SUMMARY:The W [downstairs]
DESCRIPTION:Doors 6:30 PM\, Music 7:30 PM - 1 set(s) of music\n \nLine-up:\nBruno Heinen - Piano\n\nHeidi Vogel - Voice\n\nAndrea Di Biase - Double Bass\n\nGene Calderazzo - Drums\n\n \nAbout\nMemorable lines\, melodic grooves and diverse references inform the debut album by Bruno Heinen’s The W\, released on Ubuntu Music. Through original compositions – each one telling a personal story and featuring some of the UK’s hottest and most in-demand players\, The W is a newly established London-based contemporary jazz quartet of outstanding musicality creating chamber jazz that is as exciting and inventive\, as it is elegant and sophisticated.\n\nAs vocalist for the Cinematic Orchestra for over 15 years and the go-to vocalist for acts such as Thundercat\, Soweto Kinch and Chick Corea\, Heidi Vogel has long been a critics choice for her extraordinary voice and velvet tone. Her sublime wordless vocals bring a contemporary\, stylish sound to The W.\n\nOn drums is London-based New Yorker Gene Calderazzo\, a leading figure on the international jazz scene whose vast portfolio include performances with Pharoah Sanders\, Radiohead and Wayne Krantz to name a few.\n\nOn double bass is Italian Andrea Di Biase who has performed with many leading figures in British jazz such as Stan Sultzman\, Norma Winstone and Kenny Wheeler.\n\nThe group is led by composer and improvising pianist\, Bruno Heinen\, who has worked with the likes of Shabaka Hutchings\, ESKA\, and the LSO. The Independent describes him as a consistently intelligent linking voice\, a fair summation of the way in which he brings these four unique musicians together through his original compositions.\n\nLike the four equal lines that make up the letter ‘W’\, the four members of the group come together as one to create a perfectly balanced and compelling new sound. They are a band in the true sense of the word. They meet regularly\, learning the music by heart and shaping Bruno’s distinctive compositions together.\n\n"Demonstrating that originality doesn’t have to be complicated" Observer\n\n \n\n[embed]https://youtu.be/ttDu2vw4c_I[/embed]\n\n

SUMMARY:Sultan Stevenson 'Faithful One'
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM - 2 set(s) of music\n \nLine-up:\nSultan Stevenson - Piano\n\nJosh Short - Trumpet\n\nJacob Gryn - Double bass\n\nMichael Wang - Drums\n \nAbout\nPianist Sultan Stevenson is one of the fastest emerging young artists on the London jazz scene. His trio is already established as an outfit to catch when billed to play live and is being tipped for success on national and international stages. He is releasing his much anticipated debut album ‘Faithful One’ on Whirlwind Recordings in March of 2023. In May of 2023 Sultan’s trio are embarking on UK wide tour of the release.\n\nSultan’s approach to composition and playing has already been compared to that of McCoy Tyner and Esbjörn Svensson and\, over the past year\, his trio has played standout gigs at Jazz re:freshed\, the Vortex and the Jazz Café where the band opened for the great Billy Cobham. Their Pizza Express gig during the 2021 EFG London Jazz Festival was a sell-out.\n\n“His way of placing silences and making a simple four-note lick grow into something significant showed an incipient master at work.” The Telegraph\n \n[embed]https://youtu.be/_NWMH_98lUo[/embed]
