About
Ashley Bonfante brings his fun new project to the Vortex for the first time. This exciting group, full of wonderfully creative improvisers at the forefront of the London scene, will be exploring the music of the great Ornette Coleman with some Booker Little, Eric Dolphy, and original compositions thrown in for good measure.
Ashley has a highly individual sound as an improviser and composer. His work as a collaborator and band leader has led him to become an integral member of the thriving music scene in the UK and Europe. He was also selected as one of seven curators to participate in the previous Whirlpool series at the Vortex Jazz Club – all chosen for their creative and imaginative approaches to composition and performance.
