Bassist and composer Kinga Głyk is one of the most distinctive voices of modern jazz, known for her unmistakeable funk-driven sound. Kinga returns to Ronnie Scott's off the back of releasing her fifth studio album, Real Life, co-produced by Michael League (founder of Snarky Puppy).

Excellent concert. This was my first time seeing Kinga Głyk and her trio live, but I'm sure it won't be the last. She has the tendency to introduce everything--a bit off-putting, but not terrible. The music moved in and out of the worlds of funk, fusion, and blues—exactly the kind of stuff I like to listen to. I'm only a beginning bass player, so I can't comment on whether her bass playing is as amazing as it looks to me and others, but I found it to come in somewhere between virtuosity and excellent accompaniment (there were plenty of moments when her keyboardist/pianist or her drummer dad were taking the spotlight for a bit). Kinga slapped on a couple of occasions but usually stuck to finger style.
Great stuff. I would love to see her play with a guitarist in the bad as well...maybe a horn section. Great music.
