SUMMARY:Finn Carter - ‘Finding Home’ Album Launch
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM – 2 sets of music\n  \nLine-up:\nFinn Carter – Piano\nJosh Vadiveloo – Double bass\nKaidi Akinnibi – Tenor saxophone\nBlake Cascoe – Drum kit \nAbout:\nAs we move beyond the quarter century\, the London scene continues to provide a home for some of the most adventurous genre-blending sounds to be heard anywhere. Pianist/composer Finn Carter is at once right at the center of the capital’s jazz community\, regularly appearing at venues like Ronnie Scott’s and The Vortex\, and yet simultaneously inhabiting a space of his very own\, on his own journey that encompasses working with such musically sympathetic stars of the pop world as Loyle Carner\, Olivia Dean and Rex Orange County while honing his own uncompromising musical vision. On his new release Finding Home released by Whirlwind Recordings\, he’s joined by three musicians with a similarly eclectically unfettered approach to music making\, that embraces high-level complexity while maintaining a direct connection to the listener. Kaidi Akinnibi on tenor sax brings his distinctive\, light-as-air tone and compatible range of experience across musical genres\, while the rhythm team of Joe McLaren on bass and drummer Blake Cascoe provide a revelation in shifting texture and intensity\, always driving the music to greater heights. Finding Home is a powerfully characterful statement from a standout artist who’s crafted his own voice\, surrounded by a like-minded family of players. \nFinn’s music contains echoes of his inspirations – he names Alice Coltrane\, Andrew Hill and Jason Moran as favourites\, but transcends influence to make its own utterly individual statement. At the helm of this group of similarly uncategorisable musicians\, Finn Carter has delivered his most accomplished statement yet with Finding Home. \n“I’d be amazed if Londoner Carter doesn’t become the next most in-demand UK jazz pianist on the basis of this recording alone” – Stephen Graham\, Marlbank\n\n “A fabulously talented piano player” – Jamie Cullum\, BBC Radio 2\n\n “It’s terrific…Finn has an ear for melody and an ability to leave space and build mood.” – Eddie Myer\, Jazzwise\n\n “I have seen many established and renowned acts perform at Ronnie Scott’s since 1990 and never have I been so impressed” – DJ Fitzroy\, Soul Survivors Magazine\n  \nPart of Finn Carter’s monthly residency at the Vortex\, showcasing a new project each month.
