Last updated 22nd Sep 2021
Supreme Standards, Love Supreme's platform for emerging talent, returns this autumn with a series of shows. The series hopes to spotlight some of the best talent that might one day grace the main stages of the festival.
Supreme Standards covers jazz, hip-hop, soul, neo-soul, funk, afrobeat, house, disco and those artists who sit somewhere in the middle of those labels.
Have a look at what they have coming up...
Mark Kavuma & The Banger Factory and Cherise | 2nd October - Horatio’s, Brighton Pier
The Banger Factory is a group of companions who want to bring the people a good time. The Outfit, led by the Jazz FM Award-nominated Mark Kavuma (trumpet), explores completely original material and features some of the most gifted, engaging and masterful musicians on the London jazz scene today.
A Tomorrow’s Warriors graduate, Cherise has played venues including the Royal Albert Hall and Washington DC’s Kennedy Centre, and has performed alongside artists including Nubiyan Twist and Corinne Bailey Rae. In 2019 Cherise was awarded Jazz FM’s Vocalist of the Year Award and in 2020, she was also named Vocalist of the Year by the Parliamentary Jazz Awards
The performance is part of the Brighton Jazz Festival and in collaboration with New Generation Jazz.
Ash Walker, Raquel Martins and PIE | 21st October - Notting Hill Arts Club
Renowned DJ and producer Ash Walker brings his live show to the Notting Hill Arts Club alongside Raquel Martins (guitarist to Poppy Ajudha) who will be playing her new EP live for the first time. Support comes from PIE.
Project Hilts and Quinn Oulton | 17th November - Colours, Hoxton
Project Hilts are an eight-piece fusion of jazz, 2000s grime, latin, soul and hip-hop who have recently moved to London having built a cult following in Leeds. They’re a danceable, high energy live outfit who supported Submotion Orchestra pre-pandemic and have burst out of lockdown with a string of new releases.
Quinn Oulton is a south London based multi-instrumentalist, vocalist & producer. He exhibits a raw sound, melding soaring vocals and tangled acoustic textures with abstract electronics. Mentored by Julian Joseph and Soweto Kinch, he now tours with Moses Boyd and has worked with the likes of Conor Albert, Demae and scored something of an underground hit with Mom Tudie and SAHRA in the form of “Take Your Time.”
The double bill performance is as part of the EFG London Jazz Festival.
