'Jazz on 3 will be recording a special solo set from BBC Jazz Awards nominee vibes player Corey Mwamba at 7.45pm downstairs at The Ochre Works (underneath the Vortex).
Come down early and grab a bite to eat, and enjoy music from one of UK's brightest young stars.
Vinicius Cantuaria
Monday 21, Tuesday 22 & Wednesday 23 July
The
legendary Brazilian multi-instrumentalist is now confirmed to play three
nights at the Vortex in July. A unique chance to see one of the world's
greatest singer-songwriters in the intimate setting of the Vortex Jazz Club.
The ex-pat Brazilian’s gentle, elegiac, subtly subversive music places him in a lineage that includes Tom Jobim and Caetano Veloso, but while his music has the subtle, sad beauty of the greatest bossa nova, it has a darker hue as befits an artist who has worked with Arto Lindsay and David Byrne.
For
full details and to book online see the July programme page.

Details to be confirmed.
Mopomoso presents Fête QUAQUA
Sunday 17, Monday 18 & Tuesday 19 August
Guitarist
John Russell has assembled a remarkable group of musicians to take part
in this annual three day celebration of all things improvised.
Twelve highly creative and individual musicians come together to play in changing permutations, from the whole ensemble to duos. With backgrounds in jazz, folk, rock, electronica, computer music, kinetic art and contemporary music, all the musicians share a common interest in the delights of free improvisation and are all highly regarded in their respective fields.
Like all Russell’s Quaqua groups, this group will only be playing in this form at this event, so it really is a case of, ‘You will never have heard anything like this before!’ Definitely not to be missed!
Each evening will start and finish with a short piece by the full ensemble and all the musicians will be playing in at least one other group.
Musicians taking part are:
Bill Hsu - interactive computer
Chris Burn - trumpet
Dylan Bates - violin
Hannah Marshall - cello
Jean Borde - bass
John Butcher - saxophone
John Russell - guitar
Lol Coxhill - saxophone
Max Eastley - self-made instruments
Paul G. Smyth - piano
Roger Turner - percussion
Ute Wassermann - voice.
