Jazz Party at The Pitt

Check out the hottest sounds at the water’s edge at the iconic Pitt Street Food Market. For five hours, three bands will serve up a barnstorming blend of funky rhythms and electrifying sounds, all woven together by DJ Chris ‘Astrojazz’ Knight.

Belgian multi-instrumentalist ESINAM fuses African music, jazz and progressive electronic genres to create beautiful grooves, and intoxicating sonic soundscapes. Her Ghanaian roots are never far away with hypnotic, dance-floor beats and a spiritual jazz feel to her brilliant flute extemporisations.

A melting pot of underground hip-hop and jazz Kai Reesu blend elements of psychedelia, grime and hip-hop beat making into a foundation of old skool funk and progressive hip-hop, with thumping polyrhythms and rich horns.

A major voice in the new wave of British jazz, Nimbus Sextet deliver hyper-speed funkiness over a hard-hitting horn and rhythm section delivering a jazz-funk sound that nods heavily to Herbie Hancock and his contemporaries' 70s output. Their electrifying blend of jazz, soul, world and dance music has been championed by Gilles Peterson, Jazz FM and The Craig Charles Funk & Soul Show.
