SUMMARY:Tobie Medland's 'The Aviary'
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM – 2 set(s) of music\n  \nLine-up:\nTobie Medland – Violin \nSol Grimshaw – Acoustic guitar \nBim Williams – Electric guitar \nSam Leak – Piano \nTom Smith – Clarinet \nKit Massey – Violin \nHelen Sanders-Hewitt – Viola \nShirley Smart – Cello \nMarcus Penrose – Double bass \n  \nAbout\nOriginally founded as a quartet\, violinist Tobie Medland’s ‘The Aviary’ grew to include several heavyweights of British Jazz following the success of their debut record ‘Apparitions’. Featuring Sam Leak on piano\, Tom Smith on clarinet\, and a string section of Kit Massey\, Helen Sanders-Hewett and Shirley Smart\, the ensemble’s new sound is rich\, complex\, and full of twists and turns. \n‘The Aviary’ aims to transport the listener to a world overrun by fantastical species of birds. As well as representing the personalities and individual tales of these strange avians\, it is also an exploration of the mystery of finding oneself in this world. \nDuring the Covid-19 lockdowns Tobie found a love for cycling to far away places. It was during these cycles that their adoration of birds really arose. These adventures were a driving force in coming to terms with recent bereavements\, as well as a way of coping with the lockdowns. ‘The Aviary’ acts as a metaphor for similar themes of loss\, rebirth\, and escapism. \nRooted in a contemporary spin on gypsy jazz\, the ensemble are influenced by 20th Century Classical composers Shostakovich\, Debussy and Bartok as well as the likes of Joe Pass\, Django Rheinhardt\, and Joe Henderson. Juxtaposing atonality\, free improvisation\, and darkness with jovial melodies\, driving swung grooves and bright harmony\, their immersive world presents an undeniably fresh perspective on an underappreciated genre. \nThe Aviary are a rare voice in the UK: Queer-led\, drumless arrangements\, driving rhythms\, soaring melodies and atonal soundscapes support virtuosic but tasteful group improvisation and characterful performances. Ever future facing\, the quartet offer a fresh\, distinctive\, dark and unmistakably modern sound. \n\n

SUMMARY:Beyond the Blue
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM – 2 set(s) of music\n  \nLine-up:\nJude Lane – Piano \nAlex Bresh – Bass guitar \nJonah Phillips – Drums \nJoe Tzabar – Electric Guitar \nJack Devonshire – Alto Saxophone \nCam Rossi – Tenor Saxophone \nCubby Howard – Cello \n  \nAbout\nBeyond the Blue are an exciting\, up-and-coming London-based Jazz band.

The recent additions of alto sax\, tenor sax and cello\, mark an evolution in the band’s sound\, alongside new original material that draws influence from a wide range of genres: UK dance music\, jazz and classical music. Their latest release\, a four track live session\, reimagines their previous quartet material in a dynamic septet setting that sets the tone for a future album release in 2024. \n“…their sound crosses genres and pushes boundaries whilst retaining their roots in the UK jazz scene.” – Voicemag UK (live show review) \n\n

SUMMARY:Blue Town Trio - "Somewhere in the Night"
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM – 2 set(s) of music\n  \nLine-up:\nZoe Francis – Vocals \nJim Mullen – Guitar \nRoss Stanley – Hammond Organ B3 \n  \nAbout\nZoe Francis\, vocals\, Jim Mullen\, guitar and Ross Stanley on Hammond organ\, will be performing songs from Zoe’s new album called “Somewhere in the Night” inspired by her love of the Blue Note\, Larry Young and Grant Green recordings. Zoe is a class act\, known for her impeccable taste in material. Jim and Ross are the finest on their instruments. Expect to hear classic songs with fresh arrangements and tempos. Zoe’s beautiful voice set against the rich layers of sound from Ross’s Hammond and Jim’s melodic blues lines make this trio sound like a mini orchestra! \n “With three beautiful sounds like these\, no other musicians are required and this is part of what makes this recording so special and unusual. To have organ and guitar without drums is basically unheard of\, but when the musicians have exquisite voices on their instruments\, it is truly complete and nothing is missed. This is a great record that stands out in it’s beauty and courage” -PETER BERNSTEIN  \n“A breath of spring…great interpreter of the American Songbook.” JAZZ JOURNAL \n“She’s totally a jazz singer her phrasing is masterfully varied from chorus to chorus.” JAZZ RAG MAGAZINE \n

SUMMARY:"Stories" Album Launch - Shirley Smart/Demi Garcia Sabat/James Arben
DESCRIPTION:Doors 6:30 PM\, Music 7:30 PM – 1 set(s) of music\n  \nLine-up:\nShirley Smart – Cello \nDemi Garcia Sabat – Drums \nJames Arben – Tenor Saxophone\, Flute \n  \nAbout\nStories is a trilogy of freely improvised albums. \nIt was recorded immediately after the lockdown in April 2021 during the Covid 19 pandemic and we were all just being allowed tentatively to see friends again. Basically we went into Slipway studio and let loose for a day in a hopefully creative\, definitely cathartic\, way\, and reminded ourselves once again of the necessity for music-making in our lives\, as well as the friendships and connections that come with a life as a creative artist. \nThe result was 19 improvised tracks that became this release\, for which a limited edition of hard copies has been made and we celebrate the release of tonight (although obviously with different improvisations……we’re not transcribing that lot!) \nShirley\, Demi and James are long-time collaborators in a variety of different projects spanning a wide range of musical genres\, and the idea of bringing those influences into a freely improvised context was a common interest and musical impetuses behind the sessions. \nSimone Fillali\, who recorded and produced the album\, and Alban Low\, who is a frequent collaborator on visual work\, are also a part of that world of creativity that we missed and needed so much. \nCome and join us in a celebration of creative music-making and its place in our lives. \n\n  \nStories: Part 1 – The Dragonfly de Shirley Smart\, Demi Garcia Sabat and James Arben \nStories: Part 3 – Subterranean Journey de Shirley Smart\, Demi Garcia Sabat\, James Arben

SUMMARY:Vortex discussion 162 - social media and jazz
DESCRIPTION:How reliant have we become on social media to spread the word about music? If a musician doesn’t really use social media\, such as Facebook\, can he still have a career\, particularly as a leader? Let’s consider the alternatives. \nWithout mainstream media to recommend recordings and gigs\, we need other routes. The replacement for ‘word of mouth’ is social media. But then which? \nJoin in the discussion with Oliver Weindling\, Vortex director. \n—————— \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/4934035526 \nMeeting ID: 493 403 5526

SUMMARY:Asha Parkinson's Kalpadruma
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM – 2 set(s) of music\n  \nLine-up:\nAsha Parkinson- Saxophone \nRebecka Edlund – Voice \nAlex Wilson- Piano \nKonstantinos Glynos – Qanun \nMyra Brownbridge – Bass \nTheo Guttenplan – Drums \n  \nAbout\nDynamic and prolific 23-year-old London-based saxophonist\, composer and arranger\, Asha Parkinson founded the Kalpadruma Collective in 2017 to explore authentic\, vital and exciting meeting points between Jazz\, Contemporary Classical\, Mediterranean\, Arab\, and Indian music traditions. The group has performed in many diverse line-ups- from a saxophone and qanun duo\, a jazz quintet to a 14-piece mini studio orchestra. After four years of performing at major venues such as Ronnie Scott’s\, the Union Chapel\, and the Jazz Seven Leeds series\, Asha premiered her debut album Onwards featuring Kalpadruma at Spice Jazz\, Soho in June 2022. \nAsha presents an eclectic programme of original repertoire from the debut album Onwards alongside new material from the upcoming album Possession. The new music explores different states of possession- from hysteria to obsessive love to mystical inspiration. Complimenting this will be some of her arrangements of film composer\, Ennio Morricone and Turkish baglama music. Always exploring new timbral combinations\, the set is arranged for a unique sextet line-up. \n\n
