Collaboration has always been central to whizkid pianist Joe Armon-Jones’ unique breed of underground jazz. The Ezra Collective member’s latest R&B, hip-hop and p-funk-inflected solo album, Turn to Clear View, finds him working with Brainfeeder’s Georgia Anne Muldrow and XL’s Obongjayar. He’s also a member of Armed KawLu, a recently-launched trio comprised of midi-jazz drummer Kwake Bass and kaleidoscopic producer Wu-Lu.
This week we head to Kwake Bass and Wu-Lu’s studio in London’s Hither Green neighbourhood where Jones and Kwake improvise a smoked-out contemporary free jazz jam on elaborate multi-synth and electro-acoustic rigs.
