Drummer Yussef Dayes has rhythm in his blood and a creative take on playing percussion that is almost unparalleled in modern UK jazz. With a more cosmic sound than traditional jazz, UK musicians are adding elements of grime, jungle and house to create a new, crossover genre. Anything but classic, it has gained wide recognition in the music industry as a unique blend that defines the constantly shifting soundscape of a cosmopolitan city like London. Yussef Dayes and Kamaal Williams are an important part of the movement, releasing their first album, 'Black Focus', as jazz-funk duo Yussef Kamaal. Having largely masterminded the album, which impressed critics with its sensitive mixture of jazz, electronica, hip hop and world music, Yussef Dayes has now branched out into a solo career. Recording his track 'Love is the Message' at the legendary Abbey Road studios was just the first step on an exciting road that includes a Yussef Dayes tour around the UK.
