U.K. acoustic-electronica trio GoGo Penguin don’t describe themselves as a jazz trio but rather as a resurgence of jazz fused with hip-hop, rock, dance, and soul. The Mercury Prize–nominated band recently made their first appearances at South by Southwest (2017) and Coachella (2016), where they delivered up their trademark mash-up of minimalist piano, deeply propulsive bass lines, and electronica-inspired drums. They will perform tracks off their recent albums, Man Made Object (2016), inspired by the band’s fascination with ideas about robotics, transhumanism, and human augmentation, and Live at Abbey Road (2017), a recorded snapshot of the band at work.
