SUMMARY:The Flame - Robert Mitchell\, Mark Sanders\, Olie Brice
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM – 2 set(s) of music\n  \nLine-up:\nRobert Mitchell – Piano \nOlie Brice – Double bass \nMark Sanders – Drums \n  \nAbout\nThe Flame is a fierce improvising trio who return to the Vortex. Featuring Robert Mitchell (Piano/Perc/Poetry)\, Mark Sanders (Drums) and tonight with Olie Brice (Bass – standing in for Neil Charles) – they bring a hugely accomplished individual and international renown. Their very first gig at Cafe Oto was recorded and subsequently caught the ear of the amazing 577 Records (NYC) – who released the first part as a vinyl album earlier this year to great reviews. The music is free flowing\, miniscule\, immense\, unapologetic\, percussive and may include original/improvised poetry/spoken word. \n‘Indeed\, the moments of tantalising interplay\, in which Charles’s brawny arco is caught by the buzz-hiss-crack of Sanders’ cymbal or Mitchell’s sly hammering of strings\, have a substantial sensory charge. The same can be said of the full eruptions of energy\, as interestingly\, Sanders\, for all his skill in rubato situations\, brings a torrid funk to the performance at times\, making him an unheralded groovemeister in disguise.’ Kevin Le Gendre **** Jazzwise \n\nTowards The Flame\, Vol. 1 de The Flame (Robert Mitchell\, Neil Charles\, Mark Sanders)

SUMMARY:Wanja Slavin "libelle" feat. Laura Jurd\, Ruth Goller\, Johannes Lauer & James Maddren
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM – 2 set(s) of music\n  \nLine-up:\nWanja Slavin – Alto Saxophone \nLaura Jurd – Trumpet \nJohannes Lauer – Piano \nRuth Goller – Bass Guitar \nJames Maddren – Drums \n  \nAbout\nA distinctive feature in the career of Wanja Slavin\, the alto saxophonist born in 1982 in Freiburg and living in Berlin since 2005\, is his rare engagement with long-lasting bands. Slavin seeks the thrill in change – whether it’s reshuffling a newly established band to immerse himself in the unique experience of collaborating with musicians on stage for the first time. This approach allows him to freely engage in improvisation\, uninfluenced by precedents or clichés\, ensuring that every phrase\, note\, and line he plays on his saxophone sounds unique and remains one-of-a-kind. \nPhoto credit: Dovile Sermokas  \n

SUMMARY:Esk 'People In Their Simplicity'
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM – 2 set(s) of music\n  \nLine-up:\nEvie Hill – Voice \nBen Lawrence – Piano \nAlex Wardill – Saxophone \nOllie Bailey – Bass Guitar \nMikey Young – Drums \n  \nAbout\nNorthern neo-soul duo Esk launched their debut album ‘People In Their Simplicity’ in September. Following a sold out performance at Pizza Express Live Holborn\, they’re excited to play for the very first time at the Vortex Jazz Club. \nKnown for their ‘beautifully-crafted songs of deceptive simplicity’\, emerging artists Evie Hill and Ben Lawrence combine the rural soundscapes in which they grew up with the jazz influences they discovered later in life. Heavily influenced by D’Angelo\, Moonchild\, Bon Iver\, and J Dilla\, audiences can expect a night of neo-soul drum grooves\, subtle vocals\, head-nodding basslines and uplifting solos. \nPeople In Their Simplicity is an album of contrasts: rural and city life\, the conflict between fear and desire\, the blurred line between tradition and the new. This synthesising quality is Esk’s superpower\, giving their music a nostalgic air whilst refreshing the neo-soul and jazz canon. \nWith performances at Pizza Express Live Holborn\, Jazz@PizzaExpress Soho\, Newcastle Jazz Cafe\, and Jazz Cafe Posk behind them\, the duo will be touring their new album throughout 2023 and 24. \n  \n \n

SUMMARY:Craig Taborn - Shadow Plays
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM – 2 set(s) of music\n  \nLine-up:\nCraig Taborn – Piano \n\n  \nAbout\nOver the last decade Taborn has refined and developed his approach\, attaining new high ground with Shadow Plays. For Craig the recording is “part of the same continuum as Avenging Angel. Where that was a studio recording\, this one is live\, but that process of spontaneous composition goes onward.” The new album is a stunning live recital from the Mozart-Saal of the Wiener Konzerthaus\, where the programme was headlined Avenging Angel II. In this fully improvised concert\, Craig explores sounds and silences\, swirling colours\, densities and forms\, creating new music with both poetic imagination and an iron grip on his material. His control of his craft as he unerringly creates narratives and structures from the hint of a revealed pattern\, following where intuition and experience lead him\, is extraordinary. \n“When you improvise\,” Taborn told writer Adam Shatz\, in a New York Times interview\, “you’re observing and creating at the same time. To make the next move\, you have to get really close to what’s going on.” \n“Free improvisation” can mean many things. For Taborn\, in this context\, this is not a matter of automatic writing or stream-of-consciousness self-expression but of keeping in focus both the larger frame of the concert and the concise statements shaped from the moment-to-moment detail of the music. “A lot of my interests revolve around trying to extend the boundaries you can create in…” Craig Taborn has noted. “Rather than simply free-flowing as I travel from Point A to Point B\, I am really trying to construct and to organize the material as it emerges\, in real time. And what is created in this way feels different to music using pre-composed elements.” \n

SUMMARY:Dave Gisler Trio feat. Tony Malaby
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM – 2 set(s) of music\n  \nLine-up:\nDave Gisler – Guitar \nRaffaele Bossard – Double Bass \nLionel Friedli – Drums \nTony Malaby – Saxophone \n  \nAbout\nOver the past few years Dave Gisler has earned himself an impressive reputation in the free-thinking force field of contemporary jazz as a maverick sound architect on the electric guitar. The Dave Gisler Trio loves the punch of a rock sensibility\, but it cheerfully slips into quieter and calmer zones\, where individual sounds and other worldly textures remix the essences afresh. \nThe trio’s first recording\, “Rabbits on the Run\,” was released in 2018 on Intakt Records. It laid the track for a musical departure that on the one hand intensified the trio and on the other hand also expanded it to a quartet or quintet. \nIn March 2022 followed the album “See You Out There” with Jaimie Branch and the US saxophonist David Murray. The musical giant continues to make the music shine. Cool navigates the quintet between punky energy\, sixties free aesthetic\, massive rock accents and the sound zones of modern jazz. \nNow they are on the road again\, with their latest album in their luggage and new musical material joined by the legendary American saxophonist Tony Malaby!\n  \n \n

SUMMARY:Clarissa Connelly
DESCRIPTION:Bird On The Wire presents: Clarissa Connelly at the Vortex\, London \nClarissa Connelly is a Copenhagen-based producer\, composer\, vocalist\, and multi-instrumentalist\, and has recently joined Warp Records family. Providing a moment of serenity and bright joy\, Connelly is an artist whose music cuts through the chaos. \n\n​Born in Scotland\, Clarissa Connelly relocated as a child to Denmark\, where the cultural landscape has fuelled her creativity\, though exploring the sacred sites\, mythology\, and music of Nordic culture. She first gained international attention with Tech Duinn (2018)\, a hypnotic album named after a spiritual gateway in Celtic myth. For her most recent album\, The Voyager (2021)\, Clarissa physically walked the Scandinavian landscape\, channeling melodies from ancient pre-Christian sites. To allow others to virtually join-in\, Connelly developed an app called Vandringen which responds sonically to these sites. The album received global acclaim and was awarded the prestigious Nordic Music Prize which is testament to her studious dedication to composition as a masters student at the prestigious Rhythmic Music Conservatory (CPH). \nOther impressive accolades include\, opening for Jenny Hval across the UK & EU last year as well as taking part in Laurie Anderson’s choir. It’s also worth noting her recent premiere of Canons at Roskilde Festival\, a choir piece that included Erika de Casier\, Astrid Sonne\, Henriette Motzfeldt (Smerz) and others. \n\n

SUMMARY:Byron Wallen's 'Four Corners'
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM – 2 set(s) of music\n  \nLine-up:\nByron Wallen – Trumpet \nPaul Michael – Bass \nMike De Souza – Guitar \nRod Youngs – Drums \nAbout\nByron Wallen (b. 1969) was raised in a musical family and as a child studied classical piano\, euphonium\, trumpet\, flute and drums. In the mid 1980’s the trumpet became Wallen’s primary instrument of choice. \nWallen’s first major work\, Tarot Suite\, (1994) was inspired by a love of mythology and symbolism\, which reflected the archetypal journey of human life through an interdisciplinary pan-continental approach. Wallen’s study of cognitive psychology has aided his transition towards conceptualising music as a medium for healing. Wallen raises awareness and invokes change by unlocking boundaries through the nature and science of sound. \nWidely recognised as a seminal figure in Jazz\, Wallen is an acclaimed writer and producer whose original scores have been commissioned by the Science Museum; PRS\, The BBC\, Jerwood Foundation\, Southbank Centre\, National Theatre\, Arts Council\, FIFA and Sage Gateshead. He has also composed soundscapes for Universal Pictures\, Warner Bros and Game of Thrones. \nWallen’s current PRS commission ‘Anthem for Woolwich’ forges new links between schools\, venues\, musicians and residents to strengthen the resilience and promote the cohesion of the community. Wallen has received the BBC Jazz Innovation award (2003) and has been nominated several times for the MOBO award. In 2017 he received the coveted Paul Hamlyn Award. In 2020 his band Four Corners was nominated for the best band category at the Parlimentary Jazz Awards. \n\n

SUMMARY:Sultan Stevenson 'Faithful One'
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM – 2 set(s) of music\n  \nLine-up:\nSultan Stevenson – Piano \nJosh Short – Trumpet \nJacob Gryn – Double bass \nMichael Wang – Drums\n  \nAbout\nPianist Sultan Stevenson is one of the fastest emerging young artists on the London jazz scene. His trio is already established as an outfit to catch when billed to play live and is being tipped for success on national and international stages. He is releasing his much anticipated debut album ‘Faithful One’ on Whirlwind Recordings in March of 2023. In May of 2023 Sultan’s trio are embarking on UK wide tour of the release. \nSultan’s approach to composition and playing has already been compared to that of McCoy Tyner and Esbjörn Svensson and\, over the past year\, his trio has played standout gigs at Jazz re:freshed\, the Vortex and the Jazz Café where the band opened for the great Billy Cobham. Their Pizza Express gig during the 2021 EFG London Jazz Festival was a sell-out. \n“His way of placing silences and making a simple four-note lick grow into something significant showed an incipient master at work.” The Telegraph\n

SUMMARY:The W [downstairs]
DESCRIPTION:Doors 6:30 PM\, Music 7:30 PM – 1 set(s) of music\n  \nLine-up:\nBruno Heinen – Piano \nHeidi Vogel – Voice \nAndrea Di Biase – Double Bass \nGene Calderazzo – Drums \n  \nAbout\nMemorable lines\, melodic grooves and diverse references inform the debut album by Bruno Heinen’s The W\, released on Ubuntu Music. Through original compositions – each one telling a personal story and featuring some of the UK’s hottest and most in-demand players\, The W is a newly established London-based contemporary jazz quartet of outstanding musicality creating chamber jazz that is as exciting and inventive\, as it is elegant and sophisticated. \nAs vocalist for the Cinematic Orchestra for over 15 years and the go-to vocalist for acts such as Thundercat\, Soweto Kinch and Chick Corea\, Heidi Vogel has long been a critics choice for her extraordinary voice and velvet tone. Her sublime wordless vocals bring a contemporary\, stylish sound to The W. \nOn drums is London-based New Yorker Gene Calderazzo\, a leading figure on the international jazz scene whose vast portfolio include performances with Pharoah Sanders\, Radiohead and Wayne Krantz to name a few. \nOn double bass is Italian Andrea Di Biase who has performed with many leading figures in British jazz such as Stan Sultzman\, Norma Winstone and Kenny Wheeler. \nThe group is led by composer and improvising pianist\, Bruno Heinen\, who has worked with the likes of Shabaka Hutchings\, ESKA\, and the LSO. The Independent describes him as a consistently intelligent linking voice\, a fair summation of the way in which he brings these four unique musicians together through his original compositions. \nLike the four equal lines that make up the letter ‘W’\, the four members of the group come together as one to create a perfectly balanced and compelling new sound. They are a band in the true sense of the word. They meet regularly\, learning the music by heart and shaping Bruno’s distinctive compositions together. \n“Demonstrating that originality doesn’t have to be complicated” Observer \n  \n \n
