"seed.": New wave jazz that combines the classics of the 60s with rebellious youth. Young, sharp, innovative, but not forgetting its roots. Such is the jazz performed by seed., formerly known as the Seed Ensemble, in which the brass sounds like a rallying cry, inviting the community to come together and remember that this genre is not for elitists, but for people who are united by one thought, one idea and one experience.
Leaded by composer, arranger and alto saxophonist Cassie Kinoshi, the collective combines the roots of West African and Caribbean music with futuristic soundscapes, light synthesizer passages with soul-searing brass, urban hustle and bustle sensations with centuries-old Black England. history.
It is not for nothing that their debut release Driftglass (JazzRe:freshed, 2019) included the track Afronaut (feat. XANA), 2018. won the Ivors Academy Award (formerly known as the BASCA, the British Composers Award) for Jazz Composition for Large Ensemble, and the album itself in 2019. was nominated for the "Mercury Prize", which is awarded to the album of the year in Great Britain and Ireland.
Undoubtedly, the center of "seed." is C. Kinoshi, whose saxophone full of pain and joy drives this rich group of talents forward. Having completed composition studies at the Trinity Laban Conservatory of Music and Dance, she is not only the leader of seed, but also a composer of contemporary dance, film, visual arts and theater. Theatre, Globe Theatre, BalletBoyz and Southbank Centre. C. Kinoshi's works have been performed by such orchestras and ensembles as the London Symphony Orchestra, London Symphonietta, London Contemporary Orchestra, Manchester Camerata and initiatives such as Renaud Capuçon, the New Horizons Festival in Aix-en-Provence, France.
Cassie has a strong interest in the audiovisual field, installations and mixed-genre ensemble performance. However, the most important developer, who in 2012 became a finalist of the "BBC Young Composer of the Year award", the project is a group "seed.", which allows the artist to express herself musically, but also to express her position against the background of today's current events. And more than one talented musician helps her in this mission.
Saxophonist Deji Ijishakin, who combines jazz and drill music in his personal work, says that he looks at music as a scientific experiment, guitarist Shirley Tetteh has shared the stage with such artists Moses Boyd, Gary Crosby, Nathaniel Facey and others, trombonist Joe Bristow had the opportunity to play with groups such as "Black Midi", "Balimaya Project" or the London Symphony Orchestra, and keyboardist Deshanel Gordon won the "BBC Young Jazz Musician" award in 2020. The group also includes tubist Hanna Mbuya, who finds the tuba in her work through the prism of electronic and hip-hop music, drummer Patrick Boyle, who claims that a modern drummer is as relevant as he is able to authentically and individually replicate other genres, bassist Rio Kai and trombonists Joseph Oti and Jack Banjo Courtney.
"Kinoshi feels at home playing with an ensemble of 10 young talented musicians, combining African, Caribbean, dance rhythms with 60's Blue Note music," - about the album "Driftglass". said The Guardian's music critic John Fordham.
"Some of seed.'s music is unreconstructed Afrobeat which is impossible to resist. But Driftglass became a much bigger picture. Kinoshi's work is based on what happened in the past and what is happening now, but at its core the album is about herself. It's both joy and pain," All About Jazz reviewer Chris May said of the same record.
Full of life, protest, historical memory and hope, this band's music inspires us to strive for more in the everyday, which can sometimes appear gray and boring. After all, all the colors of life, all the experiences of life, all the sounds of life only move us forward, and the real awakening sometimes just needs a small seed.

Many European jazz enthusiasts have been unanimously asserting for years that the hottest point of this genre on the Old Continent is London. A crazy cauldron of jazz is boiling in the capital of the United Kingdom, dissected by the River Thames, and there are a lot of brave and devilishly talented creators dictating jazz fashion for the whole world. The festival "Vinius Mama Jazz" knows that these are not boastful claims and presents one of the hottest local phenomena - the collective "Ill Considered", which maneuvers between improvisation, jazz, electronica and world music.
"Ill Considered" was formed in 2017. when drummer, producer and sound engineer Emre Ramazanoglu, who spends a lot of time behind the scenes, i.e. while working in the music studio with such greats as Oasis leader Noel Gallagher, pop star Katie Melua or ambient music classic Brian Eno, the thought that it was time to take a break and forge something close to the heart stuck. Having met a couple of such soulmates in the London cauldron - saxophonist, clarinetist and also music producer Idris Rahman and bassist Leon Brichard - Emre did not miss the chance to get down together. In just 24 hours, the first improvised performance became the band's first album, released under the label they founded for the occasion.
Spontaneous, unbound, do-it-yourself philosophy-driven musical boat , although avoiding the big ports of the commercial music industry, soon became highly sought after in the circles of Londoners who had heard and seen a lot, and before long even sailed beyond the borders of the British Isles.
The collective's creative backbone is improvisation and enjoying the present moment. Ill Considered, which has released more than ten albums in a few years, and in concerts, does not sound like carefully thought out composition down to the details. Musicians constantly dive into the sound, hoping not to fulfill a pre-prepared plan, but rather to discover new creative angles and surprise not only themselves, but also the listeners. It fully reflects the name of the collective, which in English is used to describe a thoughtless act.
The members of Ill Considered live in London, but their sound goes beyond the British tradition. Born to an Irish-Indian family, I. Rahman and E. Ramazanoglu of Turkish origin bring with them a solid dowry of non-Western music treasures. In addition, Indian-West African-born percussionist Satin Singh often plays with the band, and recent recordings have featured tubist Theon Cross, saxophonist Ahnanse, percussionist Sarathy Korwar, and others. Such a wide range of influences from the permanent members of Ill Considered and their friends creates an exceptionally groovy improvisation that organically combines jazz, electronic music, afrobeat, funk and the musical heritage of the Middle East and India.
The group is also characterized by a unique album design. Each of their album covers is a piece of moderately colored abstract art by artist Vincent de Boer, who has become an integral part ofas part of Ill Considered. The plastic, soft shapes and subtly piercing symmetry that prevail in his works are reminiscent of a mixture of ornately playful art nouveau and functionally stricter art deco. It is the mixture of these architectural directions that conveys the content of the Ill Considered albums incredibly well, which is characterized by a masterfully maintained balance between feeling and reason, between improvisation and structure.
Phenomenon of the London scene will come to "Vilnius Mama Jazz" after releasing the band's new album "Precipice". Will we hear the latest compositions at the festival? Hardly bad. Ill Considered never plays what it's already played. The trio of E. Ramazanoglu, I. Rahman and Liran Donin, who currently serves as the group's main bass player and also plays in the well-known British modern jazz group "Led Bib", comes to demonstrate how colorful and incredibly strong the London scene is today. p>
The project is financed by the Lithuanian Council of Culture and Vilnius City Municipality.
