A primer on London’s bright-burning young jazz scene, this new compilation brings together a collection of some of its sharpest talents. A set of nine newly-recorded tracks, We Out Here captures a moment where genre markers matter less than raw, focused energy. Looking at the album’s running order, it could easily serve as a name-checking exercise for some of London’s most-tipped and hardworking bands of the past couple of years. Recorded across three long, fruitful days in a North West London studio, the crossover between each of the groups speaks to the close-knit circles which make up the scene.

Directed by Shabaka Hutchings, 'We Out Here' is a product of three days of recording in London in summer 2017. A superb snapshot of contemporary London jazz in all its eclectic and vibrant glory. Tracks from Hutchings, Kokoroko, Moses Boyd, Maisha, Ezra Collective and more. Do not miss...
