KOMPROMAT vol.i is a mixtape — four live recordings, three beats, two skits. It tells the story of LA rapper Jurnalist linking up with a Glasgow jazz band. Boom bap, grime, psychedelia, rich horns. Madlib and J Dilla in the bloodstream. Harry Weir on tenor sax. Paul Copeland on keys. Recorded partly in his mum’s living room.
Sold out Novus Jazz Festival. Kelburn Garden Party. Edinburgh Jazz and Blues Festival. Now they play VoxBox Record Store Day.
Saturday 18 April. St Vincent’s Chapel. Free.
