SUMMARY:Nikki Yeoh’s Infinitum
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:00 PM\, Music 7:30 PM - 1 set of music\n \nLine-up:\nNikki Yeoh - Piano\n\nMichael Mondesir - Bass\n\nMark Mondesir - Drums\n\n \nAbout\nNikki Yeoh’s Infinitum is a long-standing jazz trio project featuring Yeoh on piano alongside brothers Michael (bass) and Mark Mondesir (drums). Known for its close\, intuitive interplay\, the group navigates swiftly shifting grooves\, jazz improvisation\, and genre-bending explorations incorporating classical and electronica influences. The chemistry within Infinitum is so profound that Yeoh likens it to “more of a marriage than a date\,” built on years of musical trust and spontaneous responsiveness. As mentors\, they brought their boundary-pushing sound to the BBC Young Jazz Musician finals in 2020 and 2022\, inspiring the next generation of UK jazz artists. Tonight's special appearance at the EFG London Jazz Festival promises to be a night of fire.\n\n"Yeoh zigzagged drumlike phrases across the Mondesirs’ crackling hip-hop figures\, mixed waltzes and funk\, fed provocative Herbie Hancock-like improv lines to her responsive partners\, and delighted the crowd with her playfulness on Dance of the Two Small Bears." John Fordham - The Guardian\n\n \n\nPhoto Credit: Nick White\n\n \n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9n6l1y1T5U

SUMMARY:Hitchcock/Cohen/Heath-Ngugi/McCarthy (Downstairs)
DESCRIPTION:This event will be held in our downstairs bar\nDoors 10:30 PM\, Music 11:00 PM - 1 set(s) of music\n \nLine-up:\nAlex Hitchcock - Tenor saxophone\nRachael Cohen - Alto saxophone\nKobe Heath-Ngugi - Double bass\nLuke McCarthy - Drum kit\n\n \nAbout\nAlex Hitchcock is a London-born saxophonist\, composer\, arranger\, and producer based in New York. He leads a group formed especially for this London Jazz Festival performance.\n\nSince emerging as a leader\, Hitchcock has released four solo albums to widespread critical acclaim. The Guardian described him as a “virtuoso” saxophonist\, while BBC Jazz World hailed him as “leading the charge in terms of new jazz music being created in the UK.” His work has been featured on the BBC\, France Musique\, WDR\, JazzFM\, Worldwide FM\, and in leading publications such as Downbeat\, MOJO\, Jazzwise\, Musica Jazz\, Stereogum\, and Uncut.\n\nHitchcock is a two-time Ivor Novello Composer Award nominee (2020\, 2022)\, Parliamentary Jazz Awards nominee for Best Album (2023)\, winner of the Peter Whittingham Award (2018)\, and recipient of a major prize at the 2019 Umbria Jazz Festival. His compositions often begin with forms designed to be dismantled: grooves that fray\, harmonies that warp\, structures that appear in unexpected places before disintegrating under collective pressure. Hitchcock has carved out a unique space in contemporary jazz: at times intense and chaotic\, at others disarmingly sparse and direct.\n\n \n\n[embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yn95rss-NxE[/embed]
