Soweto Kinch presents a concert by US bassist Chris Lightcap and his band Bigmouth.

New York-based Chris Lightcap is one of America's up and coming jazz talents both on bass and as a composer. A former student of such bass virtuosi as Milt Hinton and Cameron Brown, he has become one of the US East Coast scene's most sought-after bassists, working with Regina Carter, and Matt Wilson. Tonight, Soweto Kinch presents a concert from the Saalfelden Jazz Festival by Lightcap's band Bigmouth, featuring saxophonists Chris Cheek and Tony Malaby, pianist Matt Mitchell and drummer Gerald Cleaver.
