Taking cues from future jazz and LA beat, composer, bass player and producer Ross McHenry teams up with six of the world’s foremost musical innovators to push jazz in new directions.

Known for his work as the leader of Afro-jazz ensemble Shaolin Afronauts, McHenry’s Future Ensemble collaborators include producer and keyboardist Mark de Clive-Lowe and virtuoso drummer Myele Manzanza. Influenced by hip-hop and electronic music, the Ensemble builds on the organic jazz band set-up by adding live samples, loops and beats to a largely improvised performance.
