Veteran jazz drummer Steve Reid
and Kieran "Four Tet" Hebden bring the ensemble responsible for the
deep grooves of recently released Afro-Jazz thriller, Daxaar, to Edinburgh's exotic Voodoo Rooms. Reid is the heart of his
Ensemble's African-influenced funky, electro-jazz brew. He leans against the
beat, as bass and percussion pull and stride around it.

Hebden's multiple samplers
brings abstract melodies and riffs to the sound, adding a powerfully
experimental edge to the live show.

Recorded in Dakar, Senegal, Daxaar reunited the duo with Boris
Netsvetaev on keys. Adding a quartet of
Senegalese jazz musicians, including Jimi Mbaye from Youssou N'Dour's band on
guitar, Reid created an album that Giles Peterson calls "a rhythmic feast
for those who like their jazz out there".

Doors 8pm, The Steve Reid Ensemble will be on stage at 10.15pm. Tickets priced £12 stbf are
available now from The Voodoo Rooms, Ripping Records & Tickets Scotland.
