About
Queer Jazz exists to platform, nurture and celebrate the emerging queer jazz scene. Programmed by Tina Edwards and Arowah, they have put together an exciting monthly programme of innovative LGBTQI+ artists at The Vortex Jazz Club, supported by Arts Council England.
Tickets are flexibly priced – please select the pricing tier that reflects your situation. We want as many people as possible to access the gigs so if you’re able to, please consider paying for the highest ticket band, otherwise cheaper tickets will be limited and available on first-come first-serve basis
Reinel Bakole
At just 26, Reinel Bakole is already at the forefront of the soul scene, blending singing, writing, dance, and performance into a captivating, multidisciplinary and alternative universe. 2024 has been a breakthrough year for the artist, whom Moustique compares to ‘Macy Gray, Nina Simone, Solange, and even FKA Twigs’.
HANAH
HANAH is a producer and singer currently based in London, who has spent the best part of a decade developing an utterly distinctive sonic sensibility, merging intimate-sounding loops with her euphonious vocals.
HANAH’s most recent EP ‘Colours of Now & Then’ was recorded at XL Recordings last summer and released on Saffron Records. In the face of the EP’s gravity-defying sound design, which depicts the void of grief with bracing viscerality, HANAH’s voice offers a beacon, a way forward, reminiscent of Eartheater. HANAH will be releasing new music in 2025, her third self-produced EP will follow suit this year.
