EFG London Jazz Festival happens across the UK capital from 15–24 November. Among its highlights is saxophonist, MC and poet Soweto Kinch’s performance of his forthcoming album The Black Peril at EartH in Hackney on 22 November.

The album, says Kinch, connects ragtime, proto-jazz, West Indian folk music and black classical music with hiphop and trap, going on to describe it as “a musical reflection on 100 years of race riots and the revolutionary impact of black music across the modern world”. Choreographed by Jade Hackett, the Hackney concert will feature a 14-piece jazz ensemble including members of London Symphony Orchestra, Makaya McCraven and Junius Paul.

Other festival highlights include Nik Bärtsch & Sophie Clements (15 November); artist-in-residence Terri Lyne Carrington, Angel Bat Dawid and Ozmosys quartet with Omar Hakim, Rachel Z, Linley Marthe & Kurt Rosenwinkel (all 16); Herbie Hancock (17); Corinne Bailey Rae (18); The Art Ensemble Of Chicago (23); and many others.
