SUMMARY:Tim Whitehead Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM – 2 set(s) of music\n  \nLine-up:\nTim Whitehead – Saxophones \nDavid Gordon – Piano \nDave Whitford – Double Bass \nTom Hooper – Drums \n  \nAbout\nTim Whitehead was born in Liverpool \, the son of one of the original writers of Dennis the Menace in the children’s comic\, The Beano. His first public performance was as solo clarinettist in his school orchestra’s rendition of Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto\, conducted by his fellow pupil\, the now knighted\, Sir Simon Rattle. From this promising musical beginning\, Tim decided to follow a career in Law\, but was pulled back to music\, and more specifically jazz\, soon\nafter qualifying. \nDuring his career\, Tim has played extensively throughout the UK and Europe\, and more recently in the USA with American pianist Phil DeGreg. \n“Whitehead has a highly personal\, always gorgeous sound on tenor and an infinite vocabulary – in a country of fine saxophonists he is one of the finest.” Peter Bacon\, Jazz CD of the Week\, Birmingham Post ***** \n“There are many fine tenor players on the current British scene but Tim Whitehead is undoubtedly one of the best we have” Peter Lund – Crescendo \n“Whitehead’s music always stands on its own feet.” John Fordham -The Guardian \n“He is a prodigious tenor player whose graceful compositions always rise above the mere technicalities of the conservatoire… Amid the crowd of anonymous\, garrulous and hard-edged tenor saxophonists\, Tim Whitehead’s music is marked by a sense of grace and economy.” Clive Davis – The Times \n

SUMMARY:Marble Sun - A Listening Experience
DESCRIPTION:Drawing on their shared background as jazz musicians\, electronic/vocal duo Marble Sun are part of a growing movement of British electronic artists incorporating organic elements into their sound – using live synthesisers to blend Tim Davies’s expansive soundscapes & infectious dance rhythms (Floating Points\, Overmono\, Jon Hopkins) with Olivia Williams’s raw\, intimate vocals (London Grammar\, Lianne La Havas\, Sade). \nJoin us for a different kind of evening at the Vortex\, as Marble Sun unveil their second EP in a unique immersive listening experience. The 4 tracks from their upcoming record have been woven together into one continuous work exclusively for this event and will be played in hi-fidelity stereo sound – an opportunity to surrender to the act of listening and hear this recorded music as the artists intended. \nWith a Q&A from Marble Sun on the making of the music\, art by Leeds artist Aidan Wyldbore\, and the chance to reflect and discuss over a drink following the event\, this is a must for audiophiles or anyone interested in the limitless sonic possibilities of synthesis. \nTicketholders who pre-order the EP will receive a download card at the event giving exclusive early access to the EP + unique extended audio

SUMMARY:Ed Jones Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM – 2 set(s) of music\n  \nLine-up:\nEd Jones – Tenor & Soprano Sax \nRick Simpson – Piano \nRiaan Vosloo – Double Bass \nTim Giles – Drums \n  \nAbout\nAward-winning Saxophonist/Composer Ed Jones returns to the quartet format with which he first made his name on the UK jazz scene over 30 years ago. This current line-Quartet was formed in 2011 and initially inspired by the music of Wayne Shorter has branched out to feature exhilarating original new compositions from Jones and bassist Riaan Vosloo. During this time through many tours\, the Quartet have formed a unique identity of powerfully driven fire music with atmospheric improvised soundscapes drawing both from original compositions with arrangements and fresh interpretations of the American songbook repertoire. \nTheir last Recording the acclaimed “For Your Ears Only” was released in Autumn 2017 on Impossible Ark Records with a 20-date UK tour supported by the Arts Council of England. In Autumn 2023 and Winter 2024\, the Quartet will be touring the UK featuring new music that will be recorded later in 2024. \n“For Best gigs of the year Ed Jones at Lauderdale House-with all the swagger and sound of Rollins in his prime (with Ross Stanley\, Riaan Vosloo and Tim Giles) – came close to choose for Musician/Band of the Year.” LondonJazzNews.com \n”A formidable saxophonist. Ed Jones may have hit his highest profile through his work with bands US3 and Incognito\, but he’s an improviser to his fingertips\, a player of forceful imagination\, and one of the UK’s most distinctive saxophonists.” John Fordham The Guardian. \n”The Vigorous\, sometimes downright volcanic tenor sound of Ed Jones has long been one of the great live delights of British Jazz. His barnstorming ‘terrier with a rat’ approach raises the music’s temperature whenever he solos “. Chris Parker\, Jazzwise. \n“Risk-taking arrangements and compositions\, seriously engaging territory”  Tom Barlow Jazzwise \n\n  \n \n

SUMMARY:Floating Circles - 'Spectrums' Album Launch
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM – 2 set(s) of music\n  \nLine-up:\nAidan Pearson – Bass Clarinet \nJonny Wickham – Bass Guitar \nMatt Hurley – Electric Guitar \nJohanna Burnheart – Violin \nMatt Parkinson – Drums \n  \nAbout\nFloating Circles is an exciting UK jazz quintet lead by clarinettist Aidan Pearson. The name Floating Circles is inspired by the group’s compositional approach; it’s intended to invoke imagery of circles floating freely into new territories yet preserving their shape\, which represents adapting music to different styles whilst keeping the core of the sound the same no matter where it goes. \nThe group’s music takes influence from a wide range of styles including ambient\, rock\, hip-hop\, world music\, Arabic and Brazilian music\, making for an eclectic and forward thinking outfit. \nSpectrums is Floating Circles’ third release\, and sees the group expand and develop their sound to make use of spoken word storytelling\, electronica violin\, bass clarinet wails and a wide range of infectious grooves. The ‘spectrum’ concept is mirrored in the album’s progression from minor to major keys\, with dark beginnings through a sense of change to a joyous resolution. As said in the prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi ‘where there be darkness\, light\,’ the group explores the concept of light only existing relative to darkness\, by taking the listener on a spectral journey full of musical contrast and wonder. \nCommenting on the first of four singles from this new album\, popular music blog No Transmission said their track Clinging to the Weekend’s End is ‘Upbeat to a contagious level….. listening to this track perks the spirit and is quite an espresso shot in the morning… these musicians simply sound happy to be playing songs that sound like they were happily written.’\nThe band is highly melodic and accessible yet daring and original\, or as critic Mike Mineo from Obscure Sound said: “wonderfully dizzying… full of energy and creativity.” \nCreative jazz violinist Johanna Burnheart (voted number 2 in Downbeat US critics poll for Rising star on violin) is an integral part of the group’s sound\, as is prominent bassist Jonny Wickham who launched his own album at the vortex in September 23 and appears regularly at the venue as a sideman. \nThe energy of Floating Circles’ music is infectious and will leave attendees at their album launch with an unforgettable live music experience like no other. \n\n  \n \n

SUMMARY:Tineke Postma Aria Group
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:00 PM\, Music 7:30 PM – 1 set of music\n  \nLine-up:\nTineke Postma – Alto & Soprano Sax\n\nDavid Doružka – Guitar\n\nRobert Landfermann – Double Bass\n\nTristan Renfrow -Drums\n\n  \nAbout\nAs one of the most prolific and respected musicians to emerge from the vibrant Dutch scene\, saxophonist and composer Tineke Postma has been touring internationally as a leader since 2003. With a catalogue of six albums her international profile has resulted in the Rising Star on soprano award in the Downbeat Critics Poll 2019 and seen her perform alongside greats such as Herbie Hancock on International Jazz Day (watch here from 30:00′).\n\nTineke is a musician of inventiveness and creativity\, not afraid to explore the unknown\, and revels in the inspiration of the master\, Wayne Shorter\, who once told her\, before going on stage to perform together\, “Let’s start composing”.\nHer  previous album FREYA\, released in March 2020\, marked the beginning of a new era for Tineke. After some years of performing more as a guest soloist than bandleader\, and active in her role as a mother\, this album represented a fresh start with a new label\, refreshed energy and an exciting band with an output collectively inspired by experiences she has gathered throughout her career.\n\nFor Tineke’s upcoming album ARIA she formed a new group consisting of prolific and highly acclaimed guitarist Ben Monder\, bassist Robert Landfermann and drummer Tristan Renfrow.  This exciting group embarks on an adventurous journey\, exploring new realms and manifold ways to interpret her work. ARIA will be released by Edition Records on May 12th\, spring of 2023.\n\n\n \n\n\n\n  \n \n

I want to draw in the listener so they engage with the music\, relating it to their own personal experience – with as much emotive clarity as if the music had lyrics. It’s an outlet\, a release.” \n\n  \n \n

DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM – 2 set(s) of music\n  \nLine-up:\nClemens Kuratle – Drums \nDee Byrne – Alto saxophone \nChris Guilfoyle – Electric guitar \nElliot Galvin – Piano \nLukas Traxel – Double Bass \n  \nAbout\nThe musical instrument as a quill. Clemens Kuratle constructs non-verbal discourse spaces in which perspectives are imbued with voice through sound. Kuratle is an avid seeker\, passionately delving into the causes\, entanglements\, and consequences of historical and contemporary conflicts\, without claiming to provide answers but rather to amplify the stories unearthed during thematic exploration. Here lies an urgently compelling melody that paraphrases the language of freedom\, amidst a dissonant sonic overlay that serves as the soundtrack to transformation. It’s a deeply involving process for Kuratle\, from which music emerges as the ultimate amalgamation of fervor and empathy. \n\n
