SUMMARY:Laubrock/Noble/Hunter/Pope
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM – 2 set(s) of music\nUnfortunately\, due to unforeseen circumstances\, Tom Rainey is no longer able to join the band for this UK tour. Ingrid Laubrock\, John Pope and Johnny Hunter will be joined on the Vortex stage by special guest pianist Liam Noble. \n\nLine-up:\nJohnny Hunter – Drums \nLiam Noble – Piano \nIngrid Laubrock – Saxophone \nJohn Pope – Double Bass \n  \nAbout\nAn auspicious collaboration between the US and UK improvised music scenes\, this quartet brings together two stalwart voices of the New York creative music community alongside a pair of the most in-demand collaborators in the North of England. Frequent rhythm-section colleagues with a near telepathic musical empathy\, Johnny Hunter and John Pope bring their energetic chemistry and versatile musicianship to a variety of projects across the spectrum of modern creative music\, from straight-ahead swing and hard-bop to searing fire music to the most abstract of free improvisation. This brand new ensemble features them in combination with two of the most acclaimed musicians in NYC and beyond: the long-time partnership of luminary composer and bandleader Ingrid Laubrock and master improviser Tom Rainey. This potent configuration of creative artists promises to be a thrilling example of the powers of collective music-making\, international collaboration and the wide-open possibilities of a double drum kit line-up. \nPhotos credits:  A.

SUMMARY:Reuben Goldmark Trio
DESCRIPTION:Doors 6:30 PM\, Music 7:30 PM – 1 set(s) of music\n  \nLine-up:\nReuben Goldmark – Piano \nJohn Jones – Double Bass \nJonah Evans – Drums \n  \nAbout\nBBC Young Jazz Musician finalist and twice Dankworth Prize winner Reuben Goldmark brings his newly formed piano trio to the Vortex. The group will present a set of original material featuring music that is dynamic and ever-evolving\, refusing definition and challenging the performers to create music at their absolute limit. \nReuben Goldmark\, a London-based pianist and composer\, 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 and Snape Maltings as part of the Aldeburgh Festival. He recently graduated from the Royal Academy of Music\, where he studied with Kit Downes. \nHis new piano trio explores lyrical melodies and hooks underpinned by high-tech grooves and metric modulations\, balancing the cerebral nature of contemporary jazz with a focus on strong narrative storytelling. Taking inspiration from rhythmic concepts pioneered by European jazz legends Petter Eldh and Christian Lillinger\, Reuben’s music is filled with polyrhythmic beats that question our perception of time and rhythm. Frequently the trio finds itself simultaneously playing two or even three different time signatures with ease. \n“This young man is from another planet.” – Monty Alexander \n\n \n \n

DESCRIPTION:Doors 10 PM\, Music 10:30 PM\n  \nABOUT\n\n\n\nOur monthly late night series brings songwriters together to perform in the round\, hosted by Matthew Herd. This month features one of the country’s most acclaimed and original voices\, Elanor Moss.\n\nElanor Moss\n\nElanor Moss is a London songwriter drawing inspiration from 70s folkies and short story writers. Her writing focuses on the edges of darkness and laughter\, beauty and ugliness\, violence and tenderness\, as she applies a tender lens to themes of human fallibility.\n\n\nMoss has released two acclaimed EPs: the dark autobiographical debut ‘Citrus’ and its lighter follow up ‘Cosmic’\, across which she experimented with identity and voice through genre and tone. \nFollowing the release of ‘Cosmic’ she contributed to the Chrysalis Records Nick Drake compilation album ‘The Endless Coloured Ways’ featuring on a cover of ‘Which Will’ with Christian Lee Hutson. \nMoss’s singles have seen extensive BBC6 Music support\, including a Marc Riley live session. She has performed at Green Man\, Pitchfork London and End of the Road\, and shared stages on tours with Christian Lee Hutson\, CMAT\, Indigo Sparke\, Cassandra Jenkins\, and Benjamin Francis Leftwich. \n2023 saw a sold out London headline show at St Pancras Old Church and closed with a tour opening for Poet Laureate Simon Armitage’s band LYR and with her single ’Catholic’ making it into Time Out’s “Best of 2023.” \n\n\nShe recorded her debut album earlier this year.

SUMMARY:Finn Carter Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\,  Music 8:30 PM – 1 set(s) of music\n  \nLine-up:\nFinn Carter – Piano\nKaidi Akinnibi – Tenor saxophone\nJoe MacLaren – Double bass\nBlake Cascoe – Drum kit \n  \nAbout\nThe Finn Carter Quartet comprises some of the most important up and coming London musicians. Led by pianist and composer Finn Carter\, the members of this group all approach improvising from the same perspective: trying to serve the music and remove the ego from improvising. With credits including Loyle Carner\, Rex Orange County\, Sampha and Tom Misch\, these in-demand players are all technically virtuosic\, but the music they create together is more than that; it is sensitive\, emotive and synergistic. \nThe quartet members’ shared approach to improvising is also supported by their diverse range of influences which\, combined with a deep knowledge of the jazz tradition\, allow the music to explore new territories each time they play together. Compositionally\, Carter’s tunes showcase a blending of his love of jazz\, soul\, hip-hop and free music\, which allows his music to feel both deeply personal and widely accessible. \nPlaying their first show quartet in late 2021\, the Finn Carter Quartet have had a string of successful\, sold-out shows\, including a main show at Ronnie Scott’s in May 2024 and closing out Brick Lane Jazz festival 2022. In late 2022 they went to Arda Recorders in Porto to record Carter’s debut album\, entitled ‘Hymn For My Dad’\, which will be released September 2024. \n\n

DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM – 2 set(s) of music\n  \nLine-up:\nClaire Cope – Piano / Synth \nBrigitte Beraha – Voice \nFreddie Gavita\, Mike Soper  – Trumpet / Flugel \nAnoushka Nanguy – Trombone \nMatt Carmichael – Tenor Saxophone \nRob Cope – Baritone Sax / Bass Clarinet / Flute \nAnt Law – Guitar \nGavin Barras – Double Bass \nJon Ormston – Drums \nJack McCarthy – Percussion \n  \nAbout\nComposer and pianist Claire Cope leads her newly expanded ‘Ensemble C’ in an exciting presentation of new music from their upcoming second album ‘Every Journey’. A joyful celebration of melody and harmonic exploration that intertwines personal emotion with the powerful stories of historically adventurous women\, the ensemble brings together some of the most talented artists from across the UK jazz scene. \nSince releasing her debut album with contemporary jazz group ‘Ensemble C’ in 2020\, Claire Cope has continued to steadily grow her presence as a composer across both jazz and contemporary classical music and her music has been performed in Europe and America. Winner of a 2022 Marvin Hamlisch International Award in Jazz Composition\, the LunArt Festival Call for Scores in 2024 and recipient of an Arts Council DYCP grant in 2023\, she has expanded her band into an exciting 11-piece project that brings together celebrated jazz musicians from London\, the North West and Scotland. Joined by the great talents of Brigitte Beraha\, Ant Law\, Matt Carmichael and Anoushka Nanguy amongst others\, her latest music pushes her vision of contemporary jazz with long form pieces reflective of her love of composers such as Pat Metheny and Maria Schenider. Claire’s music is a joyful and uplifting celebration of courage and finding inner peace\, intertwining both her own narrative with the powerful stories of historically adventurous women. \nIn this performance\, the band will present entirely new music from their new album\, which will be released on New York based Adhyaropa Records in early 2025. \n“Ensemble C’s debut album forecasts a promising future for Cope as a composer\, concretizing a versatile vision of contemporary jazz that never loses direction.” – JAZZTRAIL\, NEW YORK \n “This album is full of choices\, decisions\, an intricate working between the musicians and as a voyage through life is working and full of promise at times\, whilst calm and reflective at others. Very enjoyable and the music reveals Cope as a musician with a deep sense of communication and musical community.” – SAMMY STEIN\, JAZZ VIEWS \n“Composer and pianist Claire Cope has released a stunning debut album entitled ‘Small World’. Inspired by her love of travelling and human experience and connections\, Claire along with her fantastic band\, Ensemble C\, take us on a wistful and fulfilling journey. Each track has a varied and unique inspiration that is communicated through the music beautifully.” – FIONA ROSS\, JAZZ IN EUROPE \n  \nPhoto credit: Forshaw Media
