Your Queen Is A Reptile - Sons Of Kemet (2018)

Shabaka Hutchings leads a wide cast of London jazz scenesters to record as Sons Of Kemet. They’re often pointed and programmatic, and usually political. This one sets its target rather ingeniously on the white matriarchy in the UK, contrasting that with a bunch of trail-blazing black women.

There’s great interplay between multiple horns and multiple drummers. With fast tempos and driving beats, It’s a fierce record from a fierce band.
