Toward a World Jazz
Trombonist Nathaniel Cross is among those inventive London-based musicians for whom jazz is a laboratory to meld unique British sensibilities with what began as an exclusively American art form. Cross’ The Description Is Not the Described (First Word) is a four-composition EP of polyglot music imbued with hard-bop/postbop horns, synthesized bass, hand percussion, hip-hop-worthy low-end logic, and more.
