SUMMARY:Trish Clowes - MY IRIS
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM - 2 set(s) of music\n \nLine-up:\nTrish Clowes - Saxophone\n\nChris Montague - Guitar\n\nRoss Stanley - Piano\n\nJoel Barford - Drums\n\n \nAbout\nSaxophonist and composer Trish Clowes leads MY IRIS\, an intense and thrilling quartet with Ross Stanley (piano / Hammond organ)\, Chris Montague (guitar) and Joel Barford (drums). Dedicated to exploration and adroit writing\, Clowes provides her bandmates with a unique platform for individual expression and group interplay\, delivering driving grooves and lingering melodic lines\, seamlessly morphing between earthy restlessness and futuristic dreamscapes.\n\nClowes is currently an Associate Artist at Wigmore Hall (London)\, and her recorded music can be found on US indie label Greenleaf Music\, and UK labels Stoney Lane Records & Basho Records. Having been previously commissioned to write for ensembles such as the BBC Concert Orchestra and the London Sinfonietta\, Clowes appeared as a guest soloist with the NDR Big Band (Germany) in November 2024\, performing a new set of her own music entitled ‘Radiant Resistance’.\n\nMY IRIS have toured internationally and made broadcasts for BBC Radio 3 and Radio Bremen. In May 2024 the band were joined by US trumpeter-composer Dave Douglas (who is also the artistic director of Greenleaf Music) for a series of dates at the Pizza Express Jazz Club in London\, Cheltenham Jazz Festival\, and Bray Jazz Festival in Ireland. Other notable performances for the band include Wigmore Hall\, Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club\, Karlsruhe Jazz Festival\, LOFT Cologne\, Rochester International Jazz Festival (Made In The UK showcase)\, Toronto International Jazz Festival\, Galway Jazz Festival\, and the Barbican (London Jazz Festival).\n\nClowes has released a series of albums with MY IRIS\, ‘Wild Swimming’ (2023)\, ‘A View with a Room’ (2022)\, ‘Ninety Degrees Gravity’ (2019) and ‘My Iris’ (2017). Her 2019 music video ‘Abbott & Costello’ – also a track from ‘Ninety Degrees Gravity’ – was directed by film maker Rose Hendry and went on to be screened at the Cannes Lions Festival and shortlisted for The Voice Of A Woman Awards 2019.\n\n“an incredible band” - Jamie Cullum\, BBC Radio 2\n\n“an improviser to be reckoned with” - Downbeat Magazine\n\n“brilliant” - Gilles Peterson\, BBC Radio 6 Music\n\n“Trish Clowes is one of the brightest stars to have emerged during the so-called British jazz boom of the past decade or more…The playing is rarely less than inspired… she is a musician of great sensitivity and strength.” - Philip Watson\, The Irish Times\, 4.5 STARS for ‘Journey to Where‘\n\n\nPhoto credit: Chris Kelly\n\n \n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHf2ZVWVpO8

DESCRIPTION:Doors 10:30 PM - 1 set of music\n \nLine-up:\nKezia Abuoma - piano\n\nMiranda Radford - drums\n\nAleks Dimitrova - bass\n \nAbout\n“Vortex Lates” is a series of events taking place in our downstairs bar on 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 with special drinks offers each night and an opportunity to be part of the extended Vortex community.\n\nSULA is a new trio project made up of drummer Miranda Radford\, bassist Aleks Dimitrova and pianist Kezia Abuoma. All currently studying jazz at Trinity Laban\, these exciting young musicians have come up through hailed organisations like Tomorrow’s Warriors\, mentored by the likes of Nikki Yeoh and Deschanel Gordon and Will Cleasby. As both bandleaders and sidewomen\, they have performed at venues such as The Vortex\, The Jazz Cafe and Dizzy’s Club in New York. Taking inspiration from the likes of Kris Davis\, Wayne Shorter and Jeff ‘Tain’ Watts\, these three unique voices have come together to play both their original compositions and other music that is inspired by the energetic sounds of modern-day jazz.
