Remembering Blossom Dearie
Zoe Francis (voice), Jim Mullen (guitar), Barry Green (piano) & Mick Hutton (d bass)
Zoe Francis is “a singer to listen out for. She communicates a love and understanding of classic American song with the lightest of touches. A classy set.” – The Guardian.
Tonight she weaves new magic and wit into the repertoire of Blossom Dearie, the legendary 1950’s and 60’s American pianist/singer who was a well-loved regular at Ronnie Scott’s, where Zoe also sold out earlier this year. Zoe’s harmonic knowledge, immaculate articulation, and ‘grip’ on time – an absolute essential for jazz musicians – wins her the admiration of her three brilliant colleagues, who are all heavyweight names on the British jazz scene.

Remembering Blossom Dearie
Zoe Francis (voice), Jim Mullen (guitar), Barry Green (piano) & Mick Hutton (d bass)
Zoe Francis is a young generation singer who has a knack of choosing the more unusual classic songs into which she can weave new magic. ‘a singer to listen out for. She communicates a love and understanding of classic American song with the lightest of touches. A classy set.’ The Guardian
Choosing to remember Blossom Dearie, the legendary American pianist/singer who spent a lot of time in the fifties and sixties in London and Paris, is a masterstroke, for she too had an incredible ear for the less well trodden. A well-loved regular at Ronnie Scott’s Blossom enjoyed the respect of great musicians such as bassist Jeff Clyne and drummer Johnny Butts.
Zoe makes no attempt to copy Blossom’s unique vocal sound. Her harmonic knowledge, immaculate articulation, and ‘grip’ on time – an absolute essential for jazz musicians – wins her the admiration of her three brilliant colleagues.
Her loving interpretation of rare gems is steeped in musicality and, frequently, wit. A special singer indeed.
She will be singing some of Blossom’s most popular songs including work by Cy Coleman, the prolific writing duo Comden and Green and famously Dave Frishbergs I’m Hip, Peel Me A Grape and My Attorney Bernie. This gig sold out at Ronnie Scott’s in January – don’t miss this chance to catch it in Highgate!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1N-8TQClg0
“There is a quality in Zoe Francis’s work that suggests something of the classic singers of the past, yet there is no obvious attempt to be anyone but herself, with an appealing freshness as well as technical command that make her shows well worth seeking out. . . .”, London Jazz News
‘With his unique, mellow guitar sound and his ability to spin a seemingly effortless stream of melody, Jim Mullen never fails to keep your ears fully occupied.’ The Guardian

The predictability of Chaos and the uncertainty of Order are the focus for this dynamic and colourful exhibition of paintings and drawings at Highgate Gallery from May 18th until May 31st.
Order and Chaos philosophies have peppered religious and scientific history for millennia with ideas formed around the ‘Chaos Theory’ coming to the fore in the middle of last century. These are the subject matter for playful new works, many executed in low relief which adds to the visual uncertainty – a change in the angle of view reveals aspects that cannot be seen from elsewhere.
Slade trained Stephen Brooks has often played with ideas and questions that have created ideological dilemmas. This was also the case in a previous exhibition, ‘Ptolemy’s Mythtake’ at Highgate Gallery in 2008.
For further information please contact: steve@stephenjbrooks.co.uk
Highgate Gallery open Tue-Fri 1-5; Sat 11-4; Sun 11-5. Closed Mon.
Exhibition continues until 31 May.
Steve Brooks trained in Fine Art at the Harris College of Art, Preston, and the Slade School of Fine Art UCL.
For several years he was the Studio Assistant to Richard Hamilton, a founder of the British Pop Art Movement, who lived in Highgate before moving to Oxfordshire,
Alongside Steve’s fine art career he taught Design and Drawing in Oxfordshire, Bournemouth and London whilst also being involved in a graphic design business with his wife.
Having lived and worked in various parts of the UK including The Orkney Isles, Dorset, London, Oxfordshire and Wales, he is now based in Herefordshire.
He has held one man shows in London, the Home Counties and Herefordshire, and was chosen to represent Herefordshire as the Three Choirs Festival Artist in 2006. His paintings and drawings are in collections in the UK, Europe and overseas.
Steve’s connection with Highgate goes back to the 70s where he lived and worked. He had two one man shows at the Highgate Society building, one being an exhibition of Drawings and Etchings of Highgate Cemetery in an effort to raise awareness and funds for the then neglected site.
Chaos2 is his third Exhibition at Highgate Literary and Scientific Institution’s Highgate Gallery.

David Gordon (piano), Paul Cavaciuti (drums) and Oli Hayhurst (d. bass)
Piano virtuoso David Gordon’s ‘Alexander Scriabin’s Ragtime Band’ is a celebration of the great Russian composer’s music seen through a kaleidoscope of jazz, Latin, and other influences. The CD was chosen as Mojo’s Jazz CD of 2016: ‘David Gordon is a musician of dazzling range. Here he presents a playful, ingenious, irreverent and deeply respectful reimagining of the eccentric Russian composer’s oeuvre in which Scriabin’s music is filtered through Irving Berlin, foo-de-oh-do vocals, impressionistic jazz, ambient electro, samba, and whatever else occurs to the extravagantly resourceful pianist.’ – Mojo
The David Gordin Trio will perform at Lauderdale House on 24 May. The concert begins at 8.30pm, with doors opening at 8pm and the cafe open late into the evening selling drinks and snacks!

Piano virtuoso David Gordon’s ‘Alexander Scriabin’s Ragtime Band’ is a celebration of the great Russian composer’s music seen through a kaleidoscope of jazz, Latin, and other influences. The title comes from his Trio’s 2015 album which coincided with the hundredth anniversary of Scriabin’s death and, more or less, the birth of jazz in New Orleans.
It was chosen as Mojo’s Jazz CD of 2016: ‘David Gordon is a musician of dazzling range. Here he presents a playful, ingenious, irreverent and deeply respectful reimagining of the eccentric Russian composer’s oeuvre in which Scriabin’s music is filtered through Irving Berlin, foo-de-oh-do vocals, impressionistic jazz, ambient electro, samba, and whatever else occurs to the extravagantly resourceful pianist.’ Mojo
Our programmer Brina Blain says,’The bottom line is that this is as tight and hard swinging a trio as we heard anywhere last year.’
On very rare occasions when listening to the first few bars of the opening track of an album you know that what you are about to hear will be immense. This was such an occasion…. truly outstanding album.’ jazzviews.net

He had two one man shows at the Highgate Society building, one being an exhibition of Drawings and Etchings of Highgate Cemetery in an effort to raise awareness and funds for the then neglected site.

The predictability of Chaos and the uncertainty of Order are the focus for this dynamic and colourful exhibition of paintings and drawings at Highgate Gallery from May 18th until May 31st.
Order and Chaos philosophies have peppered religious and scientific history for millennia with ideas formed around the ‘Chaos Theory’ coming to the fore in the middle of last century. These are the subject matter for playful new works, many executed in low relief which adds to the visual uncertainty – a change in the angle of view reveals aspects that cannot be seen from elsewhere.
Slade trained Stephen Brooks has often played with ideas and questions that have created ideological dilemmas. This was also the case in a previous exhibition, ‘Ptolemy’s Mythtake’ at Highgate Gallery in 2008.

Sulzman / Iles Duo
Stan Sulzman (saxes) & Nikki Iles (piano)
8.30pm (doors open 8pm)
£12 / £10 concession / £7 student
concessions limited to disability, people on benefits (not over 60’s)
Saxophonist Sulzmann and pianist Iles are two of the most highly regarded musicians and composers in the UK. This, combined with their long standing musical friendship, respect and collaboration of over 20 years promises a truly inspiring evening.
Each holds the other in the highest regard and their object is ‘…to play tunes that we like, and, probably, a couple that we have written ourselves
‘Two musicians at the top of their game…had the audience captivated’ Mike Gordan, Director Scarborough Jazz Festival
Stan’s long career has taken in almost every kind of session work. Recently he has chosen to do what he loves best, from writing for, and leading his magnificent Neon Jazz Orchestra, to augmenting Jim Mullen’s driving Organ Trio: to say nothing of his key composition classes at The Royal Academy of Music.
Best Pianist in the 2017 British Jazz Awards Nikki Iles is simply one of our most outstanding pianists, one of the few to be compared to the late John Taylor. A prolific composer with numerous commissions, as well as great performer she is also a widely respected teacher and key member of The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music.
This will be an evening to savour – like good Burgundy

‘Iles displayed the rhythmic surprises, shape shifting phrases, playful dialogue with a mix of ruggedness and reflection that make her comparable with the great John Taylor.’ The Guardian (John Fordham)
‘But a shining light of the whole attractive enterprise is the presence of Stan Sulzmann, who seems to sound more personal and hauntingly moving than ever.’ John Fordham, Jazz UK

Talented oboist Liesbeth Allart performs live at Lauderdale House in a celebration of solo repertoire for the oboe.
In this concert, Liesbeth explores the Oboe’s deeper and more sonorous relations with the Oboe d’Amore and the Cor Anglais. Rarely seen together in a single recital, these instruments first get to display their particular individual qualities in works by CPE Bach, Benjamin Britten, John Rushby-Smith and Vincent Persichetti, after which they join forces in possibly one of the most exciting works ever written for solo oboe: “Solo” by the Italian composer Bruno Maderna.
Liesbeth Allart is a freelance oboist enjoying a varied career. Based in the UK, and with family ties in the Netherlands and Ireland, she has played with orchestras and ensembles throughout Europe, including the BBC Concert Orchestra, RTÉ Concert Orchestra, and the Netherlands Symphony Orchestra, as well as acting as Artistic Director of De Bezetting Speelt, a chamber group in the Netherlands, for ten years. As a keen interpreter of contemporary music, Liesbeth has taken part in the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival and is a regular guest with the Insomnio Ensemble in the Netherlands.
Liesbeth Allart’s solo Oboe Recital will take place at Lauderdale House on 1 April at 7.30pm. Doors open at 7pm.
