TOMORROW’S WARRIORS PRESENTS KEZIA ABUOMA TRIO

Thursday March 27!!

Doors 7pm, Music 8pm

£7.50 Early Bird £10 General Admission £5 Student

Kezia Abuoma is a pianist and composer from London. Whilst currently studying at Trinity Laban, she has already performed at The Jazz Cafe, Pizza Express Live Holborn, We Out Here Festival, and Dizzy’s Club at the Lincoln Centre, New York.

Kezia and her band will be playing a mix of her original compositions which take inspiration from the music of Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock and Mccoy Tyner as well as some fresh interpretations of older compositions.

Tomorrow’s Warriors’ talent development programme has helped nurture an astounding list of award-winning alumni including Nubya Garcia, Shabaka Hutchings, Ezra Collective, Moses Boyd, Binker Golding and a whole host more. At the heart of this incredible musical movement is the ethos of ‘each one, teach one’, with each generation sharing their time and supporting the musicians that follow in their footsteps. The creative results are nothing short of inspiring and intoxicating, as witnessed in the new Tomorrow’s Warriors album, I Am Warrior.

For over 30 years, Tomorrow’s Warriors has played a vital role within its community and the wider music industry and has been credited with literally changing the face of UK jazz.  Free access to Tomorrow’s Warriors artistic programme has proved crucial in nurturing the nascent talent and early careers of so many of the most exciting UK artists currently tearing up the international jazz scene including Mercury Prize 2023 winners Ezra Collective, Moses Boyd, Nubya Garcia, Shabaka Hutchings and Sons of Kemet, ESKA, Jason Yarde, Denys Baptiste, Robert Mitchell, Soweto Kinch, Shirley Tetteh, Byron Wallen...the list goes on.   A Black-founded and Black-led organisation, Tomorrow’s Warriors  offers a pioneering, comprehensive programme of learning and training which champions and supports young Black and female talent and those who come from challenging circumstances that would be a barrier to accessing opportunities to pursue a music career.
