Blending melancholy jazz harmony with alternative hip-hop and soul, London based self-taught pianist, composer, multi-instrumentalist, rapper, and producer Alfa Mist released this year his latest studio album Structuralism, as a follow up to the critically acclaimed debut, “Antiphon”. Now a prominent figure in London’s burgeoning jazz scene, Alfa Mist is also well known for the powerful collaborations he has done with inspiring artists such as Tom Misch, Jordan Rakei, Barney Artist, Mansur Brown and more recently Yussef Dayes. In his both vivid and meditative, genre-bending compositions, Alfa Mist perfectly brings together melancholic saxophone tunes with vibrant hip hop elements.
