Henry Lowther - Still Waters
2024-07-04 20:00 - 22:00 | Karamel N22, 4 Coburg Rd, Wood Green, London, N22 6UJ, United Kingdom
Doors open 7pm, music starts at 8pm.
Line Up: Henry Lowther (trumpet), Pete Hurt (tenor sax), Alcyona Mick (piano), Dave Green (bass),
Paul Clarvis (drums).
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
“Meltingly attractive solos, startling originality.” (Chris Parker, Vortex review).

Women in Jazz Media presents Jazz Sisters: a celebration of vocal jazz. A benefit event for Anita Wardell
Doors open 7pm, music starts at 8pm.
Lineup: Vimala Rowe, vocals; Lily Dior, vocals; Esther Bennett, vocals; Diana Torti, vocals; Fiona Ross, vocals; Wendy Kirkland, piano.
A special event to celebrate jazz vocalists and women in the jazz industry to raise money for renowned jazz vocalist Anita Wardell. Five outstanding vocalists from the British jazz scene, Vimala Rowe, Lily Dior, Esther Bennett, Diana Torti and Fiona Ross will bring their unique artistry to a range of jazz standards in an evening full of jazz tradition and elegant atmosphere, accompanied by one of the UK’s most loved pianists, Wendy Kirkland.
Esther Bennet one of the jazz scene’s most highly respected and widely loved vocalists “…in her voice she possesses a most remarkable instrument…” (Jazzwise).
“Wendy Kirkland impresses on every level. Superb. Recommended.” (Kind of Jazz).
The powerful award-winning singer Vimala Rowe “…a singer of quite astonishing versatility and adaptability…” (London Jazz News).
The Australian Jazz & Soul Singer/Songwriter Lily Dior: “…her singing seems to tap into her innermost feelings…” (Cabaret Scenes).
Italian vocalist Diana Torti “…an imaginative improviser who responds easily to musical impulse…” (The New York Jazz City Records).
The award winning Jazz vocalist, pianist, producer and composer Fiona Ross (also founder of Women in Jazz Media) “Her talents are simply extraordinary.” (Kind Of Jazz).
A special night that is a benefit event to support the extraordinary and inspiring jazz singer Anita Wardell. Anita is not only an elegant and unique artist, but also a caring, generous friend and loving person. Anita was scheduled to perform at Karamel on this night. Unfortunately, she has recently suffered from a stroke during the interval of a recent gig. Her bandmates quickly drove her to the hospital saving her life. Now Anita is working tenaciously on her recovery and is slowly getting better. She is having daily intensive physiotherapy sessions which are already bringing positive results. As she will not be able to perform nor to teach for some times, she needs financial help. All the proceeds raised with the event will be donated to support her recovery.
Any help is much appreciated and in case you will not able to attend the event you can support and make a donation through this link, on the GoFundMe page created by her close friends and family to support her: https://gofund.me/84a7299b
As stated on the page: “We hope this crowd funding appeal will help Anita have some kind of stability in the coming months while she recuperates”.

Steve Fishwick Quartet
2024-06-06 20:00 - 22:00 | Karamel N22, 4 Coburg Rd, Wood Green, London, N22 6UJ, United Kingdom
Doors open 7pm, music starts at 8pm.
Line-up: Steve Fishwick (trumpet), Leon Greening (piano), Matyas Hofecker (bass), Matt Home (drums).
Steve Fishwick is widely considered to be one of the best jazz trumpet players ever to come from the UK, and rapidly gaining a global reputation thanks to his flawless technique and his beautifully flowing, harmonically rich improvisations.
He is one of an increasing number of trumpeters who have been heavily influenced by the melodic approach of the late great Kenny Dorham, a figure often overlooked (and undeservedly so) in the pantheon of Jazz Trumpet Legends. As well as “K.D.”, Steve cites Art Farmer, Miles Davis and Woody Shaw among his favourite players, but his style is very much his own.
Trumpet great Wynton Marsalis recently said about him “Steve has his own style. He plays from the bottom to the top of the horn whilst maintaining the integrity of the chords. I can’t think of another trumpet player that can do what he does.”
Legendary Jazz critic Ira Gitler had this to say ‘My question is where has Fishwick been hiding? Hip middle register melodious bebop, but when Steve lights his wick he becomes a flying fish, soaring above the waves, totally in control!’

Doors open 7pm, music starts at 8pm.
Fusion? Prog? Third Stream? ...
“PERFECT STRANGER is an extraordinary 10 piece band led by CHRIS SANSOM, who conceived the band and the music it plays fifty years ago when he left university with a straight music education, but a taste for the exciting stuff going on in creative rock and jazz. Unfortunately the band he formed to play his own compositions did not get off the ground, despite attracting some key players from the progressive jazz scene of the time. Now the music is getting a public airing in the hands of a new PERFECT STRANGER band: out of the time warp emerges an exciting blend of rock, jazz and twentieth century straight music. Don’t miss this unique and powerful band.” – Trevor Taylor, Jazz 825
… from a reworking of Beethoven, through complex changes of meter and a slow jazz waltz to a ‘perverted Turkish dance’ – with a bit of Mingus and Zappa along the way …
PERFECT STRANGER, a stellar 10-piece band, will play music (mostly) written by Chris Sansom in 1974 (mostly) for his original band which included, among others, Chris Biscoe, Dick Pearce, Paul Nieman and the late, legendary Pete Jacobsen.
Now, Chris is joined by Adam Bishop and Mick Foster (saxes/flutes/bass clarinet), George Jefford (trumpet/flugelhorn), Tom Green (trombone), Alcyona Mick (keyboards), Rob Millett (percussion), Eddy White (guitars), Paul Michael (bass) and Jonas Golland (drums).
Come and experience PERFECT STRANGER’s return for a third appearance at Karamel, in advance of the release of their debut album, ‘Unfinished Business’, currently in production.
Chris Sansom studied music at King’s College London in the early 1970s and has had a number of works performed over the years, some broadcast on BBC Radio 3. Performers of his music have included the Arditti String Quartet, the Grimethorpe Colliery Band and the two Swedish giants of the classical brass world, Håkan Hardenberger and Christian Lindberg. In 1989, Hardenberger and Lindberg performed Chris’s major work ‘Invisible Cities’ for trumpet, trombone and orchestra with the BBC Philharmonic, also on Radio 3. (‘… landscapes in which the ear can wander …’ – Paul Griffiths, The Times; ‘… rarely short of ear-catching ideas … new realm of beauty …’ – David Fanning, The Independent).
Here’s a flavour of what Perfect Stranger gets up to. (Note: rehearsal quality audio!), beginning with a very rough recording of the 1974 band playing our signature piece, ‘Life and Times (of a Perfect Stranger), part 1.

Doors open 7pm, music starts at 8pm.
Band Line-up: Simon Picard – tenor saxophone, Pete Whitaker – piano, Dave Green – bass, Matt Holme – drums
Simon Picard first gained acclaim in the early 1980’s with the award-winning Stinky Winkles, but it was as the “P” in the superb trio, R.P.M. (with Paul Rogers and Tony Marsh) that he made an older generation of musicians take notice. Tony Marsh was already a familiar face, but the two younger men were a revelation. An expanded line-up – 7 R.P.M. – featured regularly at the Bracknell Jazz Festival, where Simon also appeared with Trevor Watts Moire Music, and John Stevens’ Folkus. Other ventures included membership of Barry Guy’s London Jazz Composers’ Orchestra, and numerous projects with Elton Dean and Keith Tippett, as well as leading his own groups.

SHEPHERD’S WARNING explores identity, class, broken families, and how – when life as we know it comes to an end – we’re forced to choose what really matters. Cassie, Bethany and David are estranged siblings who were separated by the foster care system in Scotland. But, after the sudden passing of their mother, they’re thrown back into each other’s juxtaposing worlds. Whilst they are making up for lost time, the climate clock is ticking faster than ever. Can the siblings reconcile before it’s too late?
Shepherd’s Warning by Kari Hall is Slàinte! Theatres debut production. Sláinte! Theatre is a London-based emerging theatre company which aims to tell authentic stories from Irish and Scottish Voices. We want to create a network for Irish and Scottish creatives in London, and to nurture a community of Celtic artists.
