DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM - 2 set(s) of music\n \nLine-up:\nAlice Leggett - Alto Saxophone\n\nJames Copus - Trumpet\n\nRick Simpson - Piano\n\nFreddie Jensen - Bass\n\nJames Maddren - Drums\n\n \nAbout\nAlice Leggett returns to the Vortex with her quintet playing a combination of material from her debut album 'Birdsong' as well as some new material.\n\nAlice Leggett is an alto saxophonist\, composer\, and bandleader rapidly emerging as a distinct voice in the European jazz scene. Originally from Cardiff\, Wales\, she is now based in Amsterdam after spending seven formative years in London. She is known for her expressive sound\, melodic statements\, and a compositional approach that balances lyricism with bold rhythmic and harmonic exploration.\n\nDeeply rooted in the jazz tradition\, her influences range from Charlie Parker\, John Coltrane\, Sonny Rollins\, Ornette Coleman and Wayne Shorter to modern innovators such as Kurt Rosenwinkel\, Ambrose Akinmusire\, Mark Turner\, Immanuel Wilkins\, Ben van Gelder\, and Melissa Aldana. Her own writing blends intriguing forms and emotive themes with a strong improvisational core\, showcasing a voice that is both personal and vibrant.\n\nAlice released her debut album Birdsong in 2025\, featuring an ensemble of leading UK and Dutch musicians. The album received critical acclaim with reviews in Jazzism\, De Volkskrant\, and Jazzwise\, and was supported by a six-date UK tour funded by Arts Council England.’\n\n
