SUMMARY:Vortex discussion 64 - Does jazz need to (re)radicalise?
DESCRIPTION:At a recent meeting in Austria\, various jazz promoters and radio journalists from across Europe all agreed that jazz in particular (and culture in general) is being branded a ‘luxury’ by governments and runs the risk that\, despite support through the pandemic\, it may be one of the first sectors being starved of funding.\nWhat do we do about it? Jazz itself has its roots in radical activity\, be it racial equality in the US\, or even support for the miners and others in the UK in the 60s. However\, for the past 40 years or so\, it has won a battle to be part of the cultural ‘system’. This now runs the risk of being lost. So how can we find ways forward to help us re-establish our status\, with or without government support.\n\nLed by Oliver Weindling\, Vortex director\, join in on Zoom either actively or passively. All welcome.\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/83401656881?pwd=em1rVm9HNHg0clRkekxaejRMMmM2dz09\n\nMeeting ID: 834 0165 6881\nPasscode: 102750

SUMMARY:Josephine Davies - Satori (1st show)
DESCRIPTION:Line-up:\nJosephine Davies - saxophone\n\nWill Glaser - drums\n\nDave Whitford - bass\n\n \nAbout\nSatori is a Buddhist word meaning a moment of presence and inner spaciousness away from the clutter of thought\, and reflects saxophonist and composer Josephine Davies’ fascination with Japanese philosophy. It is her most recent artistic project\, in which she demonstrates a continuing evolution of sound and style in both her playing and her writing. The deliberate omission of a chordal instrument as well as the frequent absence of regular harmonic sequence allows the compositions to serve as a loose base for the spontaneity and creativity of the players\, giving rise to a uniquely integrated trio sound.\n\nFeaturing the irrepressible musicality of saxophonist Josephine Davies\, drummer James Maddren\, and bassist Dave Whitford\, Satori is an ever-evolving ensemble that defies the categorization of either avant-garde or mainstream jazz\, instead shifting deftly and dynamically through various imaginative soundscapes according to where their shared inspiration takes them.\n\nTheir third album ‘How Can We Wake?’ was released on Whirlwind Recordings in October 2020 to wide acclaim. Inspired by the writings of the Indian sage Patanjali\, this suite of pieces was recorded live in the atmospheric setting of North London’s Oxford Tavern and is a beautifully creative and magical offering from this inimitable trio.\n\n \n\n“Definitely a band to watch.” ★★★★1/2 - Downbeat Magazine\n\n“Winning immediacy.” ★★★★ - Mojo Magazine\n\n“Refreshingly imaginative and invigorating.” - All About Jazz\n\n"Inventive\, Lyrical" - Jazzwise Magazine\n\n"Spiritual\, Spiralling\, Joyful." - UK Vibe\n\n"Fluent\, Imaginative." ★★★★ The JazzMann\n\n \nINSTRUCTIONS FOR AUDIENCE MEMBERS – PLEASE READ\nWelcome to the Vortex. Although the government is relaxing its Covid restrictions on July 19th 2021 the Vortex will continue to operate measures to protect users of the premises.\nPlease note the following:\n\n\n \tPlease buy tickets in advance as there will be no door sales.\n \tWe ask you not to attend gigs if you have or think you may have any Covid-19 symptoms. If you can’t make a gig because you have to self-isolate then just get in touch by filling out this form and we’ll give you a voucher for another gig.\n \tWe will ask you on entry to sign in for NHS Test and Trace either using the NHS Covid app or manually\n \tThere will be no standing at gigs.
