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.”)

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.

SUMMARY:Reuben Goldmark Trio
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM – 2 sets of music\n  \nLine-up:\nReuben Goldmark – Piano\nFreddie Jensen – Double bass\nJonah Evans – Drum kit \n  \nAbout:\nReuben Goldmark returns to the Vortex with his trio to premiere a brand new set of original compositions. \nOver the past four years\, the band has developed a unique approach to the classic piano trio format. Lyrical melodies and hooks playfully dance over high-tech beats and grooves that seem to have a life of their own — constantly in flux and transforming at will. Their sound is compact and focused\, with the leader’s unmistakable piano touch in the foreground. United as a single entity\, they navigate intricate polyrhythms and metric modulations with such ease that the complexity fades into the periphery\, revealing music filled with emotion and rooted in joy. \nReuben was a finalist in the esteemed BBC Young Jazz Musician of the Year competition and his compositions were featured on BBC 4 and BBC Radio 3. He was awarded the Dankworth Prize for Jazz Composition in both 2022 and 2023\, making him the first ever back-to-back recipient of the award. As a performer\, he has graced numerous prestigious venues across the UK\, including select appearances at the Queen Elizabeth Hall as part of the EFG London Jazz Festival\, Snape Maltings as part of the Aldeburgh Festival and Saffron Hall. Reuben is a Worshipful Company of Musicians’ Young Artist. He recorded his debut album in April 2025. Produced by mentor and friend Kit Downes\, it is set to be released in mid-2027 and will also feature two of Amsterdam’s most in demand musicians: Reinier Baas on guitar and Ketija Ringa-Karahona on flute.

SUMMARY:Leif Kaner-Lidström
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM – 2 sets of music\n  \nLine-up:\nLeif Kaner-Lidström – Piano\nHugo Piper – Bass guitar\nKaidi Akinnibi – Saxophone\nAlex Cosmo Blake – Guitar\nJack Robson – Drum kit \nAbout:\nLeif Kaner-Lidströms style has been described as a cinematic odyssey of music\, inspired at its roots by classical form and melody consisting of through-composed compositions\, where folk-like harmony and soulful rhythm shine through a veil of intricate and technically challenging virtuosity. \nLeif Kaner-Lidström is a composer and pianist from South East London. Born into a musical family\, Leif began playing piano at 7 and wrote his first piece of music at 10. Since then his music has had the support of the likes of Elton John\, Craig Charles\, Gilles Peterson\, Jamz Supernova\, Moses Boyd and Soweto Kinch on National and International Radio. \nHe is known as a classical pianist\, most recently through his album ‘Swans’ with his cellist father on Hyperion Records\, and performing around the world with stars in that field such as Jess Gillam or Anne Sofie von Otter. On the other hand he goes by the alias Erik Sigurd\, with a whole catalogue of solo piano music that has garnered millions of streams worldwide. \nLeif is a member of the boundary-pushing Levitation Orchestra\, known for exploring new frontiers in jazz through collective composition\, with their third studio album releasing later this year on 5db Records. His debut vinyl under the pseudonym Eriksson Kaner\, Ithaca\, was a collaboration with Sacha Create\, and feature luminaries such as Kaidi Akinnibi\, James Akers\, and Rudi Creswick\, while his sophomore release “The Purpose” features James Mollison of Ezra Collective\, and Alex Cosmo Blake. Both records have been released through the label he founded with prominent South London producer Mom Tudie\, Lordship Loft Recordings. \n\n
