Discussing his upcoming album in his own words Yusseff Dayes commented, “What is jazz? Where did the word derive from? Birthed in New Orleans, born in the belly of the Mississippi River, rooted in the gumbo pot of the Caribbean, South American culture & African rituals. Continuing a lineage of Miles Davis, Rahssan Roland kirk, Nina Simone, John Coltrane, Louis Armstrong ~ music that is forever evolving & limitless in its potential. The groove, it’s feeling, the compositions, the spontaneity, with a love for family, the discipline & dedication in maintaining the very high bar set by the pantheon of Black Classical Musicians. Chasing the rhythm of drums that imitated one’s heartbeat, the melodies for the mind and spirit, the bass for the core. A Regal sound for this body of music.”

‘Rust’ arrives alongside the announcement of a special headline performance at the Royal Albert Hall, London on 12 October 2023, tickets on sale Thursday (08 June) at 10am from Ticketmaster

There will be an exclusive presale from 06 June – fans can either pre-order the album or sign up to the artist’s mailing list to gain access.
