SUMMARY:Hannes Riepler Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM – 2 set(s) of music\n  \nLine-up:\nHannes Riepler – Guitar \nDonovan Haffner – Saxophone \nNiklas Lukassen – Double Bass \nTim Giles – Drums \n  \nAbout\nHannes Riepler grew up in Austria\, studied jazz guitar in Amsterdam and moved to London in 2006\, where he dived into the vibrant scene and played all over the city alongside fellow jazzers young and old. An energetic and inventive guitar player\, spirited composer and host of the renowned Vortex Downstairs Jazz Night jam session\, he has become a mover and shaker of jazz in London himself. \nRiepler’s music is rooted in jazz tradition\, contemporary and melodic\, but always immediate and hot. Freewheeling at times\, it thrillingly swings in New York Downtown style\, which is perfectly matched by the fine musicians in his Quartet. \nHannes Riepler actively plays as bandleader and much sought-after sideman in the UK and abroad. He also holds teaching positions at Middlesex University as well as at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance.\n​\nHannes Riepler worked with (amongst many more): Noah Preminger\, Rob Garcia\, Michael Blake\, Jorge Rossi\, Felix Rossi\, Antonio Fusco\, Jason Brown\, Antonio Zambrini\, Marco Pannacia\, Anton Eger\, Andreas Lang\, Petter Eldh\, Colin Stranahan\, Jasper Blom\, Peter Ehwald\, Rob Castelli\, Maria Neckam\, Voro Garcia\, Chris Cheek\, Robert Menzel\, Nicola Ricci\, Riccardo Chiaberta\, Lukas Oravec\, Juanma Barroso\, Julien Lourau\, Nicolas Simeon\, Jonathan Lindhorst\, Mark Ayza\, Francesco Ciliglio.

SUMMARY:VORTEX LATES: DALSTON SONG CLUB W/ JAMES BRUTE
DESCRIPTION:Doors 10 PM\, Music 10:30 PM\n  \nABOUT\nOur monthly late night series brings songwriters together to perform in the round\, hosted by Matthew Herd. We’re hugely excited to welcome the remarkable James Brute as he returns to his East London stomping ground.\n\n\nJames Brute\n\nJames Brute is the band and alter-ego of James Steel\, songwriter and frontman of 2000s East London darlings The Brute Chorus. Steel’s musical narratives of love\, loss and lust have delved into ever darker and more mysterious regions since the release of debut single Bury Yourself in 2014. The warp and weft of the songs speak to the basest of our human instincts\, pulling on themes and characters both ancient and modern; arcane and mundane.\n\n\nNo longer based in London and with an even more rarified group of collaborators\, this show offers a rare chance to hear James perform new material and works in progress\, unaccompanied in an intimate setting.

SUMMARY:Chant/Edwards/Prevost w/ special guest N.O Moore.
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM – 2 set(s) of music\n  \nLine-up:\nTom Chant – Saxophone \nJohn Edwards – Double Bass \nEddie Prévost – Drums \nN.O Moore – Guitar (second set only) \n  \nAbout\nTom Chant (b. Dublin 1975) is a saxophonist and composer from London living in Barcelona. Tom focuses mainly on free improvised music which he has been involved in for 30 years.\n\nIn the mid 90’s Tom started attending Maggie Nicols’ Gathering sessions and continued for many years with Maggie giving Tom his first concert. He has worked with Eddie Prévost and John Edwards since 1997 and with them has recorded four records and toured festivals around the world. He has recorded with the London Improvisers Orchestra\, Otomo Yoshihide\, Angharad Davies\, Sharif Sehnoui\, Lê Quan Ninh\, Susana Santos Silva\, Ferran Fages and many others\, while playing concerts with a host of well known and not so well known musicians. Tom’s current practice concerns the entropy of technique and the spaces that this leaves for new vocabularies and dialogues.\n  \nJohn Edwards is a true virtuoso whose staggering range of techniques and boundless musical imagination have redefined the possibility of the double bass and dramatically expanded its role\, whether playing solo or with others.\nPerpetually in demand\, he has played with Evan Parker\, Roscoe Mitchell\, Sunny Murray\, Derek Bailey\, Joe McPhee\, Lol Coxhill\, Louis Moholo\, Peter Brötzmann\, Mulatu Astatke and countless others.\n\n“I think John Edwards is absolutely remarkable: there’s never been anything like him before\, anywhere in jazz.” – Richard Williams\, The Blue Moment\n  \nEddie Prévost “Prévost\, meanwhile\, was simply miraculous; it was fascinating to watch him and to compare his approach with that of a Kern or a Nilssen-Love. I can only say that he was possessed of an uncanny\, burning intentness that navigated the ensemble through passages of stark\, sculpted beauty\, grave concentration and full-on\, bristling energy.” ‘ Blue Tomato concert ‘— Richard Rees-Jones \n‘An excellent release from one of the finest percussionists around\, jazz or otherwise.’ review of Prévost; solo CD ‘Collider’ by Brian Olewnick — Squidsear. \n“Prévost’s free drumming flows superbly making use of his formidable technique. It’s as though there has never been an Elvin Jones or Max Roach.” – Melody Maker \n“Relentlessly innovative yet full of swing and fire.” – Morning Star\n  \nN.O. Moore is an electric guitarist with a parallel interest in electronics and drum machines. As an improviser\, he has played with people such as Eddie Prévost\, John Butcher\, Rachel Musson\, John Edwards\, Sue Lynch\, Alan Wilkinson\, Steve Noble\, and Steve Beresford. He can now be heard on a number of recordings\, including Nous (with Prévost and Jason Yarde) on Matchless\, and The Secret Handshake with Danger (with Henry Kaiser\, Binker Golding\, Olie Brice\, and Prévost) on 577. He has recently launched the DXDY Recordings label to present improvised and electronic musics: dxdyrecordings.com \nMoore is interested in the relationship between automation and autonomy\, and how this affords fabrications of human sensibility and affect. His first album of purely electronic music will be released by Orbit577 later in 2021. \n‘Moore shifts fluidly from argumentatively fractured jazz licks to spacey atmospherics to mad cat hisses; the appositeness of his contributions belies the sparseness of his recorded discography’ The Wire (Bill Meyer)

SUMMARY:Bearman/Noble/Crowley
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM – 2 set(s) of music\n  \nLine-up:\nFini Bearman – Voice \nLiam Noble – Piano \nGeorge Crowley – Tenor Saxophone \n  \nAbout\nFini Bearman\, Liam Noble and George Crowley come together for this memorable performance to explore much-loved songs from some of the great vocalists & songwriters of the last century\, including Betty Carter and Sarah Vaughan to Adrianne Lenker & Paul Simon. Through the prism of this trio they reimagine old and new songs alike\, with space\, spontaneity & playfulness. \nFor more than two decades pianist Liam Noble has been a key figure on the vibrant British Jazz scene\, both as a sideman and leader. Throughout his rich career\, Noble’s compositional eye for structure and versatility as an artist has allowed him to explore longer compositional forms and unorthodox improvisational structures in the 2001 record “In the Meantime” as well as marking a new foray into electronica in 2002 in a commission from Birmingham Jazz based on Japanese Death Poetry. He has released 2 albums with free improv trio “Sleepthief” (2008\,20011) and gained further acclaim with the Bobby Wellins Quartet on the 2009 CD “BRUBECK”\, gaining an almost unprecedented 5 star review in The Guardian. \nLondon-based singer-songwriter\, composer & multi-instrumentalist Fini Bearman whas a ‘rare sense of melody running through her eclectic compositions\, full of catchy twists and turns’. Her music melds diverse influences from jazz\, folk and contemporary music into an ‘arresting and uniquely personal’ sound. Sometimes dealing with settings of poetry and other times original lyrics\, ‘her voice\, effortlessly moves between a light precision and warm soulfulness is unmistakably her own’.\nFini’s 4th solo album ‘La Loba’ was released in 2020 and it to glowing reviews including ****’s from Jazzwise (Editors Choice)\, allaboutjazz\, The Arts Desk (album of the year). Her 5th album ‘Last Night of the World’ is due for release in March 2025 on Pastiche Records\, followed by a UK tour. \nGeorge Crowley is a saxophonist\, clarinettist\, composer and promoter based in London. Since his arrival in the capital in 2007\, Crowley has steadily established himself as a key player within the city’s burgeoning creative jazz and improv scene\, and increasingly well known further afield\, performing across the UK and Europe. As a performer he is active across a range of styles; whether infusing melodic through-composed writing with open\, searching improv in his own Can of Worms\, channelling fiery avant-parade ghosts in Brass Mask\, weaving through the polyrhythmic Ghanaian trance of Vula Viel or exploring more traditional repertoire\, Crowley’s energy and expressive\, warm saxophone sound mark him out as a musician who demands attention. He can also be found playing with bands and musicians such as Melt Yourself Down\, Julian Argüelles’ Septet\, Yazz Ahmed\, Red Snapper\, the Michael Chillingworth Septet\, Rick Simpson’s Klämmer and the Olie Brice Quartet featuring Jeff Williams. Outside of the world of jazz and improvised music he has worked with artists such as Boy George and Culture Club and Mount Kimbie. \n\n

SUMMARY:Josephine Davies’ Ensō Ensemble – ‘Celtic Wheel’ Album Launch
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:30 PM\, Music 8:30 PM – 1 set of music\n  \nLine-up:\nJosephine Davies – conductor\, composer\, arranger\, tenor saxophone \nMike Chillingworth – alto & soprano saxophone \nRachel Cohen – alto saxophone \nAdam Bishop – tenor saxophone/flute/clarinet \nGeorge Crowley – tenor saxophone/clarinet \nJames Allsopp – baritone saxophone/bass clarinet \nNoel Langley – trumpet/flugelhorn \nRuben Fowler – trumpet/flugelhorn \nNick Smart – trumpet/flugelhorn \nRobbie Robson – trumpet/flugelhorn \nAnna Drysdale – horn \nOlli Martin – trombone \nTom White – trombone \nYusuf Narcin – bass trombone \nAlcyona Mick – piano \nDave Whitford – double bass \nShane Forbes – drums \n\nAbout\nThe Ensō Ensemble – album launch of the Celtic Wheel of the Year \nThe Ensō circle is a Zen Buddhist symbol\, traditionally drawn in a single brushstroke as a meditative practice celebrating the beauty of incompletion and imperfection\, and the polarity of movement and stillness. It is an inspirational tool for award winning saxophonist and composer Josephine Davies as she plays with the balance of written music and space for improvisation. This has been the same trajectory as with her trio Satori (with drummer James Maddren and bassist Dave Whitford\, on Whirlwind Recordings)\, though now she is taking it much further with her 17 piece orchestra. \nJosephine has been writing for large ensembles for the past 15 years\, beginning during her residency as tenor saxophonist in the London Jazz Orchestra led by Scott Stroman. This was an opportunity for her to experiment with ideas and sounds\, and eventually begin her own band. Deeply inspired by a range of composers from Vince Mendoza to Stravinsky to Maria Schneider\, Josephine’s writing focuses on flowing melodies\, rich harmonies and creative use of instrumental textures. \nTonight is the official album launch of the ‘Celtic Wheel of the Year’\, released today on Ubuntu Records\, a series of 8 pieces representing the 8 parts of the Celtic Wheel\, bringing a much-needed celebration of nature\, connection\, and renewal to our fragmented times. The suite begins with Summer Solstice\, the longest and lightest day of the year and moves through the metaphorical and literal wheel\, becoming increasingly dark and tenebrous\, before returning at the end of the cycle back to light and luminosity.

SUMMARY:Whirlpool series 2. Ashley Bonfante curates
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\nAshley Bonfante presents a series of compositions and arrangements that draw their inspiration from the works of writers such as Sylvia Plath\, T.S. Eliot\, and traditional Romany folk songs. \n“This music has been specifically composed with these musicians in mind; reading can be a deeply personal thing and since the compositions arose somewhat organically out of this\, it was very important for me to write for friends who I can trust to be honest with their performances of the material – they also happen to be fantastic musicians!” \nImmy Churchill – vocals \nAshley Bonfante – alto saxophone \nJemima Whyte – alto saxophone \nRik van der Made – tenor saxophone \nJulian Woods – guitar \nColumbus Sandor – piano \nGuy Dempsey – bass \nJonah Evans – drums \nThis is the latest night of the Whirlpool series.
