SUMMARY:'some things presents: Ben Higham / Paul Jolly'
DESCRIPTION:Some Things (Chris Dowding and Ben Higham) is an ‘arresting trumpet duo’ from Norwich hosting a short residency at the Vortex Downstairs during the London Jazz festival. When not playing with Rude 2.0\, Natural Causes\, The Brass Monkeys\, Monk Inc. and Arthur amongst others\, Chris and Ben get together to explore a mixture of original material and unusual standards as the basis for improvisations\, building on the textures created by tight unison patterns and interlocking solos.\n\nThis residency provides an opportunity for Dowding and Higham to engage in impromptu performances with two of their of their favourite saxophonists. Tonight some things will set the scene with a set followed by a spontaneous collaboration between improviser Paul Jolly (The People Band\, 33 Jazz Records) and Ben Higham .

SUMMARY:Rae Forrest Project + Monocled Man
DESCRIPTION:\n\nRae Forrest Project\n\n“People should be able to feel their own lives as deeply as possible in the most uplifting way.”\n\nWith this in mind\, music merges with images\, and dance to create a very special event. Haunting soulful vocals meet a cotemporary soundworld of piano\, bass lines\, beats and soundscapes as award-winning singer\, photographer and writer Paula Rae Gibson and bassist and producer Mike Flynn return with a completely new set of music following their collaborative 2013 on Babel album\, The Pleasure of Ruin. Exploring deeply personal themes of love\, lust and loss Gibson’s lyrics combine with her bewitching vocals and accompanying imagery that takes an unflinching and honest approach to self-analysis\, with witty and often moving results. Bassist and laptopist Flynn and talented jazz keyboardist Sam Leak create an uplifting and immersive sonic backdrop of contemporary beats\, hypnotic chords and sensual melodies that are both tough and tender.\nTHE PLEASURE OF RUIN by RAE FOREST PROJECTMonocled Man\n\nMonocled Man\, led by trumpet player Rory Simmons present music from their new Whirlwind Records album. This new set of music features appearances from guest vocalists Ed Begley and Emilia Mårtensson\, with material inspired by inhabitants of isolated islands around the globe. Sequenced analog synths\, and beds of distorted guitars give way to spacey\, cinematic drones. Featuring Troyka’s Chris Monatgue on guitar and Kairos 4tet’s Jon Scott on drums.\n\n“Monocled Man are another fierce contender on the UK’s triving alt\, electric jazz scene.”\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrTI0uLV61E\n\n

DESCRIPTION:The Sam Leak Big Band present Summer Tales and Winding Roads\n\nMarking a year since its first performance\, Sam Leak returns to Soho's Spice of Life to revisit his extended suite for big band.
