Join Grammy Award-winning multi-instrumentalist Sly5thAve for a dynamic live performance blending jazz, hip hop, soul and electronica at the iconic Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club.

 

Known for his sophisticated compositions and distinctive sound, Sly5thAve sits at the intersection of groove, musicality and innovation.
