Blow the Fuse featuring Ed Jones

A welcome return to Blow the Fuse and the Vortex for saxophonist Ed Jones. one of the UK's most exciting players. A thrilling evening of Blue Note jazz / Latin, blues and funk with Deirdre Cartwright (guitar), Alison Rayner (bass) and Winston Clifford (drums).

'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).

Gig reviews by Chris Parker

Claudia Quintet

Wednesday 10 March

Claudia Quintet's music has been memorably termed (in Downbeat) the 'sonic equivalent of hand-woven tapestry', and this performance, attended by what seemed to be every musician in London and environs, comprehensively demonstrated the perspicacity of this description. See the complete review.

New CD reviews by Chris Parker

Billy Jenkins  I am a Man from Lewisham

From the bluesy growl of the opening title-track, through a series of rousing, eccentric instrumentals, to the closing 'Throw Them Blues in the Recycling Bin' featuring the Voice of God Collective Junior League Choir, this is quintessential Billy Jenkins: teasingly satirical, genre-melding, passionate, deeply rooted in South East London.
