Current NY based collaborations include work with the original-song-driven band Slow Tiger\, an improvised collective with Carlo Costa & BlankFor.ms\, and a duo with Gregg Belisle-Chi. Warren is also a frequent collaborator with the Berlin based artist\, Jeremy Viner\, and the Denver based band Mountain Coast. \nWarren is a member of the Webber/Morris Big Band\, two stellar Stephan Crump ensembles: Passerine and Slow Water\, and of the Angelica Sanchez Nonet.

SUMMARY:Rebecka Edlund Trio ft Laura Jurd & Ruth Goller
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM – 2 set(s) of music\n  \nLine-up:\nRebecka Edlund – Voice\nLaura Jurd – Trumpet\nRuth Goller – Bass guitar \n  \nAbout\nSwedish vocalist Rebecka Edlund weaves together the sonorities of experimental jazz and Scandinavian folk music. Since moving from Sweden to London in 2019\, Edlund has established herself as one of the UK’s boldest pioneers within vocal improvisation and songwriting. \nDrawing on the evocative edge of Nordic landscapes and the quirks of human nature\, Edlund’s music is defined by immersive storytelling\, expressive improvisations\, herding calls and bird whistles. \nEdlund’s recent ventures include performing with Ruth Goller’s Skylla and recording an album with an octet of notable musicians including Norma Winstone\, Jeff Ballard\, Iain Ballamy and Rob Luft. She curates the Downstairs Living Room Series at Vortex Jazz Club and teaches at the Faculty of Music at Trinity Laban Conservatoire. \nEdlund’s upcoming debut album\, Virgin Forest\, features the extraordinary musical minds of Laura Jurd\, Ruth Goller and Elliot Galvin. The album is a collection of letters to our younger and older selves\, reflecting upon the synergy between how we treat the home we have in nature and the one we carry within. The line-up for the 2026 November UK tour: Rebecka Edlund: vocals\, guitar Laura Jurd: trumpet Ruth Goller: bass \n\n

SUMMARY:Speyer's Space Trio
DESCRIPTION:Doors 6:30 PM\, Music 7:00 PM – 2 sets of music\n  \nLine-up:\nLoz Speyer – Trumpet\, flugelhorn\nJosh Vadiveloo – Double bass\nAndrew Lisle – Drum kit \n  \nAbout:\nSPACE TRIO lives in the open territory between Jazz and Free\, with improvisation framed by some strong tunes written for this kind of playing. As well as his own writing\, Speyer’s Trio plays a mix of compositions by free jazz masters such as Ornette Coleman\, Don Cherry and Johnny Dyani\, and by his friend and former colleague Tony Bianco … all pieces carefully chosen if not designed for this elemental lineup of trumpet\, bass and drums. \nWith SPACE TRIO\, trumpeter Loz Speyer is taking forward many years’ exploration of the format\, beginning with Threeway\, his trio with NYC drummer Tony Bianco and bassist Julie Walkington (who went on to play bass in his group Inner Space); and continuing in FreeTrio with the renowned free jazz drummer Tony Marsh and bassist Olly Blanchflower. Both groups are now represented on albums\, recently released by Spherical Records on Bandcamp: “Live in the Southwest” by Threeway recorded in 2000; and “Open Territory” by FreeTrio\, comprising home recordings from 2009-11. \nMeanwhile\, SPACE TRIO emerged from Loz Speyer and Andrew Lisle working together in various improvisational projects over the last few years. All three musicians now live in Hackney\, with Josh Vadiveloo now a near neighbour\, having played in Xhosa Cole’s Birmingham-based quartet for some years. The multiple interactions at work in this new and lively combination are something to experience! \n“The composing is reliably successful at offering engaging vehicles for extemporisation. But this dance between freedom and form needs more than that to succeed. Much of the time it relies on mainly motivic improvisation\, with its particular demands. Speyer leads the way in meeting them. Rather like the great Bobby Bradford to my ear\, just when you feel a solo excursion is beginning to fade he is able to apply the Ornette Coleman method of inflating another bubble of new melody\, apparently at will. That’s something only the best players in this school can bring off consistently … As the CD testifies\, it makes their live performance a richly rewarding affair. Hearing them do it again in person shows a band going from strength to strength.” \n– Jon Turney\, UK Jazz News reviewing Loz Speyer’s Inner Space \nphoto by Winstan Whitter

SUMMARY:ONe_Orchestra New
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM – 2 sets of music\n  \nLine-up:\nCaroline Kraabel – alto sax/voice\nKatherine Farnden – oboes\nKamila Wielebska – voice/dance\nIris Casling – double bass\nCath Roberts – saxes/electronics\nDee Byrne – alto sax\nSue Lynch – tenor sax/flute/clarinet\nBara Noha – voice\nRosa Theodora – keyboards/piano/voice\nEmmanuelle Waeckerle – voice/objects\nSaori Miraku – piano/keyboards\nKri – voice\nShama Rahman – sitar\nMegan Steinberg – turntables\nJane Perrot – voice\nAna Chora – electric guitar\nBarbara Mukoda – flutes \nAbout:\nONe_Orchestra New work in large-group improvisation to free themselves and their listeners from the default assumptions built up through the centuries-long predominance of cis men in music… This improvising orchestra’s work opens up novel\, important\, and fascinating new forms\, relations\, AND sounds. \nImprovisation is\, by necessity\, a big part of being and surviving as ‘other’; conversely\, otherness – that everyone experiences somewhere in their heart – has a huge influence on the creation of improvisation. The shared experiences and sense of safety among ONe_Orchestra New members allow them to explore more boldly in their quest to uncover new ways of hearing\, as well as new things to hear.

SUMMARY:Family Band
DESCRIPTION:  \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:Finn Carter & Stephanie Burrell
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM\nThis performance will start promptly at 8:30pm \nLine-up:\nStephanie Burrell – dance\nFinn Carter – piano \nAbout:\nThis month\, Finn Carter experiments with form and what the idea of improvisation and communication look like between music and dance. Part of Finn Carter’s monthly residency at the Vortex\, showcasing a new project each month. \nStephanie Burrell\nStephanie Burrell is an artist working across dance\, film\, performance\, choreography and theatre. She is the co-founder of Birthday Fish Theatre\, a surrealist theatre company\, and leads the collaborative conceptual performance project Housewife Going Digital. Her practice is research-driven and subversive. \nWhile her foundation lies in contemporary dance and ballet\, Stephanie’s work now spans physical theatre\, commercial choreography\, and experimental performance. \nHer choreographic practice began in 2020 as she investigated ways to fuse improvisation with theatrical modes of performance inspired by and in response to jazz music. \nFinn Carter\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. Finn’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.

Their long-standing musical partnership centres on a shared love of space\, clarity\, and expressive storytelling\, creating performances that are immersive\, spontaneous\, and deeply connected. \nParliamentary Jazz Award-winning vocalist Emilia Märtensson is recognised as one of the most distinctive voices in UK jazz\, celebrated for her expressive tone and emotionally nuanced storytelling. The Observer described her as “the new face of British jazz\,” while Jazzwise praised her as “a voice of quite remarkable expressive depth.” \nPianist\, composer\, and producer Matt Robinson\, known for his work with Snowpoet\, is acclaimed for his melodic improvisations\, harmonic richness\, and imaginative use of piano\, synthesisers\, and live electronics. \nDrawing inspiration from iconic European jazz duos such as Sidsel Endresen & Bugge Wesseltoft and Norma Winstone & John Taylor\, Märtensson and Robinson subtly reimagine the voice-piano format through improvisation\, extended techniques\, and understated electronics\, while preserving its essential intimacy. \nFor this performance\, the duo is joined by acclaimed saxophonist Adam Waldmann\, bassist Max Luthert\, and drummer Will Glaser. Together\, the quintet expands the duo’s finely detailed musical world into a richly textured ensemble\, balancing openness\, lyricism\, and collective improvisation.

They are part of a creative wave of musicians based in Belfast exploring how traditional music relates to the experience of the 21st century; challenging ideas of cultural purism and ‘subverting audiences’ expectations’ (Kate Molleson BBC Radio 3)\, ‘they boldly go where few have even dreamed of going before’ (The Irish Times). \nTheir rapid rise has seen them support experimental folk heavy weights such as The Olllam\, Aidan O’Rourke & Brìghde Chaimbeul\, Väsen\, and Hawktail. Their debut album\, released in July 2024\, received critical acclaim\, leading to a string of sold-out headline shows across Ireland\, a BBC Radio 6 New Music Fix live session\, and global radio play and press features\, including The Wire\, The Irish Times\, RTÉ\, and Mojo magazine.Their avant-folk sound has been described asIrish traditional music taken to the outer reaches where the spirits of Schoenberg and Sun Ra play with Seán Ó Riada and Tommie Potts.The trio were selected to showcase atWOMEX Manchester 2024 and Celtic Connections 2025\, securing international bookings well into 2026. 2025 has seen them perform at Eurojazz Mexico City\, Jazzycolors Paris\, Saison Pannonica Nantes\, Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival\, and Other VoicesIreland.Their Irish bookings are currently handled by Moving on Music’s ‘Middle-Aisle \n‘…absolutely special and totally unusual!’ (Caoimhe Ní Chathail\, BBC Radio Ulster)\n‘imaginative…quick witted…boldly investigating 21st century Irish identity’ (The Wire)\n‘Explosive!’(Soweto Kinch BBC Radio 3\n

SUMMARY:Heinen / Vogel / Hitchcock / Bareket / Calderazzo / Akki : The Ligeti Project
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM – 2 sets of music\n  \nLine-up:\nBruno Heinen – Piano\nHeidi Vogel – Voice\nAlex Hitchcock – Tenor saxophone\nOr Bareket – Bass\nGene Calderazzo – Drums\nSalim Akki – Percussion \nAbout:\nMarking the 20th anniversary of avant-garde master György Ligeti’s passing\, pianist Bruno Heinen—described by The Guardian as “eclectic\, eccentric\, and unobtrusively erudite”—brings a thrilling rhythmic experiment to The Vortex Jazz Club. Drawing from Ligeti’s masterpiece “Musica Ricercata\,” the ensemble fuses the composer’s eerie\, iconic soundscapes—made famous by filmmaker Stanley Kubrick—with jazz exploration. Starting from minimal melodic ideas\, the music expands into deep\, shifting grooves. Featuring a stellar lineup of Heidi Vogel (vocals)\, Alex Hitchcock (saxophone)\, NYC-bassist Or Bareket\, and an explosive two-drummer concept led by Gene Calderazzo alongside Moroccan roots/groove percussionist Salim Akki\, this performance promises an unparalleled evening of spontaneous creation\, celebrating Ligeti’s enduring genius.

SUMMARY:Milena Granci - To Some Place New
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM – 2 sets of music\n  \nLine-up:\nMilena Granci – Piano\nAitzi Cofre Real – Voice\nHarry Toulson – Alto Saxophone\nJames Pettinger – Accordion\nHarry Pearce – Double bass\nOllie Peszynski – Drum kit \n  \nAbout:\nFrench-Italian pianist and composer Milena Granci presents her debut album\, “To Some Place New”. Blending jazz with folk and cinematic influences\, she creates an immersive and emotionally rich sound world. Moving beyond traditional jazz forms\, her music unfolds through lyrical wordless melodies and layered harmonies\, inviting listeners through introspective\, melancholic and ultimately uplifting landscapes. Her music draws inspiration from artists such as Maria Schneider and John Taylor. \nJazz Views (UK)\n“To Some Place New is a patient\, assured debut from a composer who already knows what she wants to say — and an ensemble that doesn’t accompany the compositions so much as inhabit them.” \nArne Schumacher JAZZTHETIK (DE)\n“The overall sound and the evocative solos convey an uplifting\, positive spirit that endures even in the more stately\, wistful\, and romantic “narratives.” An enchanting album that could – and should – open doors.” \nBlue in Green (UK)\n“As part of the project’s efforts to transport itself and its listeners to some place new by the album’s conclusion\, we are afforded the opportunity to do so through an artist that honours reflection as much as the notion of persevering onwards.” \nParis Move (FR)\n“Her music remains deeply personal\, anchored by a melodic sensibility that gives even the album’s most complex passages an unusual emotional clarity. Milena Granci is not simply a promising jazz musician. She is a composer with the rare ability to create worlds.” \n\n
