SUMMARY:Toronto Jazz Fest Presents: Kokoroko
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS \nKokoroko first formed in 2014 when Sheila Maurice-Grey (trumpet/flugelhorn/vocals) and Onome Edgeworth (percussion) met on an arts trip in Kenya\, bonding over their shared tastes in music. A desire to connect young people in the African diaspora with genres like Afrobeat and Highlife would also fuel the band’s genesis. Before long they were playing gigs\, riding a wave of the then nascent “London jazz scene”. In 2018\, their breakthrough was secured when the sparse ‘Abusey Junction’ was included on Gilles Peterson’s ‘We Out Here’ compilation. An understated 7 minute ballad recorded in an afternoon\, it quickly became a viral hit racking up 75 million streams. \nThe next few years were spent touring extensively\, work-shopping their music and perfecting their sound. In 2019 they self-released their debut EP in 2019\, selling over 20\,000 copies on vinyl\, before having its momentum halted by the pandemic. In 2022\, after much heightened anticipation\, and with the help of producer Miles James (Little Simz\, Yussef Dayes\, Tom Misch)\, they released their debut album ‘Could We Be More’. A sinewy blend of afrobeat\, highlife and jazz\, the album scored platitudes from The Guardian\, The Telegraph\, Financial Times\, CRACK Magazine and plethora of others. The album would also land a top 40 placement on the UK Albums Chart\, peaking at No. 30. \nIts resulting success parlayed into an extensive number of touring and festival dates across Europe\, Australia\, and Canada. Now a decade into their existence\, the ensemble who also consists of Anoushka Nanguy (vocals/trombone)\, Ayo Salawu (drums)\, Duane Atherley (bass)\, Tobi Adenaike-Johnson (guitar) and Yohan Kebede (keys) are in a place where they’ve done their bit in contributing to a necessary course correction for the scenes they sought to revitalise. And as such\, feel ready to sonically expand their horizons. \nKokoroko’s artistry has matured to a place that’s now largely representative of the musical melting point and wide range of tastes that comes as Londoners in the black diaspora. It’s this precise notion and the sense of London as an overarching anchor that informs the crux of their forthcoming second studio album ‘Tuff Times Never Last’. \nReleased in 2025 via Brownswood Recordings\, ‘Tuff Times Never Last’ is a body of work that holds space for the many dualities that occur in life. A testament to resilience\, joy and the retainment of child-like innocence in the face of adverse circumstances. “Although we’re reflecting on joy and celebration\, you realize a lot of that beauty comes out of challenges and difficulties. Even in memory\, the times that were tough tend to sweeten up” Edgeworth says of the story behind the album’s title. \nAiming to signal an air of triumph\, victory and celebration in its musicality\, the new record sees the London band with careless abandon expand their wide-ranging palette and influences. Across the album’s 11 songs\, Kokoroko venture in and around 80s Brit-funk\, neo-soul\, West African disco\, bossa nova\, lovers rock and funk. Radiating in just over 40 minutes\, a universal portrayal of black diasporic music sounds from decades gone by to the present day. Showcasing their implicit and explicit connections\, especially in the realms of music made for the dancefloor. “It’s all black electronic music to us. Whether it’s here in the UK\, Chicago\, Jamaica or West Africa” \n

SUMMARY:Toronto Jazz Fest Presents: Hiromi's Sonicwonder
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS \nOver more than 20 years as a recording artist\, the jazz piano phenomenon Hiromi has shifted seamlessly from one spellbinding project to the next. In the process\, she’s earned a reputation as one of the most explosive live performers in jazz history and a global ambassador for the art form. Her many triumphs include an NPR Tiny Desk Concert that has racked up 2 million views; the opportunity to represent her native Japan with a performance at the 2021 Summer Olympics in Tokyo; 2024 winner for Best Music Score for the animated feature film Blue Giant (Award of the Japanese Academy); and a GRAMMY Award for a collaboration with fusion hero Stanley Clarke. Her artistry is — to borrow a descriptor the New Yorker favored — “dazzling.” \nIn 2023\, she released Sonicwonderland\, debuting perhaps the most expressive\, dynamic and versatile working band of her career. Called Hiromi’s Sonicwonder and featuring Hadrien Feraud on bass\, Gene Coye on drums and the trumpeter Adam O’Farrill\, the group furthered Hiromi’s distinctive musical alchemy: the spirit of classic jazz-rock fusion melded with classically rooted virtuosity\, entrancing funk\, pop flourishes and\, through O’Farrill’s trumpet\, acoustic jazz’s state of the art. \nThe album also did a remarkable job of capturing Hiromi’s mastery as a live entertainer. As the Guardian noted\, “Sonicwonderland is perhaps the closest thing to Hiromi’s onstage exuberance.”\nBut that was only the beginning. \nOver the past two years\, Sonicwonder has continued to tour and work together consistently\, advancing their deep chemistry and fearless sense of interplay. The results can be heard on Hiromi’s new Concord release and 13th studio full-length album\, OUT THERE\, in which the group’s powerful rapport meets the pianist’s astonishing abilities as a composer on equal footing.
