These Are The Breaks is a new serious of concerts at The Jazz Cafe, celebrating the artists whose music has influenced the next generation of Hip Hop music across the world, and whose tracks provided the musical DNA for thousands of tracks that you hear today.

The series kicks off on 18th April with American jazz trumpeter Tom Browne taking to the stage. His debut release 'Browne Sugar' (1979) dominated the jazz charts for many weeks while 'Love Approach' (1980) and 'Magic' (1981) each earned gold album status and spawned hits like 'Funkin' For Jamaica,' 'Thighs High' and 'Secret Fantasy.'

Not only did 'Funkin for Jamaica' top the Billboard charts, it has also been sampled over 50 times since its release in 1981. Most famously by Dr Dre for Snoop Dogg's 'What's my Name' as well as a list of artists that reads like a who is who of Hip Hop such as Missy Elliot, Timbaland, NWA, LL Cool J, & Notorious BIG.
