SUMMARY:Loz Speyer's Time Zone
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM – 2 set(s) of music\n  \nLine-up:\nLoz Speyer – Trumpet \nMartin Hathaway – Alto Saxophone \nPhil Dawson – Guitar \nDave Manington – Double bass \nGaspar Sena – Drums \nMaurizio Ravalico – Voice \n  \nAbout\nTime Zone returns to the Vortex for the first time since the 2019 launch of album “Clave Sin Embargo” – with their own unique deep fusion of Cuban music and Jazz. \n“An ensemble led by a trumpeter/composer who has absorbed the essence of Cuban music and distilled it quite cunningly into an improvisatory context with no compromise to either culture. Gritty\, graceful sounds with a dark-light intensity.”\n– Kevin Legendre\, Echoes Music Magazine \nLoz Speyer’s music for Time Zone emerged from the experience of living between London and Santiago de Cuba\, studying the roots of Cuban music\, collaborating and performing there with local musicians – and starting an Anglo-Cuban family. Key elements of music and culture began to reappear in altered form in his own compositions\, charged with the emotional urgency and maybe irony of bridging two far removed worlds “with no compromise to either culture”. \nThe compositions are played with passion and commitment by this fine band\, who all have the breadth of experience\, the spirit\, and the sense of humour necessary to enjoy playing these unusual forms and really do them justice. \n“A fresh perspective on that heritage by way of his London-based ensemble’s taste for raw punky downtown improv via New York\, all the way through to free-jazz elements. But the music’s convivial dance sensibility sourced from son\, batá and salsa is always apparent… Cohesive and engaging.” – Selwyn Harris\, Jazzwise \n“He is more than simply a trumpeter blowing a wonderfully powerful horn\, but a socially conscious artist making a somewhat angular statement… You would be hard-pressed to find music so vibrant and viscerally energetic than the eight pieces on Clave Sin Embargo.” – Raul de Gama\, Latin Jazz Network (Canada) \n\n

SUMMARY:James Brandon Lewis "Eye of I" (2nd show)
DESCRIPTION:Doors 9 PM\, Music 9:30 PM\, 1 set of music\n  \nLine-up:\nJames Brandon Lewis – Tenor Saxophone \nJosh Werner – Electric Bass \nChad Taylor  – Drums \n  \nAbout\n\n“A saxophonist who embodies and transcends tradition” (The New York Times)\, James Brandon Lewis has become\, in just over a decade\, one of the most celebrated young artists in jazz — an artist who has carved a niche for his singular mixture of gospel\, blues\, and R&B with the incendiary saxophone explorations of John Coltrane\, Albert Ayler\, and Sonny Rollins. His performance coincides with the release of his new ANTI Records recording\, Eye of I. His Live Trio features electric bassist Josh Werner and drummer Chad Taylor . \n“James Brandon Lewis’ solos are like a jumbo jet\,” enthuses Marc Ribot. “You need to give them plenty of runway space to take off and land. Because they’re huge\, not just in terms of sound\, chops\, soul\, ideas\, energy\, and originality\, (although they have all these in abundance)\, but because they’re carrying a precious cargo: the living legacy of John Coltrane. I’m not talking about some skillful ‘young lion’s’ reproduction of a historic jazz sound\, but a young artist’s courage to take up the spiritual challenge—to channel what needs to be channeled now.” \n\n Photo credit: Ben Pier\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Laura Jurd - The Big Friendly Album w/ Support: Situational Soundtrack
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM – 2 set(s) of music\n  \nAbout\nLaura Jurd – The Big Friendly Album\nMusic influenced by Celtic folk traditions\, the blues and a sprinkling of alt-rock\, acclaimed trumpet player and composer alongside a brass-fuelled\, party band of world-class instrumentalists\, brings this colourful new music to life. Big friendly tunes and grooves-a-plenty as Laura continues to share her latest creation in a live setting\, since the album’s release in September 2022. \n“a big hearted\, gorgeously lyrical\, feel-good romp\, which does not preclude cerebral engagement but which wears its complexities so lightly that one barely notices them.” – Chris May\, All About Jazz \nLine-up:\nLaura Jurd – Cornet\, Piano \nDanielle Price – Tuba \nMartin Lee Thomson – Euphonium \nAlex Haines – Guitar\, Electric Guitar \nConor Chaplin – Bass guitar \nCorrie Dick – Drums \nSupport: Dopey Monkey and Adrian Ortman – SITUATIONAL SOUNDTRACK\nSituational Soundtrack is an exploration into the sounds which form parts of daily life. Inspired by the likes of Brian Eno’s Music for Airports or Erik Satie’s Vexations\, it considers what situational music is or could be as well as closer aspects of the everyday situations we often find ourselves in. The repetition of small routines that add up over the years\, internal sporadic thoughts\, feelings and monologues guiding us through the day and how our everyday consumption of music accompanies our activities and shapes our mood. Using these as a springboard for ideas\, the trio have created a playlist of new music which they hope\, in turn can be used as a soundtrack for someone else’s daily life. \n“Listened to your performance today at Jubilee Hall Aldeburgh. Brilliant\, it tickled my insides\, made me laugh aloud and in other moments brought images to mind. Great Stuff.” \nDopey Monkey began in 2015 with Danielle Price and Martin Lee Thomson exploring all things tuba and euphonium in an informal concert for friends. They have since become known for their varied creative output\, drawing together their backgrounds in jazz\, folk\, classical and experimental music\, along with their curiosity for storytelling\, cross arts and collaboration. \nThe duo was later joined by a long-time friend\, Swedish composer\, producer and percussion powerhouse Adrian Ortman. Together\, the unlikely trio walk between modern jazz\, indie and experimental music making use of song and spoken word paired with catchy melodic lines and improvisation. They have created a series of projects including “Stills” written for YABAI-FEST 2021\, “Now You Know” celebrating the texts of Brian Nisbet and “Slumberous” an exploration into dreams performed in Oslo in 2022. They are a Britten Pears Young Artist Programme Ensemble in Residence for 2022-23. \nLine-up:\nDanielle Price – Tuba \nMartin Lee Thomson – Euphonium \nAdrian Ortman – Drums\, Vibraphone\, Percussion \n\n

SUMMARY:Vortex discussion 156 - Defining jazz in 2023
DESCRIPTION:What is the latest definition of the term “jazz”? Many of the brand leaders/venues for jazz are now running much broader-based programming.

Does it matter? \nJoin the discussion led by Vortex director\, Oliver Weindling. And open to all. \n(The image is of legendary jazz writer\, Hugues Panassié.) \n————————————- \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/83767777228?pwd=WUN4Um93QlRLNG50YnZiV0FxOUZDdz09 \nMeeting ID: 837 6777 7228\nPasscode: 195686

SUMMARY:ENEMY (Downes / Eldh / Maddren)
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM\, 2 sets of music\n  \nLine-up:\nKit Downes – Piano \nPetter Eldh – Bass \nJames Maddren – Drums \n  \nAbout\n\nKit Downes joins forces with long-time collaborators Petter Eldh on bass and James Maddren on drums for a carefully assorted piano trio programme that treads gentle lyricism and bold creative outbursts in equal measures. ENEMY\, who recorded their debut album ‘ENEMY’ for Edition Records back in 2018\, now carve out some of their most compendious pieces to date on their recent ECM release ‘Vermillion’. Replete with subtle twists and turns\, the trio offers its idiosyncratic take on the piano trio format\, producing unexpected harmonic alterations and animate rhythmic flashes as they flesh out distinct musical forms. Recorded at the Auditorio Stelio Molo in Lugano with Manfred Eicher\, the three-piece outlines a unique design for this instrumentation in clear-cut interplay and creates a profound study of Kit Downes’ broad musical imagination in the process. Now working on their third recording (for the WeJazz label) they are re-embracing their previous intense and technicolor approach with a new programme. \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 \nJoel Waters – Drum kit \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\n

The original music – with or without lyrics – is both melodic and abstract. It draws from the jazz\, folk\, contemporary classical\, free improv and electronic worlds\, with atmospheric and open improvisations\, exciting grooves and impactful stillness. ‘Lucid Dreamers’ premiered at London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall as a trio with Brigitte Beraha\, George Crowley and Tim Giles in November 2019 as part of the London Jazz Festival\, with music written by Brigitte and inspired by the industrial world that we live in. Extended to a quartet with Alcyona Mick on piano\, they released ‘Lucid Dreamers’ on Let Me Out Records in July 2020\, with the follow up ‘Blink’ in May 2022. The quartet have been touring in UK / Europe since March 2022 and are planning on recording their third album in the summer 2023. \n‘Beautiful’ BBC radio 3 \n‘A set packed with off-centre pleasures and subtle delights.’ MOJO **** \n‘Easily one of the best vocals-led jazz achievements so far this year and even more interesting because it is so honest and adventurous.’ Marlbank **** \n‘Quietly virtuosic UK vocalist Brigitte Beraha is at her delicately airborne\, rhythmically audacious best with her closely entwined Lucid Dreamers band.’ The Guardian\, John Fordham \n

SUMMARY:Empirical 15yr Celebration with Julian Siegel and Jason Rebello
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM – 2 set(s) of music\n  \nLine-up:\nTom Farmer – Double Bass \nNathaniel Facey – Alto Saxophone \nLewis Wright – Vibraphone \nShaney Forbes – Drums \nJason Rebello – Piano \nJulian Siegel – Tenor Saxophone \n  \nAbout\nJoin UK jazz stalwarts Empirical for a two-night celebration of their 15th anniversary at the Vortex. \nFeaturing Nathaniel Facey (alto sax)\, Tom Farmer (double bass)\, Lewis Wright (vibraphone) and Shaney Forbes (drums)\, the multi award-winning quartet have been creating music together since 2008. \nEmpirical’s ethos is defined by a deep commitment to risk-taking improvisation and collective music-making – an ethos that has helped the band maintain their reputation as ‘a reliable touchstone of contemporary British jazz at its most sophisticated’ (Jazzwise 2022). \nIn the recent past\, the quartet has become known for its ‘now legendary Pop-up Jazz Lounge’ (Time Out) – a daring exercise in audience outreach which has seen the band turn disused shops in train stations and shopping malls in London\, Berlin\, Bath\, Birmingham and Cheltenham into jazz clubs\, for a week at a time. Since 2016\, the band has played to more than 10\,000 appreciative commuters and shoppers\, racking up over 200 live sets in the process. \nThe quartet will perform music from their back catalogue\, comprising five albums and three EPs\, and their forthcoming full-length release entitled Wonder is the beginning featuring piano legend Jason Rebello and rising sax star Alex Hitchcock. \nThe quartet will be joined by special guest Julian Siegel who featured on Empirical’s second album Out’n’In which paid tribute to the musical legacy of Eric Dolphy. \n‘’Empirical\, around for an astonishing 15 years already\, are one of the great British contributions to European jazz.’’ (Downbeat) \n‘’London’s quartet Empirical delivered it all… This was the height of contemporary jazz from risk-taking players with real commitment.’’ (Calgary Herald) \n“Empirical are exactly what top-class modern jazz should be – trailblazing yet wholly respectful of tradition.” (Time Out London) \n\n
