SUMMARY:Orlando le Fleming & Romantic Funk
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM – 2 set(s) of music\nPhoto: Dennis Madden \nLine-up:\nOrlando le Fleming – Bass\nMike Chillingworth – Alto Sax\nTom Cawley – Piano\nJames Maddren – Drum kit \nAbout\nThey will be playing music from their new album which will be released on April 19. \n“Outstanding” is an overused description but one that’s applied to bassist Orlando le Fleming so consistently that its justification can’t be denied. While living in New York he brought his inimitable personality to work on projects for the likes of Branford Marsalis\, Joey Calderazzo\, Antonio Sanchez\, Kurt Rosenwinkel\, Bill Charlap\, Billy Cobham\, Kevin Hays\, Wayne Krantz\, Jimmy Cobb\, Ari Hoenig\, Seamus Blake\, Jeff “Tain” Watts\, Leslie Odom Jr\, Mark Turner and David Sanchez among many others. \nAs a leader he shines even brighter — his drum-less OWL Trio (with long time associates Will Vinson and Lage Lund) gained plaudits across the board for its hushed\, intimate atmosphere. Downbeat declared “Everything about this album\, is a resounding success. The music swings effortlessly\, every utterance is gorgeous and the recording is intimate and beautiful.”\nHis latest release Romantic Funk: The Unfamiliar introduces us to a new sound\, a tribute to the muscular\, high-intensity fusion of the 1970s and 80s\, and a new band\, Romantic Funk. With material workshopped in an extended residency at New York’s storied 55 bar\, Romantic Funk showcases Orlando’s virtuosic bass playing\, whilst also giving his bandmates (including saxophonist Will Vinson and drummers Nate Wood & Kush Abadey) a platform to shine. Intuitive group interaction of the highest level is displayed within a backdrop of jazz\, lush harmony\, and funk. \nThe latest incarnation of the band features UK heavyweights\, drummer James Maddren (Jacob Collier\, Kit Downs\, Gwilym Simcock) and Tom Cawley on Keys (Peter Gabriel) \n“Long may Orlando Le Fleming’s electric jazz renaissance continue.”\n★★★★ Jazzwise Magazine (Editor’s Choice)\n“An outstanding bassist takes a turn towards muscular fusion.”\nWBGO \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5p_xIzBGMk

SUMMARY:Nye Banfield - 'Trails and Traces' Album Launch
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM – 2 set(s) of music\n  \nLine-up:\nNye Banfield – Tenor Saxophone \nMark Kavuma – Trumpet \nWilf Diamond – Trombone \nEwan Moore – Drums \nRobbie Moore – Piano \nHamish Nockles-Moore – Double bass \n  \nAbout\nThe Leicestershire-raised\, Welsh-rooted saxophonist Nye Banfield presents his debut record ‘Trails and Traces’ live at the Vortex. The show will feature Nye’s sextet\, performing his original music\, plus an opening set from captivating duo BIGHEADMODE. \nA graduate of Trinity Laban\, Nye is a profoundly creative musician who paints visceral scenes from his life through composition and improvisation. Headfirst Bristol describes him as ‘an original composer who knows both the roots of modern jazz and where he intends to take his own music’. \n‘Trails and Traces’\, releasing on vinyl in January 2024\, features classy ‘Banger Factory’ leader Mark Kavuma on trumpet. The music bursts with an infusion of influences\, from avant-garde 60s Blue Note records\, modern Jazz icon Ambrose Akinmusire\, college mentor Mark Lockheart\, as well as British composer Vaughan Williams\, Radiohead and the song writing of Damon Albarn. \nThe sextet breathe life into every corner of Nye’s compositions\, creating an engaging and thrilling sound\, leading the listener on a vivid journey. Expect energy\, improvisation and risk-taking. \n  \n \n \n  \nBIGHEADMODE \nBIGHEADMODE is a sonic landscape built upon an unwavering fraternal groove of brothers Robbie and Ewan Moore. Their sound has an unapologetic eclecticism that swings wildly from intimate broken beat lo-fi to break-neck 70s fusion bravado\, punctuated throughout by a cast of rising stars within the new generation of UK Jazz. \nCosmic sci-fi-esque analogue synths wrestle with raw visceral drums amongst a barrage of chopped and screwed samples; creating a ‘new age’ sound that somehow feels deeply human and familiar. \n\n \n \n

SUMMARY:Liam Noble/Fini Bearman/George Crowley
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM – 2 set(s) of music\n  \nLine-up:\nLiam Noble – Piano \nFini Bearman – Vocals \nGeorge Crowley – Tenor Saxophone\n  \n\nAbout\nJoin us for a very special evening featuring three of London’s finest musicians in trio together. \nFor more than two decades pianist Liam Noble has been a key figure on the vibrant British Jazz scene\, both as a sideman and leader. Throughout his rich career\, Noble’s compositional eye for structure and versatility as an artist has allowed him to explore longer compositional forms and unorthodox improvisational structures in the 2001 record “In the Meantime” as well as marking a new foray into electronica in 2002 in a commission from Birmingham Jazz based on Japanese Death Poetry. He has released 2 albums with free improv trio “Sleepthief” (2008\,20011) and gained further acclaim with the Bobby Wellins Quartet on the 2009 CD “BRUBECK”\, gaining an almost unprecedented 5 star review in The Guardian.Other artists Noble has performed and recorded with include Phil Robson\, Drew Gress\, Tom Rainey\, Christine Tobin\, Paul Clarvis and Julian Siegel as well as Mary Halverson\, Marc Ducret\, Mat Maneri\, Evan Parker\, Okkyung Lee and Peter Evans. His trio with Chris Bachelor and Shabaka Hutchings also received venerable recognition. \nFini Bearman is a London based singer\, songwriter\, composer & multi-instrumentalist\, who has a ‘rare sense of melody running through her eclectic compositions\, full of catchy twists and turns’. Her music melds diverse influences from jazz\, folk and contemporary music into an ‘arresting and uniquely personal’ sound. Sometimes dealing with settings of poetry and other times original lyrics\, ‘her voice\, effortlessly moves between a light precision and warm soulfulness is unmistakably her own’.\nFini released her 4th album ‘La Loba in October 2020 and it has already received much glowing reviews from peers and critics including ****’s from Jazzwise (Editors Choice)\, allaboutjazz\, The Arts Desk (album of the year)\, and more. \nGeorge Crowley is a saxophonist\, clarinettist\, composer and promoter based in London. Since his arrival in the capital in 2007\, Crowley has steadily established himself as a key player within the city’s burgeoning creative jazz and improv scene\, and increasingly well known further afield\, performing across the UK and Europe. As a performer he is active across a range of styles; whether infusing melodic through-composed writing with open\, searching improv in his own Can of Worms\, channelling fiery avant-parade ghosts in Brass Mask\, weaving through the polyrhythmic Ghanaian trance of Vula Viel or exploring more traditional repertoire\, Crowley’s energy and expressive\, warm saxophone sound mark him out as a musician who demands attention. He can also be found playing with bands and musicians such as Melt Yourself Down\, Julian Argüelles’ Septet\, Yazz Ahmed\, Red Snapper\, the Michael Chillingworth Septet\, Rick Simpson’s Klämmer and the Olie Brice Quartet featuring Jeff Williams. Outside of the world of jazz and improvised music he has worked with artists such as Boy George and Culture Club and Mount Kimbie.

SUMMARY:Nikki Yeoh - Cafè Oran
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:30 PM\, Music 8:15 PM – 1 set of music\n  \nLine-up:\nNikki Yeoh -Piano \nDemi Garcia Sabat- Percussion \nShirley Smart -Cello \nWith special guest Stuart Hall – Double Bass\, Oud and Violin \n\n  \nAbout\nNikki Yeoh celebrates the music of French Algerian Jewish Composer Maurice El Medioni interpreter of Andalusian\, Rai\, Sephardic and Arabic music with a new band “Cafè Oran” \nThe concert will be focused on the music of Maurice El Medioni especially arranged  for the trio additional compositions by Nikki Yeoh as contrasting works. \nMédioni was born in1928\, taught himself the piano at an early age and frequented Oran‘s American bars in the 1940s. His big loves were boogie-woogie and Cuban music\, and his style is born of the fusing of these distinct influences with Arabic music. The piano is\, of course\, a European instrument\, but in Médioni‘s the melodies take on a middle eastern character\, subtly decorated and turning round on themselves in modal arabesques.” \nCafè Oran was initiated following a  performance of two of Maurice’s compositions at the launch of the Max Reinhart-edited autobiography Maurice El Médioni — A Memoir: From Oran to Marseilles at Steinway Hall in 2017. \nSubsequently Nikki was asked to present a full concert  of  music at  Ronnie Scotts international Piano trio festival  in 2019. \n  \n“By the evening’s final cavort\, this intriguing project had captured Médioni’s music with a joyful and contemporary spirit.” – Mike Hobart\, Financial Times\, August 2019  \n  \n“A piano trio but not as you know it Jim – cello\, plucked and bowed\, rather than bass\, a sprawl of percussion rather than conventional kit and fittingly given the unusual small group format there was a lot of beyond the blue horizon thinking too from …”   Stephen Graham -Marlbank – full review \n  \nPhoto credit: Nick White \n

At age 10\, he picked up the saxophone\, and at 11\, he joined Tomorrow’s Warriors\, where he thrived under their guidance. As an alumnus of Tomorrow’s Warriors\, Donovan remains actively involved in their performances and occasionally fills in for the Tomorrow’s Warriors Nu Civilisation Orchestra. \ninstagram:\n(donovan_jazz_sax)\n(frankformers)\n(jay.verma)\n(kinzan.mu)\n(mackwood.ling) \n\n

SUMMARY:John Etheridge ‘Blue Spirits' w/Pete Whittaker and George Double
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM – 2 set(s) of music\n  \nLine-up:\nJohn Etheridge – Guitar\nPete Whittaker – Organ\nGeorge Double – Drum kit \nAbout\nJohn Etheridge’s reputation in the jazz world cannot be overstated. A genuinely virtuosic fusion guitarist\, Etheridge is one of a handful of players who can claim to have helped shape the character of modern jazz guitar. He has been described by fellow fretsman Pat Metheny as ‘one of the best guitarists in the world’\, a distinction that is due in no small part to his tireless exploration of the possibilities of his instrument. A hugely respected artist in his own right\, Etheridge also claims an impressive collaborative history\, from his seminal work with groundbreaking fusion group Soft Machine to his longstanding status as the guitarist of choice for jazz icon Stephane Grappelli. \nIt is safe to say\, then\, that when it comes to playing companions\, Etheridge’s judgement is second to none. The band will be launching their new ‘Live’ album at this gig. \n\n

SUMMARY:Heidi Vogel
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM – 2 set(s) of music\n  \nLine-up:\nHeidi Vogel – Voice\nIvo Neame – piano\nJon Scott – drums\nNeville Malcolm – bass \n  \nAbout\nPerformance with special guests \nHeidi Vogel\, a singer from London\, initially started making her professional debut touring with Cirque du Soleil\, she became a frequent face in the London and LA jazz & soul scene where she became involved with The Cinematic Orchestra as their lead singer and has toured extensively with the band for over 5 years. This platform established her extraordinarily rich and complex vocal timbre and built her reputation outside of her home city of London\, UK. By 2007\, Vogel had toured all over the USA\, Australia\, South Africa\, Canada and Europe and ended the year with a sold out concert at The Royal Albert Hall and a stunning performance live on the Jimmy Kimmel TV show. \nShe then went on to perform the main stage at The Big Chill Festival UK in 2010\, and the following year graced the stage as support for Erykah Badu at Dubai’s Chill Out Festival amongst numerous other appearances at North Sea Jazz Festival\, Coachella\, Gilles Peterson Worldwide and Blue Note Jazz Festival. With every performance\, Heidi has been steadily exceeding her rich vocal abilities whilst gaining influential critics’ approval as a soloist. \nHeidi Vogel’s ‘Turn Up The Quiet’ album followed on from her many successes as front-woman of the critically acclaimed Cinematic Orchestra (Ninja Tune). The album is her deeply moving debut and made up of her interpretations of songs by great composers including Antonio Carlos Jobim\, Vinicius de Moraes and Joe Henderson. Heidi is accompanied throughout the album by the very talented guitarist Josue Ferreira as well as guests musicians including vocalist Cleveland Watkiss\, pianist Austin Peralta and Ivo Neame. The album also features remixes from The Cinematic Orchestra\, IG Culture and Emanative. \n
