The OCT-LOFT Jazz Festival will end this Sunday. This weekend’s highlights include French singer Charles Pasi and London-based World Service Project.

    Pasi performs a unique blend of modern jazz and blues, accompanied by his signature harmonica voice. World Service Project plays jazz-infused nu-funk, rammed with stop-start melodies, crunching bass guitar and drum grooves and sophisticated horn parts for Tim Ower’s alto sax and Raphael Clarkson’s trombone.

    World Service Project’s music speaks through dark, playful, building passages, winding through dissonance, complex rhythmic manipulation and downright silliness.
