All London's live music

Rooted in the hard‑bop tradition and shaped by a gospel upbringing, the album reflects Boizi’s Christian faith, approaching the bandstand as a space of trust, humility, and spiritual guidance. A product of Kinetika Bloco and an alumnus of Tomorrow’s Warriors, As The Spirit Leads, released on Banger Factory Records, stands as an uncompromising expression of faith, spontaneity, and collective intent.

Christ‑Stéphane Boizi is one of the most compelling emerging voices on the UK jazz scene, recognised for performances of rare intensity, spiritual depth, and collective presence. A London‑based trombonist and composer, Boizi’s music is shaped in the lineage of the hard bop tradition and grounded in the gospel music of his upbringing. These influences come together in a sound that is expressive, rooted, and deeply personal, music that places faith, spontaneity, and the living moment at its centre.

These values are central to Boizi’s debut album As The Spirit Leads, released on Banger Factory Records. The album stands as a personal and uncompromising expression of Christian faith, reflecting Boizi’s belief in the guidance of the Holy Spirit in both life and music.
