We’re half way through the year and we’re still holding down our weekly Sunday residency at Floripa in Old Street. We’d got some rather special line-ups in June and we’d love you to come and join us for one or two!
First off, we have a bank holiday Jubilee special on Sunday June 3rd but whilst everyone else is celebrating all things British, we thought we’d add a slight twist. So come Sunday expect a little Latin Jazz jam hosted by conguero Mark Townson (Caractacus the Conga Conqueror), vocalist Andre Espeut (Los Charly’s Orchestra) and featuring a number of London’s finest Latin jazz players. DJ support comes from Jazz Meet resident Rob Coley and special guest Vince Vella (Havana Cultura) who’ll be digging deep for the Latin jazz rarities.
Also joining us this month on a live tip will be London-based saxophonist, producer and composer Max Grunhard who brings his quartet to the Jazz Meet for an evening of live jazz with a touch of spirituality. Having just produced an album of new material with members of legendary Ghanaian Afro-funk outfit Osibisa (out soon on Soundway Records), Max is now working on his own new album. Come see what he’s been up to in the comfortable confines of our Shoreditch home.
On May 10th and 24th, the resident Jazz Meet house band (led by Jake Telford on sax and Jessica Lauren on keys) will be holding down their bi-weekly house band sessions, so expect plenty of party fiery soul jazz with a touch of Afro Latin percussion with music supplied by the Jazz Meet resident DJs Nik Weston (Mukatsuku), Sid Ford and Jarred Rice.
