Moses Boyd’s All-Star Band in session from Maida Vale

Gilles invites Moses Boyd and his All-Star band to revisit the tracks that shaped the sound of London jazz. Plus, vocalist Cleaveland Watkiss makes a special appearance.

Ten years after the release of Rye Lane Shuffle, Gilles invites Moses Boyd and his All-Star Band to Maida Vale to celebrate the music that helped spark the London jazz movement with an exclusive live session.

For this unique session, the ensemble - featuring Theon Cross, Binker Golding, Nubya Garcia, Zara McFarlane, Nat Cross, Penelope Wald-Halding, Kianja, Renato Paris, Chris Stephane Boizi, Dylan Jones and Artie Zaits - is joined by a very special guest: vocalist Cleveland Watkiss.

Elsewhere in the show, Gilles digs into the archives and revisits iconic Maida Vale sessions from the past, including performances by José James, Jazmine Sullivan, Tony Allen and a previously unheard Alicia Keys track from 2001.
