SUMMARY:The Pocket Ellington feat. Tony Kofi & Alan Barnes
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM - 2 set(s) of music\n \nLine-up:\nAlex Webb - Piano/MD\n\nTony Kofi - Tenor Saxophone\n\nAlan Barnes - Alto Saxophone\n\nDavid Lalljee - Trombone\n\nAndy Davies - Trumpet\n\nDave Green - Double Bass\n\nWinston Clifford - Drums\n\n \nAbout\nBorn out of Tony Kofi (reeds) and Alex Webb (piano)’s shared love of Ellington\, The Pocket Ellington manages what ought to be impossible – creating a classic Ellingtonian sound with just four horns and a rhythm section. But with Kofi\, Alan Barnes\, Andy Davies and David Lalljee on hand\, anything is possible.  Veteran bassist Dave Green and powerhouse drummer Winston Clifford provide the swing.\nGreat charts from the 1930s and 1940s – Main Stem\, Rain Check\, Cotton Tail\, Chelsea Bridge and others - are presented in clever new arrangements which evoke the period but also offer solo space to these top-flight musicians.\nThe repertoire also includes pieces from artists and arrangers who were influenced by the Duke – Charles Mingus\, Thelonious Monk and Gil Evans.  It’s a big sound from a pocket band.\n \n\nhttps://youtu.be/f1YKBrj2fOM?si=0ZoXPKcFbKjw4_8x\n\n

SUMMARY:Vortex Lates: Bruno Heinen Trio plays the music of John Taylor feat. Kobe Heath Ngugi and Gene Calderazzo
DESCRIPTION:Doors 10:00 PM\, Finish at 1:00 AM\n \nLine-up:\nBruno Heinen - Piano\n\nKobe Heath Ngugi - Double Bass\n\nGene Calderazzo - Drums\n \nAbout\n“Vortex Lates” is a new series of events taking place in our downstairs bar from 10-1am every Friday or Saturday. A new late-night jazz hang for Dalston where you can grab a drink and listen to some of the best improvised musicians from around the city. For only £6\, check out exciting music from a revolving line-up of innovative performers digging into standards and new music alongside DJs spinning vinyl until the early hours. A relaxed atmosphere and an opportunity to be part of the extended Vortex community.\n\nThis time we are joined by pianist Bruno Heinen with a trio featuring Kobe Heath Ngugi (bass) and Gene Calderazzo (drums).\n\nDescribed by the Guardian as 'eclectic\, eccentric and unobtrusively erudite'\, pianist Dr. Bruno Heinen is equally at home supporting Lee Konitz or Roy Hargrove at the Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club as he is playing with the London Symphony Orchestra at the Barbican conducted by Sir Simon Rattle.\n\nProfessor of jazz piano and composition at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music\, Bruno has written for artists ranging from DJ Vadim to the Camerata Alma Viva string ensemble\, with the Independent noting his 'consitantly intelligent linking voice'. He performs regularly with acclaimed Palestinian singer Reem Kelani\, Larry Bartley's trio and with vocalist / violinist Alice Zawadzki.\n\nHis own quartet 'The W' features Cinematic Orchestra's Heidi Vogel\, Andrea Di Biase (Kenny Wheeler) and Gene Calderazzo (Pharaoh Sanders)...'the band members' highly distinctive musical approaches combine to create a sound of genuine freshness and subtlety****' - Jazzwise Magazine.\n\n
