Soweto Kinch is a jazz composer and arranger, alto saxophonist, and rapper. He was born in London in 1978, but brought up in Birmingham, where he is still based.
On graduating with a degree in Modern History from Oxford University, he joined Tomorrow’s Warriors; and in 2001 made his recording debut (on the Jazz Jamaica album Massive), and formed his own trio.
His two albums to date, Conversations With The Unseen (2003) and A Life In The Day Of B19: Tales Of The Tower Block (2006) combine bebop-style jazz with elements of hip-hop, soundscapes and spoken dialogue. The latter album, as the title suggests, is a concept album about life in Birmingham, the narrative of which is to be continued on his next album, due out in 2007.

Bought the new album yesterday at their show in Norway! Freakin' amazing, the people who bought it at the show were the first people to get the cd, in the world. Soweto got it in the mail the day before the show and brought them with him to the show! Doesn't come out until the end of September!

'Conversations...' is the reason I'm now in to jazz, and honestly think it'll take something out of this world to top it. Must check out 'A Life In The Day...' Soweto makes other jazz sound shallow to me :)
