9pm: Heard World Jazz
Heard is a collective of musicians that bring their skills and passion for world music, jazz and improvising together to create irresistible grooves set in a unique sonic tapestry. Together for a decade, their vibrant sound incorporates influences from West Africa, Brazil, the Caribbean and beyond. Their debut CD Karibu reached No 15 on the WorldJazz charts and 2018's daring Flyway is similarly garnering much critical acclaim.
