SATURDAY 26 | Established jazz hands Sebastien Adnot, Gabi Faja, Toma Willen and Euan Gray have joined forces to form Kin. Their forays include pop, rhythm, soul and funky stuff such as Stevie Wonder. Faja, the group’s lone Italian, notes: “We are all from very different backgrounds: classical, gypsy, jazz, reggae. In fact our music is a hybrid of all.” Original music scores are in the pipeline, professional photo and video shoots are underway and the four are working with a professional graphic designer to polish the quartet’s branding. “Having a new band is like having a baptism,” Adnot says. “It’s a rebirth.”
