SUMMARY:Being Human - Minar of Dreams (Album Launch)
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM – 2 sets of music\n  \nLine-up:\nMindaugas Stumbras – Guitar\nMattia Galeotti – Drums\nMichelangelo Scandroglio – Double bass\nFergus McCreadie – Piano \n  \nAbout:\nPan-European contemporary jazz quartet Being Human are a band built across borders. Bringing together acclaimed Lithuanian guitarist Mindaugas Stumbras\, Mercury Prize-nominated Scottish pianist Fergus McCreadie\, and a celebrated Tuscan rhythm section complete with Michelangelo Scandroglio (LVDF) and Mattia Galeotti\, the group are united by a musical language that reaches beyond geography – folding the folk traditions of their respective homes into lyrical contemporary jazz\, vivid melodic storytelling and free-flowing improvisation. \nNine years in the making\, their story is rooted first and foremost in friendship. Scandroglio\, Galeotti and Stumbras first crossed paths at the Siena Jazz Summer Workshop in Italy\, before Stumbras invited fellow Royal Conservatoire of Scotland student McCreadie into the fold. A formative Italian tour followed\, setting in motion an unlikely musical relationship between four musicians living across four different countries. Through the logistical challenges of distance and the disruption of the pandemic\, that connection has endured\, developing across years of touring into a distinctive collective voice. \nReleasing on Friday 6th November via Bridge The Gap\, the group’s new album ‘Minar of Dreams’ is the clearest articulation of that voice yet. Following their self-titled 2021 debut\, the quartet began to question what truly defined Being Human: what should this combination of four distinct musical backgrounds sound like when distilled into one? During a drive through the Scottish Highlands\, they set themselves a challenge – to compose a new body of original music that drew instinctively from their individual cultural traditions\, while placing the collective ahead of any one voice. The result is colourful\, intense and dreamlike: folk-rooted melodies drift through restless harmonic movement\, and moments of uninhibited improvisation. \n

SUMMARY:Finn Carter\, Matt Carmichael & Alex Hitchcock
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM – 2 sets of music\n  \nLine-up:\nFinn Carter – Piano\nMatt Carmichael – Tenor saxophone\nAlex Hitchcock – Tenor Saxophone \nAbout:\nPart of Finn Carter’s monthly residency at the Vortex\, showcasing a new project each month. \nMatt Carmichael\nHeralded by BBC Music Magazine as “a distinctive new voice in a crowded scene\,” Scottish saxophonist and composer Matt Carmichael continues to move from strength to strength and grow his reach globally with his powerfully emotive blend of melodic jazz and folk music. Born just outside of Inverness before moving to Glasgow\, where\, at the age of 11\, he enthusiastically ran home from school clutching a letter from his local music service offering saxophone lessons. Music instantly became his passion\, and he soon began writing music for his own band\, performing their first gig at the Butterfly and Pig in Glasgow — before half the band were legally allowed in the pub. \nSince then\, the band has developed a special chemistry and sound together\, grounded in collective improvisation. They regularly perform internationally at venues like Bimhuis\, Fasching\, Celtic Connections\, Ronnie Scott’s\, and Love Supreme\, as well as Matt working as a soloist and arranger with the Grammy Award-winning WDR Big Band and the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra. \nFollowing his critically acclaimed debut Where Will the River Flow (which amassed over 10 million streams)\, Carmichael signed to the renowned label Edition Records for his second album\, Marram. His latest album\, Dancing with Embers included collaborations with Rachel Sermanni and Brìghde Chaimbeul and was shortlisted for the multi-genre SAY awards as well as winning ‘Best Album’ in the Scottish Jazz Awards. The next one ‘Held in the Dark’ comes out October 26. \nAlex Hitchcock\nLondon-born Alex Hitchcock is a leading international voice on the saxophone. An Ivor Novello-nominated composer and described by The Guardian as a “virtuoso” saxophonist\, his innovative collaborations have confirmed a growing reputation as a catalyst for musical encounters that continually push the envelope a little further. \nAn awarded composer and recording artist\, Hitchcock has released music as a leader on New Soil\, Edition Records\, Whirlwind Recordings\, and Fresh Sound New Talent. Dream Band: Live in London (2023) was Jazzwise Editor’s Album of the Year. Recognition for his work includes the Peter Whittingham Award\, the Conad Jazz Prize at the Umbria Jazz Festival\, and selection for Sound and Music’s In Motion cohort in 2026. Working between London and New York resulted in Letters From Afar (2025)\, which was selected as a Stereogum and NPR Album of the Week. He arranged and performed on Jasper Høiby’s 2025 release We Must Fight\, reworking the landmark Phronesis catalogue for an oud\, flute\, and saxophone frontline. \nHis work has been featured by the BBC\, France Musique\, WDR\, JazzFM\, Worldwide FM\, and in publications including DownBeat\, MOJO\, Jazzwise\, Musica Jazz\, Stereogum\, and Uncut. He has become known for distinctive contributions in a wide variety of musical contexts. His own music is at times intense and chaotic\, at others disarmingly sparse and emotionally direct\, inspired by the radical tradition of Black American 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.

SUMMARY:Jure Pukl - ANALOG AI (Two Shows)
DESCRIPTION:Timings:\n*Please note each ticket will give you access to the time slot you book for. Please arrive for the door time.\n1st Show\nDoors 7:00 PM\, Music 7:30 PM – 1 set of music\n2nd Show\nDoors 9:30 PM\, Music 10:00 PM – 1 set of music\n\nLine-up:\nJure Pukl – Tenor saxophone & Soprano Saxophone\nJohn Escreet – Piano\nJoe Sanders – Double bass\nChristian Lillinger – Drum kit \n  \nAbout:\nA musical imitation of analogue artificial intelligence. 
Broken\, technically sophisticated rhythms\, modern lyrical bass lines\, robust saxophone sounds and unpredictable improvisation constitutes the language of this new band of old friends.
Their musical expression is a response to AI\, as they insist that music is still at it’s most powerful\, beautiful\, most wild\, lyrical and sensual when performed by musicians in the moment and before a live audience.
After making his highly praised albums ‘Broken Circles’ and ‘Melt’ (Whirlwind Recordings)\, Jure Pukl\, one of Slovenia’s most acclaimed musicians and his project Analog AI are embarking on a tour to present the material from their forthcoming album. \n\n
