Billed as offering the âbest Jazz, Funk, and Soul music in townâ, Cross the Tracks will also host 40 street food vendors, craft beer brewers, a vintage fair, wellness tent and independent creative market.
âIn 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 thatâs asking âWhich genre is that?â itâs almost missing the point,â reads a description for the music acts.â Itâs 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 âWhere I Goâ with H.E.R. in October. Next, .Paak will make his directorial debut with musicial film K-POPS!, where heâll co-star along with his eldest son, Soul Rasheed.
