Two big names in the house tonight as La Villette's jazz festival digs deeper into the roots of black music and spoken word. Irrespective of whether you hold the opinion that
Gil Scott-Heron invented hip hop or not (he did!), he is undoubtedly one of the most important influences on black music.
Saul Williams carries that flag forward, breaching other styles and genres with his incisive words and big sounds.
