In Photos: Polar Bear + MC Jyager @ Westminster Library, London (14.11.10)

Seb Rochford may clearly be a very photogenic fellow but Ragged Words didn't just make its way to the beautiful and unique space of Westminster Library simply to catch a glimpse of the Polar Bear drummer and leader's fantastic afro. There is of course far more to the Mercury Prize-nominated Londoners and we were duly first treated to a seriously impressive 45 minute jazz improv(ish) set in support of their latest album Peepers and accompanied by the strongest home-made punch known to man! MC Jyager then joined the band on stage for a second set of material from their collaboration album Common Ground bravely faced a sea of seasoned (and ageing) jazz aficionados, the young rapper won them over with aplomb.
