Kaz Rodriguez - The Full Live Show Is Here (And It’s Something Else)
If you’ve ever wanted to see Kaz Rodriguez in his element - really in his element - now’s your chance.
We’ve just dropped the full-length video of Kaz’s debut London show, filmed live at Pizza Express Soho, and it’s nothing short of a musical moment. This isn’t just another performance. It’s a rare glimpse into Kaz’s creative world, captured in full, from the first hit to the final applause.
Whether you know him from his work with Josh Groban, Shaka Khan or the Zildjian Live series, this is Kaz stepping into the spotlight with his own band, his music and a full room of people soaking up every note.
And trust us - it’s a ride.
What Made This Show So Special?
We’ve seen Kaz in a lot of contexts - as a sideman, a session beast and a backing track wizard. But here? Here he’s the bandleader. The storyteller. The guy guiding the journey, start to finish.
From lush, atmospheric textures to explosive grooves and tight band interplay, this set brings together jazz, funk, electronic and cinematic influences - all wrapped up in that unmistakable Kaz pocket.
And the best part? It’s all live. No click. No grid. No safety net.
“This is something I’ve always wanted to do – to step out of the backing track world and play something real, in the moment, with musicians I trust.”
- Kaz, mid-set
There’s something genuinely raw and exciting about this show. Kaz talks openly about the nerves, the pressure and how live music lets the real artistry shine through - mistakes and all. And that’s what makes it so compelling. It’s not polished to perfection. It’s human. It’s honest. And it grooves hard.
More Than Just the Playing - It’s the Perspective
Alongside the full live set, we’ve included a bonus sit-down with Kaz where he dives deep into his creative process, his journey through the industry and why this show was such a big deal for him personally.
He opens up about trusting his band, shaping songs on the fly and finally feeling ready to lead his own project after years of playing for others.
You get a real sense that this isn’t just a gig - it’s a milestone. And it’s powerful to witness.
