SUMMARY:Tivon Pennicott Quartet // Album Release
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:30 PM\, Music 8:00 PM – 2 set(s) of music\n  \nLine-up:\nTivon Pennicott – Saxophone \nIdris Frederick – Piano \nKen Salters – Drums \nDean Torrey – Double bass \n  \nAbout\nFor years\, Tivon Pennicott has been transporting audiences and listeners to a higher level of consciousness. The highly sought saxophone player\, composer and multi-instrumentalist is a key contributor to three GRAMMY Award winning albums\, appearing on Esperanza Spalding’s disruptive recording Radio Music Society (Heads Up International\, 2012)\, and Gregory Porter’s Liquid Spirit (Blue Note\, 2013) and Take Me to the Alley (Blue Note\, 2017). \nHe has collaborated with such visionaries as Roy Hargrove and his RH Factor project\, and Ari Hoenig as a core member of his band and key player on The Pauper & the Magician (AH-HA\, 2016) and NY Standard (Fresh Sound Records\, 2018). On screen\, he has become a fixture on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” as a regular member of the Stay Human Band with Jon Batiste\, an artist with whom he has played a week long engagement at The Village Vanguard. \nAs a player\, Pennicott expresses an evolving sound—the result of a soulful and sophisticated foundation for groove he honed in the church and through his Jamaican heritage\, and a penchant for harmonic exploration that reflects the depth of his ear. While he has played an elemental role in advancing and transforming sounds of many innovative artists\, Pennicott’s work as a leader is only beginning. In 2014\, Pennicott released his debut recording Lover of Nature on New Phrase Records. As his career continues its upward trajectory\, Pennicott most recently released his soul filling sophomore recording in the fall of 2020\, Spirit Garden (self released)\, featuring a 26 piece string orchestra along side several combinations of a chord-less quartet. It is his most audacious endeavor\, delightfully composing\, orchestrating\, and performing on his own musical canvas. With a new series of single releases Tivon shows his versatility as an artist\, combining his skills as a saxophone player with his abilities as a singer\, producer and composer. \nPhoto credit: Izidor \n\n

SUMMARY:Nick Costley-White Trio
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM – 2 set(s) of music\n  \nLine-up:\nNick Costley-White – Guitar \nDave Whitford – Double bass \nJosh Morrison – Drums \n  \nAbout\nAcclaimed UK guitarist Nick Costley-White leads his trio featuring Dave Whitford (Billy Hart\, Dave Leibman) on bass and Josh Morrison (Stacey Kent\, Dave O’Higgins) on drums. \nHaving notched up hundreds of hours on the bandstand together\, they’ve honed their trio sound over the course of years of gigging on the London jazz circuit. Expect swinging and dynamic improvising from three of the most in-demand players in the country. \nIn 2023 they released their EP “Nice Work!” and toured the UK as a trio with special guests Jason Rebello\, Will Barry and Ross Stanley. Hear them now in their original trio format as they get stuck into new material inspired by the explorative sounds of 60s post bop. \n‘I was struck by the sheer presence and melodic heft and ease of Nick Costley-White’s playing. The ideas flow naturally\, the sound is gorgeous\, there’s just nothing missing’ (Sebastian Scotney\, London Jazz News) \n\n

SUMMARY:Matt Anderson Quartet 'Live at Leeds Jazz Festival' Album Launch w/ Will Vinson
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM – 2 set(s) of music\n  \nLine-up:\nMatt Anderson – Tenor Saxophone \nAlberto Palau – Piano \nWill Harris – Double bass \nJay Davis – Drums \nSpecial Guest Will Vinson – Saxophone\n  \nAbout\nLondon-based saxophonist and Dankworth Prize-winning composer Matt Anderson presents his fourth album\, Live at Leeds Jazz Festival\, which follows 2022’s The Town and the City also by this long-running quartet. This live recording from the middle of their May 2023 U.K. tour is a snapshot of the band at their best: stretching out on a set of original tunes with a characteristically open\, interactive and risk-taking approach. The roots of jazz are never far away\, with a rhythmic feel and blues sensibility that is anchored in the tradition\, however the music also expands into other areas such as modal and contemporary harmony and British folk-style melodies\, giving the group a distinctive identity. \nBorn in the North Yorkshire Moors\, the son of a music teacher and based in Leeds for a time\, Matt has lived in London since 2015. Becoming part of the fertile jazz scene in the capital\, he has since performed with artists/bands such as Greg Hutchinson (with the Jiannis Pavlidis Quintet)\, Ivo Neame\, the Gareth Lockrane and Calum Gourlay big bands\, Jamie Doe’s Magic Lantern and Hannes Riepler\, and he has also toured in New Zealand\, Eastern Europe and Scandinavia. In 2023\, he became a D’Addario Woodwinds artist and was also made an Associate of the Royal Academy of Music for contributions to the music industry. \nThe members of the Matt Anderson Quartet met during Masters studies at the Royal Academy of Music in 2015\, forging an instant bond which has kept them together since. Alberto Palau is an immensely talented pianist originally from Valencia\, Spain. Now based in London\, his experiences living in Boston and New York and working with artists such as Perico Sambeat and Charles McPherson make him much in-demand from leading British musicians. Jay Davis is one of the busiest drummers on the London scene\, featuring for example in the Alex Hitchcock Quintet\, Big Bad Wolf and his own group BadTrad. Will Harris’ remarkable bass playing has put him in high demand in the South-West where he has been based for many years\, and after spending time in London he has become an increasingly popular choice of bassist in the capital as well. \nWorking together frequently over the past eight years\, the band have developed a deep connection\, touring extensively across the U.K. as well as appearing at venues such as the Bimhuis\, Amsterdam; Jamboree\, Barcelona and Jimmy Glass\, Valencia and receiving support from Help Musicians and Arts Council England. \n\n \n  \nLive at Leeds Jazz Festival de Matt Anderson Quartet

SUMMARY:The Music of Horace Silver
DESCRIPTION:Line-up\nDavid Miller – Saxophone \nEric Lounsbury – Trumpet \nMichael Richardson – Piano \nSantiago Horro – Bass \nDuncan McKenzie – Drums\n  \nAbout\n\n\n\n\nCelebrating one of Hard Bop’s greatest composers. \nHorace Silver was one of the key figures in defining the sound of hard bop in the 1950s. After leaving the Jazz Messengers he led his own band for four decades as a vehicle for his own compositions\, many of which are found on now classic Blue Note recordings. \nFor this show we will be presenting a selection of his tunes that display the range of his compositional talents\, often featuring heavy blues and gospel influences\, rhythms unusual in jazz at the time and arresting harmony. As well as giving a nod to some of the tunes that have gone on to be jazz standards in their own right\, you’ll also hear some tunes much less commonly heard live\, in the small group jazz setting they were written for. \nFollowing on from the band’s previous sell out shows at the Vortex featuring the music of Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers\, Miles Davis\, Wayne Shorter and Thelonious Monk \, we return to present a celebration of another of the all time jazz greats.

SUMMARY:Blueblut / Seb Rochford - Pamelia Stickney Duo - DOUBLE BILL
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM – 2 set(s) of music\n  \nLine-up:\nMark Holub – Drums \nPamelia Stickney – Theremin \nChris Janka – Guitar \nSeb Rochford – Drums \n  \nAbout\n  \nBlueblut \nEmerging from Vienna’s thriving underground music scene\, Blueblut is arguably one of its most intriguing combos. The trio\, founded by three musical powerhouses\, famous in their respective spheres of jazz\, electronic and avant-rock music\, have the intensity of rock\, the space and openness of electronica and the razor sharp precision and wild improvisation of jazz. \nIn Blueblut’s now ten year history\, they have wowed audiences across Europe\, Japan and South America on their relentless touring\, being described as “…the most effective wake-up call you could ever experience” by taste-maker blog Louder Than War and picking up praise across the pond with the Brooklyn Rail(U.S.) declaring “Most of these tunes come across like highly abstracted\, well-executed cover versions of pop songs that never were.” As well as featuring on the ‘German Record Critics’ Award’ quarterly ‘Critics Choice’ list. \nPamelia Stickney is probably the most recognisable player of the theremin in the world today\, being key in the instrument’s development she is the number one go-to theremin player. Alongside her own compositions and releases she has performed with the likes of Yoko Ono and David Byrne. Mark Holub is best known as the animated Anglo-American drummer and bandleader of London based and Mercury Prize nominated jazz-rock outfit Led Bib. Holub recently decamped from London to set up home in Vienna. Flying machine maker\, sound engineer\, guitarist and automata creator Chris Janka is a kind of Viennese Caractacus Potts figure with a basement studio to rival Peter Blake’s. He also recorded\, engineered and mastered all the records. \n  \nSeb Rochford & Pamelia Stickney   \nAlthough aware of one another for a number of years\, Seb and Pamelia first played together at the suggestion of Brighton’s Loop Festival\, and subsequently recorded this album’s material in a Brighton studio\, in a number of free improvised sessions then edited by Seb. Portishead’s Adrian Utley added his unique mixing angle\, and Ouch Evil Slow Hop was born. \n  \n \n  \n

SUMMARY:London Jazz Orchestra / Pete Saberton
DESCRIPTION:Doors 3:00 PM\, Music 3:30 PM\n  \nABOUT\nAs a spring-time treat\, the London Jazz Orchestra returns to the music of phenomenal pianist and composer Pete Saberton\, whose unique writing and playing style helped define the sound of the band. Taking over from founding pianist John Taylor and succeeded by current pianist-composer Alcyona Mick\, Pete was the LJO’s pianist for over 20 years\, producing a string of totally original and delightful pieces\, many which the LJO recorded on The Saberton Album . \nInspired by his music\, for this performance close friend and colleague Pete Hurt has created new arrangements of tunes that Sabbo wasn’t able to complete for the band. There truly has been no-one like him!
