Late Late Show Upstairs with Sonedo
Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club, W1D 4HT , [Venue Details]Japanese-Scottish producer, pianist and bandleader Soneda is pioneering a vital new UK sound that threads jazz improvisation with rap and grime. His music is collaborative and elastic, a blend of live instrumentation interwoven with MCs and vocalists.
Equally at home in a jazz club or a nightclub, Sonedo has earned support from Jamz Supernova and Gilles Peterson on BBC Radio 6 Music for his work with Rebecca Vasmant; received the Peter Whittingham Jazz Development Award; and headlined his debut show at Lancaster Jazz Festival, cementing his place as one of the most compelling new voices bridging Scotland’s jazz and rap scenes.
Sonedo grew up surrounded by a large Japanese family, first finding his voice at the piano in his cousin’s house at the age of seven. Now based in Glasgow and having completed his studies at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, he is emerging as a distinctive new presence in UK jazz. A lifelong fan of A Tribe Called Quest, J. Cole and particularly Kendrick Lamar, his sound also draws from jazz innovators such as Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea, alongside the modern UK movement led by Alfa Mist, Yussef Dayes, Venna and Glasgow’s own corto.alto.
As long-standing Musical Director and bandleader for BEMZ (winner of the BBC Introducing Scottish Act of the Year Award), Sonedo has become an indispensable bridge between Scottish jazz and rap. His production work reflects the same cross-genre fluency.
