Benet McLean Band/Jason Yarde

Staggeringly good funk, fusion and contemporary jazz pianist/singer who's worked with Omar, Carleen Anderson and even Yehudi Menuhin, here plays tunes from his album 'Cliches (For Another Day)'. Very much a contemporary of Brooklyn-based pianist Robert Glasper, McLean mixes slick soul vocals, edgy jazz harmonies and fractured hip hop grooves with ease. His stunning band includes top UK multi-reedist Yarde.
