Following SJF’s previous announcement on this year’s North Sea Jazz Festival in Rotterdam (see link below), several additional acts have been announced for the world’s largest indoor celebration of music. One of the most exciting developments is a strong British presence represented by the Ezra Collective, saxophonist, Nubya Garcia, drummer Moses Boyd and his band Moses Boyd Exodus, plus Shabaka Hutchings’ outfit, Sons Of Kemet. All will appear on Saturday 11th July.
Other acts added to the already mind-blowing array of talent are The Roots (who promise to feature some ‘very special’ guests), plus the wonderful Anderson.Paak & The Free Nationals, Aloe Blacc, and LA’s jazzy R&B exponents, Moonchild.
