Mansur Brown may be only young but he’s no stranger in the effervescent London jazz scene, with his collaborative work in projects like TriForce, and his contribution to Yussef Kamaal’s acclaimed 2016 album Black Focus. “As Thundercat claims the Bass Guitar, Robert Glasper the keys”, says the press release, “the 21 year old prodigy from south east London claims the Guitar.”
Brown is on a solo quest with his debut album Shiroi just out last month via Kamaal Williams’ Black Focus Records, with a vinyl release following on November 23rd.
The album’s title track serves as an incredibly enticing taste of what’s on offer. Take a listen now.
