Theon Cross Live at Control Club Bucharest
A homegrown experimental jazz night.
A new instalment of the [ALT JAZZ] series drops on Monday—April 20, at Control, in partnership with Black Rhino Radio, and moves to the trio format, bringing forth the tuba player Theon Cross, accompanied by drums and saxophone. Exploring the tuba’s possibilities in the light of diasporic bass culture, Theon has worked to develop the full sonic spectrum of his instrument, transforming it into a total 21st-century sound system, powered by breath. Using the instrument’s ability to produce subsonics, bass, mids, and treble, Theon creates complete sound-worlds, building from rhythm and bass to arrive at melody. Theon released his first EP Aspirations in 2015, followed by his first album FYAH in 2019, and the Intra-I in 2021. He was a key member of Sons of Kemet until their dissolution in 2022, and he has featured on albums by The Smile, Little Simz, Steamdown, Makaya McCraven, and Joy Crookes, amongst many others. Theon also contributed his version of Thelonious Monk’s Epistrophy to the Blue Note Re:Imagined series.
