Pan Amsterdam
hip-hop jazz contemporary jazz nu-jazz
Influences: Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Donald Byrd
Pan Amsterdam, the project of Houston-born trumpeter Leron Thomas, blends trumpet with loose-limbed beats, experimental production and vividly imagined rap lyrics, producing adventurous hip-hop rooted in Black American jazz tradition. Thomas has previously worked with Iggy Pop and Metronomy, and he is based in New York. Expect a live band setting where the trumpet and rapping sit at the centre of a shapeshifting sound that moves freely between jazz and hip-hop.
Personnel:
Leron Thomas (trumpet, vocals)
