PART OF THE EFG LONDON JAZZ FESTIVAL

Free Flow Classikal is returning to Karamel for EFG London Jazz Festival 2025 with a very dynamic lineup: Jonathan Mayer (electric sitar), Shri Ghadvi (tabla), Robin Christian (bansuri), James Pusey (electric guitar) and Jihad Darwish (bass).
Join us for a moving exploration of South Asian Classical music through the medium of free improvisation. No boundaries – No limits.
Jonathan Mayer, son of the late Kolkata composer John Mayer, is a renowned sitarist & composer, who has composed extensively for many genres including jazz, Indian, dance & symphonic writing and has performed all over the world, and two very successful tours in India. His ability to read Western notation has allowed him to perform in a variety of genres – playing with artists such as Orlando Consort, The London Philharmonic Orchestra and BBC Concert Orchestra, among other notable names.
Shri Gadhvi is a versatile tabla player and music producer, with the ability to blend the Indian tabla with popular western music, creating an incredible fusion of music that transcends boundaries and creates a unique experience that will leave a lasting impression. Shri has performed across the globe, as well as at prestigious venues and events such as The Royal Albert Hall, Wembley Arena, The Commonwealth Games and the BBC.
Robin Christian is a music composer and flautist, who plays and directs almost every form of music, which ranges from folk, devotional, soul, classical in both eastern and western fields. With his recognised talent he has been asked to perform with various well-known artists including leading playback singers like Kavita Krishnamurti, Alka Yagnik, Maha Laxmi, K.S. Chitra, Salim Merchant, Bappi Lahiri, Anuradha Paudwal and Shaan, and the famous Gujarati singer Praful Dave, Karshan Sagathia and many more.
James Pusey is a UK-based guitarist who also works as an online session guitarist doing recording sessions from his studio in London, and boasts extensive experience in both Western Music and Indian Music/Sitar. He has performed at notable venues like the Royal Albert Hall, Hammersmith Apollo and o2 London, and has played and recorded around the world with a large number of artists like Omar, G4, Michael Bolton, and Paloma Faith, among others.
Jihad Darwish is a musician, composer, and producer whose artistic journey has evolved towards a deep exploration of sitar and Indian classical music. After years of working across jazz, folk, and contemporary music, collaborating with artists such as Sting, Van Morrison, Anderson Paak, Eric Bibb, Imelda May, Mica Paris and Arthur Verocai, he has increasingly focused on integrating the sitar’s rich tradition into his compositions. He has performed at notable venues such as Ronnie Scott’s, the Barbican to the Sydney Opera House and Montreux Jazz Festival.
Free Flow Classikal is a new border dwelling concept that explores free improvisation across music genres perspective-ed from south Asian classical form – in development at Karamel, home of zerOclassikal, and one of north London’s premiere jazz venues.

Tomorrow's Warriors presents ANKORA
2025-11-21 20:00 - 22:00 | Karamel N22, 4 Coburg Rd, Wood Green, London, N22 6UJ, United Kingdom
PART OF THE EFG LONDON JAZZ FESTIVAL
Doors open 7pm, music starts 8pm.
Ankora is a London based eight-piece ensemble composed of Mali Sheard, Keira Chakraborty, Hannah Clifton, Klara Devlin, Miranda Radford, Tami Adebanjo, Kezia Abuoma and Holly Reinhardt. Meeting at the renowned music organisation Tomorrow’s Warriors, these ambitious young musicians were selected to perform in the flagship development ensemble Tomorrow’s Warriors Frontline, mentored by acclaimed drummer and composer, Romarna Campbell. Ankora is the exciting new step that the ensemble is taking as they journey deeper into the London jazz scene.
The name ‘Ankora’ is derived from the Latin word for ‘anchor’ (ancora), a symbol of groundedness, hope and a connection to roots, a message that spreads through their repertoire of both originals and covers of powerful jazz tunes. The name links to an alternative meaning in Italian of ‘again’, marking the momentum of their rebirth as they continue their musical and artistic journey.
Their influences include the legacies of Freddie Hubbard, Herbie Hancock, Joe Henderson and Wayne Shorter whilst branching out to the more contemporary mastery of Esperanza Spalding, Geri Allen, Jeff ‘Tain’ Watts and Kenny Kirkland. The ensemble takes inspiration from the spark and power of these jazz legends compositionally and stylistically.
Collectively, the members of ‘Ankora’ have already made their mark on the jazz scene through performances at a mix of festivals and venues including Love Supreme Jazz Festival, We Out Here, Dizzy’s Jazz Club (NYC), The Vortex, Brick Lane Jazz Festival and The Jazz Café. Ready for more, the unique, powerful voice of this ensemble is excited to embrace the wonder and diversity of the jazz scene.
*Lineup: Mali Sheard – Saxophone; Keira Chakraborty – Flute; Hannah Clifton – Trumpet; Klara Devlin – Trumpet; Miranda Radford – Drums; Tami Adebanjo – Guitar; Kezia Abuoma – Piano; Holly Reinhardt – Bass. *

PART OF THE EFG LONDON JAZZ FESTIVAL

Henry Lowther’s Still Waters was born out a long association and friendship, going back forty years, between Henry and bassist Dave Green. They both felt that the time had arrived to play the music of their choice, together with some of the finest jazz musicians working in Britain today. As a result Still Waters is now one of the most accomplished, tightly ensembled and creative bands around.
Although a classic quintet of two front line and rhythm, Still Waters plays radical and original music, ranging from gentle, quietly pastoral and melodic music, reflecting the band’s name, through to dynamic, free improvisation. Henry Lowther was born in Leicester, England, in 1941. Over the last 60 years Henry’s work on the British jazz scene reads like a “Who’s Who”. He has played regularly with, amongst many others, Gordon Beck, Michael Garrick, Graham Collier, Mike Gibbs, Pete King, Loose Tubes, John Surman, John Taylor, Stan Tracey and Kenny Wheeler.
