‘Agua de Jamaica’ is the first collaborative project between producer, multi-instrumentalist, composer and arranger Sly5thave and pianist and composer Roberto Verástegui.

We are delighted to highlight some of the jazz artists on the Tru Thoughts label for this special takeover night. Tru Thoughts is producing some of the most exciting music today.

Epitomising this fusion of sounds and collaborative talents, laced with nods to funk and hip hop, composer and arranger Sly5thave and pianist and composer Roberto Verástegui improvised a jazz reworking before taking it home to layer synths, piano and beats. With a constant backbeat and harmonic pattern courtesy of Sly5thAve, Roberto’s Hammond organ takes the experimental jazz centre stage.
