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. His work draws on deep influences from jazz legends such as Roy Hargrove, Quincy Jones and Cannonball Adderley, while remaining rooted in the rhythms and culture of hip hop.
A highly respected saxophonist and arranger, he has performed and collaborated with an impressive range of artists including Prince, Stevie Wonder, Gladys Knight, Questlove and Alfa Mist, as well as working with collectives such as Ghost-Note.
