SUMMARY:Vortex discussion 71 - Freedom! How important is it? (contd)
DESCRIPTION:How important is freedom for expression of individuality\, such as in jazz. How is it shown?\n\n'Freedom'\, according to a new book by Louis Menand\, has been a cornerstone of art and culture in western society since 1945. He cites artists such as Jackson Pollock. But does it not extend to our music? What is the minimum required? Or is it a myth\, which we have been mistakenly beholden to? Are there other\, better ways to encourage expression as an individual?\n\nJoin our weekly Zoom conversation\, led by Vortex director Oliver Weindling. Be as active or passive as you want!\n\n\n\n \n\n \n\nTopic: Vortex discussion 71\nTime: Sep 15\, 2021 05:30 PM London\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/85035342070?pwd=LzkrYlBuREhaV2xnaUVJREsrVDcwZz09\n\nMeeting ID: 850 3534 2070\nPasscode: 187189\n\n \n\n

SUMMARY:Loz Speyer Quartet (1st show)
DESCRIPTION:\nLocal trumpeter and composer Loz Speyer returns to the Vortex\, for the first outing playing his own music since lockdown - in his Quartet featuring Hannes Riepler and a brilliant new rhythm section. Both sets include jazz tunes built to last from a range of Speyer albums\, and new ones never yet heard composed during lockdown.\nLine-up:\nLoz Speyer - trumpet\, flugelhorn\nHannes Riepler - guitar\nSteve Watts - double bass\nAlfonso Vitale - drums\nAbout\n"A set of immaculate hard bop compositions… bright trumpet with a tone combining generous doses of Brownie and hints of Woody Shaw or mid-period Miles… The band is both fluid and tight\, able to navigate the quick-shifting rhythms and accents of Speyer’s songs quite nimbly.” - David Lewis\, Cadence (USA) - reviewing the Loz Speyer Quartet album\, Two Kinds of Blue (33 Records)\n\n"My tunes for this quartet are anchored in the Jazz tradition - some moving in the direction of free jazz\, which we delves into more fully with Inner Space; others more towards the Cuban clave\, explored and exploded in my band Time Zone… All this offset with a few pieces by Thelonious Monk which Hannes and I have been working on for a while now\, and have been a huge influence on my writing.\n\nWe hope the gig will also help towards a new fund I have set up to help support the families of two Cuban musicians I collaborated with in Proyecto Evocación\, in Santiago de Cuba. 18 months on they are still without work due to ongoing Coronavirus restrictions and a strict curfew\, and suffering rising prices and severe shortages of food and medicines."\n\nLoz Speyer\n\n[embed]https://vimeo.com/316680441[/embed]\nINSTRUCTIONS FOR AUDIENCE MEMBERS – PLEASE READ\nWelcome to the Vortex.
