Lineup
About the Event
Recently named Instrumentalist of the Year at the 2025 Jazz FM Awards and Jazz Ensemble of the year at the All Party Parliamentary Jazz Awards 2025, Mark Kavuma has a unique and distinctive trumpet sound. Over the last decade he has established himself as a key player in London’s rapidly expanding jazz scene.
Mark infuses all his music with the energy, attitude and swagger of a new generation of creators. His lyricism, soulful tone and grace of technique spread infectious joy and excitement among audiences and fellow musicians alike. His music is full of rhythm, blues, and with hints of gospel, soul and spiritual jazz. With this signature mix, he may just bring jazz back to the dance floor.
