Doors open 2pm, music from 3pm.
SUNDAY AFTERNOON JAZZ with Dave Green, bassist and Sam Braysher, saxophonist.
Line-up: Dave Green – bass, Sam Braysher – alto saxophone, Josh Morrison – drums.
Dave Green – No musician can have covered more of the British jazz scene than bassist Dave Green. From Humphrey Lyttelton to Stan Tracey, not to mention some of the grandest visitors to Ronnie Scott’s, he has understood and underpinned them all.
Green’s first public performances were with his childhood friend Charlie Watts in the late 1950s. While performing with Humphrey Lyttelton from 1963 to 1983, Green also played with the Don Rendell–Ian Carr band in the early 1960s, and went on to play with Stan Tracey. In the early 1980s, Green led his own group, Fingers, featuring Lol Coxhill, Bruce Turner and Michael Garrick Green regularly backed visiting American stars at Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club, including Coleman Hawkins, Ben Webster, Roland Kirk and Sonny Rollins. Green has also performed and recorded with Dave Newton, Didier Lockwood and Spike Robinson. In 1991, Green was a founding member of Charlie Watts’s quintet, together with Gerard Presencer, Peter King and Brian Lemon.
Since 1998, Green has led a trio featuring Iain Dixon and Gene Calderazzo, and since 2009, he has been a member of The ABC&D of Boogie Woogie, with Ben Waters, Axel Zwingenberger and Charlie Watts, performing at the Lincoln Center with Bob Seeley and Lila Ammons.
Sam Braysher saxophonist – ‘I can’t think of another alto saxophonist with a sound quite like Sam Braysher’s’ ★★★★ (Dave Gelly, The Observer)
‘Braysher’s cool, modernist twist on old songs is just superb’ (Simon Adams, Jazz Journal)
Doors open 2pm, music from 3pm. Free entry. Please RSVP via the ticket link.

Tonight they are joined by saxophonist Josephine Davies. Winner of the 2019 Parliamentary Award ‘Jazz Instrumentalist of the year’, Josephine Davies is a musical artist at the forefront of the UK contemporary music scene, pushing the boundaries of jazz with her current main artistic project Satori – a sax/bass/drums trio with an emphasis on extended and collaborative improvisation.

George Crotty Trio
2024-03-07 20:00 - 22:00 | Karamel N22, 4 Coburg Rd, Wood Green, London, N22 6UJ, United Kingdom
Doors open 7pm, music starts at 8pm.
Band line-up: George Crotty, (cello), John Murchison (bass) , Jeremy Smith, (percussion)
Known for their expressive fluidity and modal orientation, The George Crotty Trio engages in cross-cultural interplay within modal jazz, Indian raga, and Arabic maqam, all while pushing the boundaries of the cello as a jazz instrument, on which bandleader George Crotty has forged his own exciting vocabulary.
Following his graduation from the Berklee College of Music, Crotty immersed himself in New York’s jazz and world music scenes, playing with several ensembles, such as the Brooklyn Raga Massive, and the Detroit-based National Arab Orchestra. Additionally, he has enjoyed fruitful collaborations with Simon Shaheen, Paquito D’Rivera, Anat Cohen, and Darol Anger.
Powered by percussionist Jeremy Smith and bassist John Murchsion, The George Crotty Trio’s sound deviates from a trio’s typical hierarchy. The three players intertwine on their own spontaneous terms in an exploration of groove and colour, lending Crotty’s tunes an exciting three-dimensional quality.
“Transcends the trio format.” – The WholeNote
“A stream of genre-blurring invention.” – All About Jazz
“Sounds like the cosmopolitan centre Toronto is.” – Canadian Music Centre

Collage Arts are thrilled to support Rose Marie Prins to facilitate 2 workshops for artists, leading to a multimedia exhibition.
Through our* workshops, we invite artists from the world over to participate in They Had No Time to Say Goodbye, a multimedia installation about missing and murdered indigenous women in North America. #MMIW #MMIWG
During the workshops, participants draw portraits of North American Indigenous women to incorporate into the installation. Some may then choose to tape their drawings onto a window, tape an x-ray over it, and scratch their portrait onto the x-ray which will be added to the installation. Those who choose not to scratch portraits on x-rays are invited to donate their drawings of Indigenous women to the project.
*“Our” refers to my two Diné (Navajo) collaborators, Patricia Yazzie Olson, Roberta Begaye and me.
