SUMMARY:Veryan Weston - TESSELLATIONS VI + Sylvia Hallett & Hannah Marshall (duo)
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM\nAbout:\nHannah Marshall carves pathways into noise and micro-tonality\, as well as standard harmonic aspects of the ‘Cello\, where melody\, texture\, rhythm & tonality blur. She plays at times with traditional sensibility\, and at others times treats the instrument as a collection of parts to be manipulated and re-analysed\, often combining the two.\nHer broader practice has developed through experiences in western classical music\, with bands and with jazz oriented music\, Indian classical music\, street performance\, theatre\, tightly rehearsed\, devised or spontaneous\, and is informed by interests and studies in creative group practice\, physicality\, pedagogy\, natural law & sound healing. \nSylvia Hallett is a significant figure in English improvised music\, a multi-instrumentalist of tremendous originality. Playing with groups as diverse as British Summer Time Ends and London Improvisers Orchestra\, her discography spans more that thirty years\, and includes performances\, for starters\, on violin\, hurdy-gurdy\, sarangi\, Hardanger fiddle (the one with resonating strings)\, and bowed bicycle wheels. \nOn the album Tree Time\, Hallett presents music literally drawn from the earth then echoed\, transformed\, and realized in circuitry. Hallett’s description of her inspiration and process defies paraphrase. \nVeryan Weston received a fellowship from the Digswell Arts Trust . Co-founded and composed for Stinky Winkles (Awards from GLAA\, France\, Spain and Poland). Also composed and performed for film\, notably work with Lol Coxhill on director Derek Jarman’s Caravaggio (1985). \nIn the ’80s and ’90s\, he worked with the Eddie Prévost Quartet and Trevor Watts’ Moiré Music and in duos with vocalist – Phil Minton\, violinist – Jon Rose\, saxophonist – Caroline Kraabel\, cellist – Hannah Marshall . Weston has recorded for the labels – Matchless\, Acta\, Ogun\, Leo and EMANEM. He is currently with Trevor Watts in Eternal Triangle\, touring again and on a 3rd recording project. \nPersonal research in to pentatonic scales (supported by the Peter Whittingham Foundation) has yielded 6 Tessellations pieces performing these worldwide. Tonight he will perform Tessellations VI. \n\n

SUMMARY:The Exu
DESCRIPTION:Doors 6:45 PM\, Music 7:30 PM – 1 set of music\n  \nLine-up:\nJames Mainwaring – Tenor saxophone\nDave Kane – Double bass\nEmil Karlsen – Drum kit \n  \nAbout\nNamed after a Jean-Michel Basquiat painting and inspired by the artists multi-faceted stylistic approach – known for its raw\, expressive\, and dynamic qualities\, blending street art with neo-expressionism to create bold\, thought-provoking work. The Exu make layered\, intense\, creative & beautiful\, thought provoking\, genre fluid improvised music. \nThe trio brazenly draw their musical influences from the worlds of free jazz\, grunge\, death metal\, hip hop\, bebop\, & experimental music. Kane says ‘we are the sum of our record collections\, the films we have seen\, the books we have read. It all goes into the mix to make our music.’ \nKane & Mainwaring share the compositional duties while young Norwegian drummer Emil Karlsen brings versatile\, intricate textures and groove. Mainwaring (of Mercury Prize-nominated Roller Trio) blends fiery and sensitive saxophone approaches with playful edge\, while double bassist Dave Kane ignites each performance with cathartic\, heartfelt energy that lingers long after the final note. \n

SUMMARY:Steve Beresford / Pierpaolo Martino / Mark Sanders
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM – 2 set(s) of music\n  \nLine-up:\nSteve Beresford – piano\, electronics\, objects\nPierpaolo Martino – double bass\nMark Sanders – drums \n  \nAbout:\nSteve Beresford\, Pierpaolo Martino and Mark Sanders come together as a dynamic trio exploring the edges of modern improvisation. Each musician brings a distinct and highly developed voice: Beresford’s pianism\, combined with electronics and small instruments\, expands the trio’s sonic palette\, shaping texture\, harmony and form in real time; Martino’s double bass provides both a grounded foundation and a flexible melodic force\, moving fluidly between pulse\, resonance and abstraction; Sanders’ drumming is agile and responsive\, driving the music with colour\, momentum and an acute sense of interaction. \nRooted in contemporary jazz while embracing free interplay and groove-driven abstraction\, the trio balances sharply defined compositional frameworks with fearless spontaneity. This performance marks the launch of Be S-mart\, their new album\, recorded live in Italy at the Bari in Jazz Festival and released on Confront Records. Expect elastic rhythms\, richly textured harmony and deeply conversational improvising\, where structure dissolves into surprise and reforms in unexpected ways — music that thrives on risk\, trust and deep listening\, intimate one moment and explosive the next\, created in real time and fully alive to the room. \n\n

SUMMARY:Dalston Song Club: Wounded Bear
DESCRIPTION:Doors 6:45 PM\, Music 7:15 PM – 1 set of music\nAbout\nDalston Song Club \nOur monthly series brings together some of the most prominent voices in contemporary songwriting\, hosted by Matthew Herd. April sees the return of the amazing Wounded Bear\, who is currently working on their new album. \nWounded Bear \nWounded Bear is the songwriting project of Josh Finn\, a narrative songwriter whose intricate fingerpicked guitar and understated vocals can bring moments of stillness even to busy rooms. His debut EP A Calm Night for a Bullfight gained attention from Benjamin Francis Leftwich\, whom he later supported on tour\, and was featured by Ear to the Ground Music in their list of “songwriters that could change your life.” Alongside his own releases\, Finn also co-wrote the song New York\, later performed live by Matt Healy of The 1975. \nHis songs often unfold like short scenes: wine drunk from coffee cups\, bars filled with waitresses dressed as cheerleaders\, and optimistic lovers talking about their future as planes pass overhead. Small moments of magic\, carefully observed and hidden in the everyday lives of ordinary people.

Her quartet\, formed through Tomorrow’s Warriors\, performs her original compositions and arrangements inspired by bebop\, blues and free jazz. The Klara Devlin Quartet has appeared across numerous jazz venues and festivals\, including Ronnie Scott’s Late Late show\, The Jazz Café\, Jazz In The Round\, Pizza Express Soho\, JazzLive at the Crypt and performances at the Brick Lane\, We Out Here and Brecon Jazz festivals. \nIn the words of Tony Kofi: “Klara Devlin\, remember her name\, she is in my opinion one of the most amazing and unique new trumpet voices to emerge onto the UK jazz scene. To coin the famous quote ‘if ya ain’t got it in ya\, ya can’t blow it out’. Klara Devlin definitely has it\, and definitely blows it out of her horn! I’m about 2-3 jazz generations in front of her and I’ve never been this excited about a young musician\, definitely a stylist who’ll be making new waves for the next generation.”

SUMMARY:Family Band [Cancelled]
DESCRIPTION:** Due to unforeseen circumstances this event has been cancelled**\nAll ticket buyers will be notified and given the option to have their tickets refunded or to see our early show downstairs \nDoors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM – 2 set(s) of music \n  \nLine-up:\nKim Macari – Trumpet\nRiley Stone-Lonergan – Tenor saxophone\nTom Rivière – Double bass\nSteve Hanley – Drum kit \n  \nAbout\nComprising four long-term collaborators and friends (thus the ‘family’ tag)\, the band takes as its starting point the freewheeling music of those musicians who\, back in the 1960s\, were at the forefront of the free jazz revolution\, but whose opening up of jazz’s constraints is now recognised as not a break from the past but an integral part of the music’s development. So Family Band doesn’t recreate the work of Ornette Coleman and others\, but shares its powerful and freewheeling momentum – moments of fierce intensity\, introspection and the blues all combining into an emotionally complex and often cathartic whole. \n\n

SUMMARY:John Etheridge and Blue Spirits
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM – 2 set(s) of music\n  \nLine-up:\nJohn Etheridge – Guitar\nPete Whittaker – Organ\nGeorge Double – Drum kit \nAbout:\nJohn Etheridge’s reputation in the jazz world cannot be overstated. A genuinely virtuosic fusion guitarist\, Etheridge is one of a handful of players who can claim to have helped shape the character of modern jazz guitar. He has been described by fellow fretsman Pat Metheny as ‘one of the best guitarists in the world’\, a distinction that is due in no small part to his tireless exploration of the possibilities of his instrument. A hugely respected artist in his own right\, Etheridge also claims an impressive collaborative history\, from his seminal work with groundbreaking fusion group Soft Machine to his longstanding status as the guitarist of choice for jazz icon Stephane Grappelli. \nIt is safe to say\, then\, that when it comes to playing companions\, Etheridge’s judgement is second to none.
