SUMMARY:Ed Jones Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM – 2 sets of music\n  \nLine-up:\nEd Jones – Tenor saxophone\nRoss Stanley – Piano\nRiaan Vosloo – Double bass\nTim Giles – Drum kit \n  \nAbout:\nAward-winning saxophonist and composer Ed Jones returns to the quartet format that first established his presence on the UK jazz scene over three decades ago. Formed in 2011\, the ensemble initially drew inspiration from the music of Wayne Shorter\, but has since evolved into a dynamic collective where original compositions by Jones and bassist Riaan Vosloo take centre stage\, shaped through the creative interplay of pianist Ross Stanley and drummer Tim Giles. \nThrough extensive touring\, the quartet has forged a distinctive collective sound where fiercely driven\, intense ‘fire music’ converges with atmospheric\, improvisational soundscapes. This is evident in both their strikingly original compositions and their innovative interpretations of the American Songbook. \nPlus\, straight after this gig\, the Vortex Jazz Club is hosting a watch party to celebrate England VS Panama in the football world cup. Join us from 10.30pm to watch the game on our projector and sound system. As the gig finishes at 22:30\, so we will be showing the game from this time onwards (Kick-Off is at 22:00 – Approx End 23.45 unless extra time is needed). \n\n

SUMMARY:Breen & Boizi
DESCRIPTION:Doors 6:45 PM\, Music 7:15 PM – 1 set of music\n  \nLine-up:\nLauren Breen – Alto saxophone\nChrist-Stéphane Boizi – Trombone\nTom Sheen – Double bass\nOscar Brady – Piano\nMiranda Radford – Drum kit \n  \nAbout:\nLauren Breen and Christ-Stéphane Boizi are both composers and improvisers in their own right\, and now this dynamic duo have joined forces to lead a new and up-coming band. They have performed together for years in Christ-Stéphane’s sextet\, however\, this new project showcases both Breen and Boizi’s compositions\, alongside a killing young rhythm section. In previous projects they have played at venues such as Pizza Express Soho\, the Elgar Room (the Royal Albert Hall) and the Jazz Cafe\, and their years of friendship and sharing the stage\, really comes through in their frontline playing. Breen’s powerful and bright tone blends beautifully with Boizi’s warm\, soulful sound\, creating an iconic and exciting hardbop frontline. They both met at Tomorrow’s Warriors and have continued studying together at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance\, where they are in their final year. \nLauren Breen is an exciting up-coming alto saxophonist who draws inspiration from a lineage of powerful and dynamic alto players\, including Cannonball Adderley\, Jackie McLean\, and Vincent Herring. These figures\, as well as learning from Tony Kofi\, Rachel Cohen and Jean Toussaint\, have played a significant role in her growth as both an improviser and a composer\, enabling her to project a rich sound over her swinging contemporary compositions\, which have a hard-bop style. She is already a part of London’s vibrant Jazz scene\, and has performed at Brick Lane Jazz Festival\, Pizza Express Live Soho and the Jazz Cafe\, to name a few.\nAn exciting new voice on the London Jazz scene\, Christ-Stéphane Boizi’s music is at once a vibrant celebration of Jazz’s great past\, very much in the present and looking to the future. Notable for his inquisitive studious approach\, relaxed poise and warm leadership\, Boizi is a student of melody\, harmony\, rhythm and soul\, striving to hone in on what makes the work of greats from across the rich history of jazz so powerful\, and to apply these learnings in his own music. He has learnt from the great Byron Wallen\, Trevor Mires and Winston Rollins. \n\n

SUMMARY:Anatole Muster
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:30 PM\, Music 8:00 PM – 1 set of music\n  \nLine-up:\nAnatole Muster – Accordion\nHugo Piper – Bass guitar\nKing Ike-Elechi – Drum kit \n  \nAbout:\nAnatole Muster is in the process of re-defining what the accordion can do\, and is actively bringing the instrument to a wider audience. The most obvious sign of that desire to experiment and innovate is what audiences see at his live shows: he plays not just the traditional button accordion\, but also two additional instruments: a Laptop keyboard\, and MIDI-controlled “breathalyzer” synth\, a brand new invention that he has co-developed with engineer Elio Fistarol.\nHe is also building a global network of close collaborators with a wide range of musical leanings\, from LA heavyweights Kiefer and Louis Cole to Tennyson from Canada and Matthew Field (Beatenberg\, M Field) from South Africa\, while also keeping a foot in jazz and fusion through leading bassists such as Hadrien Feraud from France and Federico Heliodoro from Brazil. Many of these important and formative connections have come from meeting people via Instagram messaging\, and then discovering and gradually developing shared musical enthusiasms – “Internet culture shaped me\,” says Anatole Muster.\nHis two albums have seen a rapid progression and a strengthening of his musical identity: after the release of “Wonderful Now” in early 2024\, Muster found that it was the sections where he had been boldest in experimenting that received the most enthusiastic responses\, which encouraged him to go for “the sound I really want to hear”. So the 2025 album ‘hopecore’ is a veritable tour de force. He skates effortlessly through hyperpop\, 80s jazz fusion\, Midwest emo\, plugg\, Brazilian jazz…and yet the style\, the vibe which emerges – uplifting\, optimistic\, making light of complexity – is unmistakably Anatole’s. \nHe emerged in summer 2025 with first class honours degree from his time as a student on the jazz course at the Royal Academy of Music in London\, an experience which above all gave him the chance to work with teachers who have mentored some of the most creative new voices in music\, and who reinforced and encouraged his individuality. \nAs Anatole Muster’s collaborations develop\, a distinctive\, expressive\, and perhaps above all joyous musical voice is emerging\, and getting noticed. His total streams across all platforms approach ten million\, and the audiences at recent live shows – two sold out shows at Ronnie Scott’s\, Rio Montreux Jazz Festival\, a completely full Jazz Cafe album launch… – have been “genuinely excited” by this “crazy talent”. \nPromoters and critics are noticing too:\n– “His unique way of blending this instrument with contemporary and urban sounds gives the accordion a new lease of life\, and adds a fresh edge to his music\, sometimes taking it into pop\, soul or electro territory.” (Viviane Rychner Raouf\, Montreux Artists Foundation)\n– “His effervescent playing really shines.” (Jazzwise).\n– “He knows how to communicate joy.” (UK Jazz News)\n– “He is just one of the most talented young musicians out there. I love his playing\, his note choice\, his production\, his attitude\, his choice of musicians—he’s truly superlative.” (Anthony Garone / Make Weird Music.”)

SUMMARY:Phillip Golub/Alex Hitchcock/Andrew Lisle
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM – 2 sets of music\n  \nLine-up:\nPhillip Golub – Piano\nAlex Hitchcock – Tenor saxophone\nAndrew Lisle – Drum kit \n  \nAbout\nNew York and London improvising scenes collide as Phillip Golub\, Alex Hitchcock and Andrew Lisle explore new settings of their own music as well as Ornette Coleman\, Anthony Braxton and Paul Motian. \nPhillip Golub\, “a musician in fast ascent” (Wall Street Journal) and “a brilliant improviser” (JazzTimes)\, is a pianist\, improviser\, and composer based in Brooklyn\, NY. Originally from Los Angeles\, he creates highly original and expressive music\, grounded in but not constrained by his engaged practice in jazz\, creative music\, and new music. Technically audacious\, Golub sublates distant sound worlds\, negating conventions\, yet building on traditions. \nGolub has been described by critics as “a polymath who elides any divide between improvised and composed music\, or jazz and contemporary approaches […] whose practice can’t be contained by genre or discipline” (The Wire Magazine) and as an artist with “seemingly boundless creativity” (Downbeat). His recordings have been praised as “cutting edge” (Sequence 21)\, while containing “a profound concept […] triumphant […] fascinating” (Pop Matters). As a player\, he has been noted for bringing “assurance\, charisma\, and infectious enthusiasm” (Steve Smith) to his performances and manifesting “exhilarating energy\, charisma\, and a canny ability to transform the complex and even inscrutable into sophisticated yet joyful noise” (Allmusic.com). \nGolub is in demand as a pianist on New York’s jazz\, creative music\, and world music stages\, performing and recording with a wide variety of artists such as Layale Chaker\, DoYeon Kim\, Lesley Mok\, Anna Webber\, Amir ElSaffar\, Brad Shepik\, Aynur Doğan\, and Seajun Kwon. He has performed across the world at venues and festivals in Europe\, North America\, and Asia.
