Nat Steele (vibes), Daniel Di Lecce (d bass), Gabriel Latchin (piano) & Steve Brown (drums)

 

This swinging take on the music of the Modern Jazz Quartet (MJQ) of the 1950’s, celebrates his 5 star debut album of the same name. Jazz Choice of the Month in the December BBC Music Magazine, it has received rave reviews since its sell-out launch at Ronnie Scott’s.
Portrait of the MJQ’ is a special project for vibraphone player Nat Steele’s with its unique blend of subtlety and deep swing as it pays tribute to the fiery, boppish stylings of vibes pioneer Milt Jackson.  Combined with this brilliant rhythm section the Quartet is guaranteed to do justice to its inspiration’s timeless music.

The MJQ were one of the most successful and influential jazz groups of the 20th century.  They took jazz out of the club and into the concert hall increasing its popularity and reaching new audiences. Early pioneers of ‘third stream’ fusion, they combined classical compositional techniques with jazz improvisation.

 

Nat Steele is one of the best vibes players this country has ever produced.’

Clark Tracey

 

‘A refreshing treat for the ears’ 5 stars

Art Themen (saxes), Steve Fishwick (trumpet), Gareth Williams (piano), Arnie Somogyi (d bass) & Winston Clifford (drums)

According to The Observer’s Dave Gelly ‘Art Themen is one of the tiny handful of undeniably perfect musicians‘.

He is in constant demand all over the country as a solo attraction and over the years has appeared nationally and internationally with Stan Tracey’s various bands, Alexis Korner in the early days of R’nB and, later, with Cream’s Jack Bruce. A living true legend!

Art’ New Directions was launched a few years ago at Lauderdale and is a band of A List players, with a strict ‘no deps’ rule, which is close to his heart.  Designed by him to look afresh at some of the lesser known gems from jazz’s golden age written by musicians such as Thelonious Monk, Dexter Gordon, Cedar Walton and many more, it is doubtful that you will hear a better band in any idiom than this.

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
