Tom Misch — Montreux Jazz Festival, 2019

Live concert film of Tom Misch at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 2019, captured by the official channel of the prestigious Swiss festival on the shore of Lake Geneva. A London guitarist, producer and singer, Tom Misch embodies a generation linking jazz, soul, hip-hop and electronics in an organic, warm groove. Onstage with his band, he unfolds a set driven by his fluid, recognizable guitar playing, round basslines, soul keys and nuanced drumming, drawing notably on the repertoire of his album Geography (2018). The Montreux capture, a quality standard for live concert films for decades, carefully conveys the rhythmic precision, the solos and the hushed atmosphere characteristic of the artist, in the hall’s renowned acoustics. A representative document of the new British jazz-soul and beat scene, heir to J Dilla as much as to 1970s fusion. With no official setlist published, the song order is not reliably documented.
