SUMMARY:Art Themen\, Thane & the Villeins
DESCRIPTION:PART OF EFG LONDON JAZZ FESTIVAL 2022! \nFantastically playful\, inventive and one of Britain’s leading tenor saxophonists for over 50 years\,** Art Themen** performs with his trio from the latest album ‘Thane and the Villeins’\, with organist\, Pete Whittaker and drummer\, George Double. \n“A first-rate trio..an excellent set..Themen is one of the very few totally original\, utterly engaging jazz musicians around” ** Dave Gelly – THE OBSERVER** \nExciting and innovative saxophonist\, Art Themen has been a beloved character of the British jazz scene for many years\, famously combining his role as a consultant orthopaedic surgeon with saxophone duties in the bands of Alexis Korner and Stan Tracey among many others. Described by The Observer as “One of the tiny handful of undeniably perfect jazz musicians”\, he remains as brilliant and inimitable as ever. \nWith organist Pete Whittaker\, formerly of The Nigel Price Organ Trio\, and drummer George Double who has worked as sideman to Shirley Bassey and Jack Jones\, Themen has formed a new trio. Their album “Thane & The Villeins” is a collection of groove-led re-imaginings of quirky curiosities from the jazz canon\, acting as a perfect vehicle for the twinkly mischief of this genuine grandee of British jazz. \n*Art Themen (Saxophone). * Born in Lancashire in November 1939\, Art played clarinet at school and in 1958 went to Cambridge University to study medicine where he played in the University jazz group. He moved to London in1961 to study at St. Mary’s Hospital Medical School and began to play on the London scene with Dave Gelly\, Alexis Korner and Graham Bond. He successfully combined his medical career as a consultant orthopaedic surgeon with being a popular jazz musician. He began working with Stan Tracey in 1974 and continued with various Tracey groups until 1995. He was now playing soprano sax and sopranino sax as well as the more usual tenor sax. \nHe started to work with Michael Garrick in the 1960s and continued to work with Michael Garrick’s Sextet and with Don Weller during his long association with Stan Tracey. He has also accompanied many visiting US musicians including Al Haig\, Red Rodney and Billy Mitchell and worked with Nat Adderley. With various groups he has toured extensively including India\, the Middle East\, Greece\, South America\, Switzerland\, Indonesia and played at many festivals. He has a quirky\, very original style of playing. \nHe led own quintet or quartet from 1996 and co-led a band with Alan Barnes and he has continued to freelance into the early 2000s with Georgie Fame and Don Weller amongst others. He now leads the trio ‘Thane & The Villeins’ with Pete Whittaker & George Double. \n*Pete Whittaker (Organ). * Hammond Organist Pete Whittaker studied music at the University of East Anglia\, gaining a masters degree in electroacoustic composition. Having harboured since his mid-teens a subconscious love of jazz\, Pete became very much into the genre while at college. Jazz piano in due course gave way to the discovery of that force-of-nature known to the world as the organist Jimmy Smith\, the single most important jazz Hammond innovator ever. The sound of those old Blue Note and Verve albums from the 1950s and 60s grabbed Pete by his charity-shop lapels and made him determined to recreate the sounds for himself. \nPete was fortunate to gain wider experience and exposure in the 1990s by touring with a couple of high-profile rock bands. The first of these was an Indie-ish melodic rock band (with a distinct folk-music influence) called The Wonder Stuff. Pete toured UK\, Europe and North America with them (on and off)from 1991 to their initial disintegration in 1994. \nSince moving to London in the late 1990s\, Pete has had his backside kicked (musically and literally) by many fine jazz musicians. He will be eternally grateful to them all\, and strives to learn from their talent and his own mistakes. \n*George Double (Drums). * George’s playing and recording credits include Dame Shirley Bassey\, Grammy Award Winner Jack Jones\, Marc Almond\, Mica Paris\, Ruthie Henshall and Kym Mazelle. His West End and touring theatre record includes stints on Wicked\, Guys and Dolls\, Avenue Q\, Sinatra and Anything Goes. \nHe is active on the British jazz scene and appears regularly at Ronnie Scott’s club in London and elsewhere as a freelancer (with Chris Ingham\, John Etheridge\, Art Themen\, Digby Fairweather\, Derek Nash and many others). He is also curator of Hadleigh and Southwold Jazz Clubs. \nGeorge is a senior drum kit consultant for Trinity College London. His books and arrangements are published by Trinity and Faber Music\, for whom he has run seminars and workshops in Hong Kong\, Singapore\, Malaysia\, Dubai and Abu Dhabi as well as at MusikMesse Frankfurt\, the London Drum Show and around the UK. He worked as an examiner for Trinity and formerly\, Guildhall School of Music and Drama from 2002-2016. \nVideo clip: https://youtu.be/0PVffJtt3J8?t=14 \nVideo trailer: https://youtu.be/IaVe-ewSpls \nDoors open 7pm\, music from 8pm.

SUMMARY:AKDC band - Indo Jazz
DESCRIPTION:CLOSING GIG OF THE EFG LONDON JAZZ FESTIVAL 2022! \nCafé Kathak – Launched last year at Café Oto\, the AKDC band brings improvisational Kathak rhythms to blend with Jazz instruments to create a new never heard before sound to Indo Jazz. \nIntricate footwork performed by the critically acclaimed kathak artist Amina Khayyam to the complex mathematical patterns of Debashish Mukherjee’s tabla\, and layered by vocals by Sohini Alam\, cello by Iain McHugh and vocalised parhants by Jane Chan. \nA critically acclaimed performer\, choreographer and dance theatre maker\, Amina Khayyam began her Kathak dance training with Alpana Sengupta in Croydon progressing to professional level with Sushmita Ghosh at The Bhavan (London) under whose guidance she made her professional debut at the Purcell Room\, Southbank. Alpana introduced Amina to performance and instilled in her a deep passion to pursue it as a career. Kathak\, one of the main genres of Indian classical dance\, is traditionally regarded to have originated from the travelling bards of North India referred as Kathakars or storytellers. These Kathakars wandered around and communicated legendary stories via music\, dance and songs quite like the early Greek theatre. The Kathakars communicate stories through rhythmic foot movements\, hand gestures\, facial expressions and eye work. \nDebasish Mukherjee is among the leading tabla players to have emerged from the great musical hub of Calcutta. He trained with the doyen of the legendary Benares gharana\, Pandit Kishan Maharaj\, as well as with his father Pandit Kanai Mukherjee and with his father’s Guru\, Pandit Nanku Maharaj\, for over two decades from 1976. A sought-after soloist and accompanist for music and dance\, Debasish has played for such luminaries as Pandit Birju Maharaj (dance)\, Ustad Rashid Khan (vocal)\, Pandit Rajan Shajan Mishra (vocal) and Pandit Budhaditya Mukherjee (sitar) amongst others. An “A-grade” artist with All India Radio\, Debasish maintains a performance profile in India\, the UK and Europe. \nAs a vocalist\, Sohini Alam has worked on music for dance\, theatre\, and film. She is the lead singer of the bands Khiyo\, Lokkhi Terra and has performed internationally on stage\, radio\, and television. Sohini is trained primarily in Nazrul Sangeet but has since branched out into folk\, Rabindra Sangeet and contemporary music. While she sings mainly in Bengali\, she has also sung in English for After Art\, in English/Spanish for Lokkhi Terra and in English/Hindi for Kanjoos – The Miser\, Dick Whittington Goes Bollywood\, and Bollywood Cinderella. She sang in Tamil and Roma for a collaboration with the Mongooses Musical Playbox and in Yoruba for Lokkhi Terra’s CubAfrobeat collaboration with Dele Sosimi. \nIain McHugh is a Cellist born and trained in Scotland. Iain studied Cello at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland under Robert Irvine and Rudi De Groote and in 2013\, he joined the Roslin String quartet. Iain has performed premieres in a number of different events festivals across Scotland including: Against All Things Ending (Simon Smith); Harbour Dreams (Oliver Searle); Game (Claire McCue) at The Cottier Chamber Project; many new works in the RCS PLUG festivals; and the operas Welcome Inn (Jason Staddon) and Puddle Wonderful (Matthew Whiteside) at Sound Festival in Aberdeen. \nDoors open 5pm\, performance from 6pm.
