SUMMARY:John Butcher / Phil Durrant / Mark Wastell
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM – 2 sets of music\n  \nLine-up:\nMark Wastell – Drums\nJohn Butcher – Saxophone\nPhil Durrant – Electric Mandolin \n  \nAbout:\nA trio that re-weaves many strands. The three initially performed together as part of the Chris Burn Ensemble in the late 1990s. In 1984 Butcher and Durrant (on violin) began an influential trio with guitarist John Russell which performed for 15 years. On one occasion with Wastell (on cello) replacing Russell. \nThereafter\, Butcher and Durrant (switching to electronics) continued as a duo. Spanning the years either side of the millennium\, Durrant and Wastell explored reductionism together in various combinations. Wastell has now moved to drums and cymbals\, a set-up which includes various parts of John Stevens’ (an inspiration for him) original Spontaneous Music Ensemble kit. And Butcher played for 2 years in the last version of Stevens’ SME (with guitarist Roger Smith). \n“Their “virtuosity” consists essentially and miraculously in constantly renewing their sonic resources almost infinitely. At once refined and abundant\, like a journey in space\, crossing stars and galaxies. Quite unique of its kind.” (Orynx – Jean-Michel Van Schouwburg) \n“…. one of the wonders of this area of music\, at least to these ears\, the essential character of the music has cohered into something palpable and breathing. Butcher generates some lovely\, slightly fluttering\, ultra-soft tones on tenor\, Wastell contributes spacious\, irregular brush caresses of drum heads and cymbals\, Durrant the occasional\, gentle twang\, all of a piece and fully formed\, ending in a fine flurry ….. a set of sounds very much residing in open air\, quite exhilarating ….. the results are extremely rewarding.” (Brian Olewnik\, Squidsear) \n

SUMMARY:Phil Robson's Organ Trio
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM – 2 sets of music\n  \nLine-up:\nPhil Robson – Guitar\nRoss Stanley – Organ\nGene Calderazzo – Drum kit \n  \nAbout:\nPhil Robson\, an incredibly versatile and creative guitar player as well as composer\, named Musician of the Year at 2009 Parliamentary Jazz Awards\, plus winning Album of the Year in 2015\, joined forces with the Hammond virtuoso Ross Stanley and the inspiring and powerful drummer Gene Calderazzo to form this all-star band in 2015 and they come together to tour regularly because they love playing together. Robson was a seminal part of the London scene for over 2 decades before moving to New York City for 5 years. He is now based in Ireland. \nThe trio play mostly Robson originals which are steeped in the swing\, groove and the organ trio tradition\, while also being contemporary with strong melodies making their music exciting but accessible to all who love to see passionate live music and real bands. \nThe exceptional musicianship of all members is unquestionable. Together\, as a band they create a very refreshing and compelling mix. The music is sensational\, played with great energy and the incredible rapport between the three members which is something that definitely sets this band apart. You will hear powerful melodies\, grooves and burning improv all melded together by the formidable blend of guitar and Hammond\, driven by Gene’s dynamic drumming. \n“This was a blast! Three superb players bringing the organ trio into the 21st Century.” Bebop Spoken Here \n“Phil Robson’s inventiveness on the guitar is unstoppable…” The Telegraph \n“Phil Robson’s music\, on a first hearing\, always gives me that feeling I haven’t yet heard right the way through it to the other side. Yes\, there are moments of beauty\, external allure\, yes there is variety. But there is also a depth which brings one back wanting to revisit\, to hear more and more….. unmissable!” UK Jazz News \n“British guitar phenomenon Phil Robson hardly needs any introduction\, save that his new musical departure is realised by an organ trio offering a smorgasbord of exciting and imaginative compositions.” All About Jazz \nAs a band leader\, Phil Robson has fronted many innovative projects including:\nThe Levy/Robson Quartet co-led with NYC saxophonist Jed Levy who release their new album in May 2026 on Livia records\, The Immeasurable Code Quintet featuring US saxophone star Mark Turner\, Six Strings & The Beat\, Phil Robson Trio with drum legend Billy Hart and James Genus on bass as well as Quartet featuring David Liebman and Jeff Williams. For 23 years Phil also co-led the cult band Partisans which was a major influence on the European “Nu-Jazz” scene. He’s also known for his work with partner & celebrated vocalist/composer Christine Tobin.

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.
