound reflects his London upbringing and Caribbean roots, genre-bending and collaborative, drawing from classical training and a deep study of the Black radical tradition, its futurism and history, pulse, restlessness and poise. His music is as informed by James Baldwin and Angela Davis as it is by Ahmad Jamal, George Benson, Geri Allen and Aretha Franklin.
Soul of the South celebrates high-quality live music, accessible, authentic, and putting the music back where it belongs.
