Grass Roots is a monthly event which is fully committed to supporting emerging UK-based jazz talent. While our home in Peckham is currently moving to a new location, we're taking the show on the road and popping up at Karamel.
For the month of August, we proudly present a young saxophonist, bassist and bandleader called William Wood. While hailing from Sevenoaks in Kent, William was raised in various corners of the world. Having completed his musical education in Michigan, he returned to these shores to become a bonafide member of London's burgeoning jazz community.
Besides his own projects, William currently forms part of the LUKAS-award winning Roberto Pla Latin ensemble. On the night, he will bring together an assortment of highly skilled friends to share a diverse range of artistic influences. Prepare to be dazzled, delighted and downright enchanted by this relatively new name on the scene.
