Nathaniel Cross - The Description Is Not The Described

The EP is a four-track instrumental opus that falls within the cracks of contemporary jazz, whilst encompassing a wide-range of black music sub-genres that he heard growing up in a British-Caribbean household. ''The overview for this EP at the core of each track is jazz arranging, but disguised under a range of styles of music from the black diaspora'' says Nathaniel. Sonically, the full-set threads in strains of bruk, calypso, dancehall, neo-soul, hip hop, gospel, afro-cuban and West African music.
