We kick off our May programme with a bumper bank holiday Sunday night session at Floripa on May 6th with Swedish songstress Cecilia Stalin and her band performing material from her recently released John Coltrane tribute project “Step Like A Giant”. Expect electro jazz and nu soul versions of some of the jazz master’s music with a few surprises along the way.
Also joining us this month on a live tip will be leading flautist, saxophonist and composer Finn Peters for a special trio date alongside his British jazz stalwarts Oren Marshall (tuba) and Tom Skinner (drums) on May 20th. Since his 2010 critically acclaimed release “Music of the Mind”, Finn has been working on a number of projects and gigging regularly. Take this opportunity to see what he’s been up in one of Shoreditch’s most stylish venues.
On May 13th and 27th, the resident Jazz Meet house band (led by Jake Telford on sax and Jessica Lauren on keys) will be in session, supplying their party starting brand of live soul jazz and Afro Latin grooves, and accompanied by some of the city’s finest session musicians.
Fickle Formula legend Weegee will be joining Sid Ford (Fuego) behind the decks on May 13th, while the rest of the residents – Nik Weston (Mukatsuku), Rob Coley (Soul-Identity) and Jarred Rice – will be holding court on all other dates.
