Acclaimed tuba player and composer Theon Cross<\/a> is gearing up to release a new album titled Intra-I<\/em>, the follow-up to his 2019 debut Fyah<\/em>. Cross, who’s a big player in London\u2019s vibrant contemporary jazz scene, offers a whole array of sonic possibilities of his main instrument. Eschewing genre conventions, the upcoming album sees him blending “jazz, dub, hip-hop, soca, grime, and other sounds from the Afro-Caribbean diaspora”. Intra-I<\/em>, which means \u2018Within Self\u2019, is described as “an exploratory and upful celebration of Afro-Diaspora Music” and it “features songs that examine self-development, the importance of history and heritage and the strength in adversity shown by the first generations of post-war Caribbean immigrants to the UK.”<\/p>\n

Intra-I<\/em> features several guest collaborators including Remi Graves, Shumba Maasai, Afronaut Zu, Ahnans\u00e9, Consensus and Oren Marshall, and is the first to include vocals.<\/p>\n

We\u00b4ll have to wait until October 29th for the album to be out but we can already hear ‘The Spiral’ feat. Afronaut Zu & Ahnans\u00e9. The track comes with an accompanying video directed by Roisino & Eden. Take a look below.<\/p>\n
