SUMMARY:Vortex Lates: Klara Devlin - MILES 100
DESCRIPTION:Doors 10:30 PM\, Music 11:00 PM – 1 set of music\n  \nLine-up:\nKlara Devlin – Trumpet\nChris Outhwaite – Piano\nAleks Dimitrova – Double bass\nEmmanuel Ampong – Drum kit \n  \nAbout:\nContinuing Laura Jurd’s celebration for Miles Davis’ Centenary\, we are very pleased to welcome Trumpeter Klara Devlin and her quartet performing original compositions and arrangements inspired by bebop\, blues and free jazz. \n19-year-old jazz trumpet player\, Klara Devlin\, was a 2024 BBC Young Jazz Musician finalist\, currently studying jazz at the Royal Academy of Music. She began playing trumpet at five and discovered jazz at eight. 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.” \n\n

SUMMARY:London Jazz Orchestra Vortex Sessions - Coltrane at 100: Africa/Brass
DESCRIPTION:Doors 3:30 PM\, Music 4:00 PM – 2 sets of music\nAbout\nOn 1 September 1961 Impulse! Records released John Coltrane’s first large-scale recording\, Africa/Brass\, featuring his working quintet including Eric Dolphy\, framed by a large ensemble of brass instruments. As Gil Evans was unavailable\, Dolphy and McCoy Tyner created the arrangements\, expanding the freedom of the small group into a larger aural palette. While the arrangements by the young players demonstrated more aspiration than experience\, Coltrane and group’s playing was truly inspired.  LJO director Scott Stroman has revisited and expanded the arrangements for jazz orchestra\, adding an orchestral version of Coltane’s Naima\, recorded around the same time.\n\n\n\n\n\nAfrica/Brass is preceded by a set featuring vocalist Brigitte Beraha.

SUMMARY:Queer Jazz: margomool
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM – 2 sets of music\nPLEASE NOTE: One of the performers has long COVID\, and a few people from the long COVID community will be joining us in the audience. If possible\, please consider testing before the show\, or wearing a mask\, as further exposure to COVID 19 can further exacerbate symptoms of long COVID.  \nAbout\nmargomool: \nmargomool is a British/Italian musician based in South-East London uniquely fusing jazz-inspired electronic music with hints of folk and soul. The vocalist and producer gravitates towards assorted influences\, from Little Dragon to Dego to Beverley Glenn-Copeland\, painting sonic worlds that sing to queer existence and empathy as a revolutionary tool. \nComing from a self-taught background\, margomool cultivated their practice through London’s improvisational scene\, going on to collaborate with globally recognised artists such as Allysha Joy\, EX Generation & Harve. They have taken their own project across the UK & Europe\, sharing lineups with the likes of Sarathy Korwar and Laura Misch on stages such as Love Supreme Jazz festival. Described by Line of Best Fit as ‘convention-smashing’\, margomool’s four independent releases have had international reach through support from tastemakers like Jamz Supernova\, Emma-Jean Thackray and Selector Radio. \nQueer Jazz: \nQueer Jazz exists to platform\, nurture and celebrate the emerging queer jazz scene. Programmed by Tina Edwards and Arowah\, they have put together an exciting monthly programme of innovative LGBTQI+ artists at The Vortex Jazz Club\, supported by Arts Council England. \nPhoto credit to El Hardwick @el_hardwick

SUMMARY:Henry Lowther’s Still Waters
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM – 2 sets of music\n  \nLine-up:\nHenry Lowther – Trumpet\nPete Hurt – Tenor Saxophone\nBarry Green – Piano\nDave Green – Double bass\nPaul Clarvis – Drum kit \nAbout:\nStill Waters was born out a long association and friendship going back 40 years between myself and Britain’s premiere bassist Dave Green. We both felt that the time had arrived to play music of our choice together with some of the finest jazz musicians working in Britain today. As a result Still Waters is now one of the most accomplished and creative bands around. \nAlthough a classic quintet of two front line and rhythm\, Still Waters plays radical and original music\, ranging from gentle\, quietly pastoral and melodic music\, reflecting the band’s name\, through to dynamic\, free improvisation. \nI am immensely proud of the band. The main thing to say about it is that it is a BAND and not just a collection of individual musicians; in other words the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. The level of creativity\, adventure and interplay on gigs never ceases to astonish me; no two gigs are ever the same and this is truer of Still Waters than of any other band I’ve ever played in. \nDave Green\, is without doubt the foundation of Still Waters. He has a way of finding the right thing to do at exactly the right time. Whatever else goes on around him he always keeps it right there\, allowing everybody else maximum freedom. \nPaul Clarvis is the most idiosyncratic\, original and creative drummer in British jazz who\, together with pianist Barry Green’s ability to move from straight ahead playing to wayward free improvisation\, makes the rhythm section an absolute joy. I love its ability to go anywhere it chooses to go. \nMy partner on the front line\, Pete Hurt\, is not only a wonderful and inventive saxophone player but also an all round accomplished master musician and one of Britain’s very greatest composers of music for big band

DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM – 2 sets of music\n  \nLine-up:\nLarry Stabbins – Saxophones\, G “Sol” Clarinet\nMark Sanders – Drums\nPaul Rogers – Custom 5 String Bass \nAbout:\nSarost is a trio comprising Mark Sanders Percussion\, Paul Rogers Custom 7 String Bass and Larry Stabbins Saxophones and G “Sol” Clarinet. Tonight\, they celebrate the release of their new album on Ogun Records “The Granite Variations”. \nThree veteran\, virtuoso improvisors who have worked together in various combinations for over 40 years\, this trio has an astonishing combined legacy having shaped and been a part of and still shaping the British Free Jazz/Improv scene. \nDuring a 50+ year career across the spectrum of music saxophonist Larry Stabbins has worked with most of the important figures at the cutting edge of European Jazz and Improvisation from Mike Westbrook to Keith Tippett and Tony Oxley and Germany’s Peter Brotzmann\, as well as with Robert Wyatt and Jerry Dammers Spatial AKA. Alongside this he played in the seminal pop group Weekend and formed Working Week with guitarist Simon Booth\, a project that took a melange of latin\, soul and jazz into the world of pop and dance music. \nSince then\, different projects of his own across the range of his interests have varied from totally improvised small groups and solo performances to “Jazz Rap” ( QRZ?) in the early 1990s\, “FreeJazz TechnoFunk” (Game Theory) early 2000s\, “Psychedelic Hip Hop” ( Stonephace) and freeish “Spiritual Jazz” (Stonephace Stabbins with Zoe Rahman) around 2010. And currently in a quartet “137”with Adrian Utley and Jim Barr of the cult band “Portishead” and Percussionist Sebastian Rochford. \nPaul Rogers plays an AAL 7 string bass of his own design. In addition to solo concert performances he has played with countless major musicians on the European and US Jazz and Improvised Music scenes for over 40 years including many combinations with Mark\, with whom he recently recorded with Paul Dunmall and was a member of the influential group Mujician with Keith Tippett\, Paul Dunmall and Tony Levin. He also played with Larry in many groupings over the years\, most notably the Keith Tippett Septet and Tapestry Orchestra and Louis Moholo’s Dedication Orchestra. \nMark Sanders is a drummer/percussionist who has played with countless renowned improvising musicians in concerts and festivals all over the world\, including Roscoe Mitchell\, Wadada Leo Smith\, Derek Bailey\, Roswell Rudd and Evan Parker\, with Larry in a quartet with Howard Riley and as a trio with pianist Pat Thomas and played on over 200 vinyl and CD releases and is hugely in demand with visiting American musicians. \nLarry Stabbins is a major figure in UK jazz and improvised music\, so it’s great to see the 75 year old back in action after a period of rest. …..a masterful performance….spiritual jazz in the truest sense: an exultation.\n Stewart Smith The Wire Magazine\n

DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM – 2 sets of music\n  \nLine-up:\nEddie Parker – Flute\, Keyboards\nRob Luft – Guitar\nDave Manington – Double bass\nJay Davis – Drum kit \n  \nAbout:\nAirborn is the new project led by flutist\, multi-instrumentalist and composer Eddie Parker.

Many will know Eddie’s work in the 1990s with South African piano genius Bheki Mseleku. Eddie is also a regular member of the Will Gregory Moog Ensemble. More recently\, his Debussy Mirrored Ensemble have gained much positive attention for their unique compositions and performances. Speaking about his fellow musicians in Airborn\, Eddie Parker says: “They teach me something new whenever I play with them and interact with them. And Rob? I run out of superlatives! He’s not just technically accomplished (although it’s jaw-dropping) – his soundworld is not just a world\, it’s a whole solar system – and he’s not afraid to explore new places in the music and expand his horizons as well.” \n“Just when you think you’ve worked out where this music belongs\, it lifts again\, changes direction and escapes whatever box you were preparing to put it in.” – Bebop Spoken Here\n“Parker’s restless musical curiosity shines through on Airborn.” – All About Jazz

SUMMARY:Joe Herbert "Blind Eyes"
DESCRIPTION:Doors 6:45 PM\, Music 7:00 PM – 1 set of music\n  \nLine-up:\nJoe Herbert – Guitar\nMatt Redmond – Saxophone\nReuben Goldmark – Piano\nToby Yapp – Double bass\nJosh Walker-Martin – Drum kit \n  \nAbout:\nJoe Herbert presents his new album\, Blind Eyes\, with an expanded line-up for one show. Expect an evening of adventurous genre-blurring compositions and high energy playing. \nJoe Herbert is a guitarist and composer bringing together the rhythmic language of contemporary jazz with the weight\, atmosphere and darkness of grunge and rock. His music is built on deep grooves and an instinct for spontaneity\, drawing as much from Radiohead\, Jeff Buckley and Nirvana as it does from London’s jazz scene. \nRecorded with long-standing collaborators Toby Yapp (bass) and Josh Walker-Martin (drums)\, Joe’s second album explores the guitar trio as both a live band and a studio project. Layered guitars\, subtle textures and carefully shaped dynamics sit alongside improvisation to create a sound that feels expansive without losing the immediacy of three musicians playing together. \nThe music moves between tightly constructed compositions and open improvisation. Influences from modern jazz\, rock\, funk and ambient music meet in a distinctive band sound. \nAt the heart of the project are musicians who have developed their own musical language over years of playing together. Whether in the studio or on stage\, the focus remains the same: making music that is direct and adventurous. \n\n
