Billed as offering the ‘best Jazz, Funk, and Soul music in town’, Cross the Tracks will also host 40 street food vendors, craft beer brewers, a vintage fair, wellness tent and independent creative market.
"In the past half decade, along with the west coast of the states, London has become the epicentre of contemporary jazz. The London scene is blending so many genres that’s asking ‘Which genre is that?’ it's almost missing the point," reads a description for the music acts." It's a melting pot of music. It is not mathematically analysing something to the point of splitting hairs, but breaking the limitations genre tends to bring. Defined boxes can be dangerous, especially in music.
After joining Bruno Mars as soulful duo Silk Sonic in 2021, .Paak reunited with longtime producer Knxwledge as duo NxWorries last year, releasing single “Where I Go” with H.E.R. in October. Next, .Paak will make his directorial debut with musicial film K-POPS!, where he’ll co-star along with his eldest son, Soul Rasheed.
