In April, our resident live jazz band led by Jessica Lauren (Freestyle Records) and Jake Telford (OK_MA) will be playing four of the dates, bringing their own unique brand of dance floor friendly soul jazz to the floor. With a special Easter event lined up for April 8th you can also expect a few of our famous friends to drop in too (edit: Ms Heidi Vogel is now confirmed!).
On Sunday April 22nd, we welcome the prodiguous talent Al Scott to our main stage. Heavily influenced by the master Bill Evans and fresh from releasing his debut LP ‘Introducing The Al Scott Trio’ late last year, the young musician brings his trio to play a rare set of piano-driven jazz.
This month on the DJ front, we have two special guest DJs ably assisting our resident tag team of Nik Weston (Mukatsuku Records), Rob Coley (Soul-Identity), Sid Ford and Jarred Rice.
After the snow scuppered Analog Jones’ guest set earlier this year, we hope the weather holds out for him this time around as he brings with him a bag of assorted Latin jazz bits and pieces on Sunday 15th April.
At the end of the month on Sunday 29th April, another Boglewaltz regular Breakplus (Thieves of Time) joins us for a break heavy deep jazz set. This man knows his records and coupled with our man Jarred’s taste for the rare and obscure, this session is a must for the avid jazz collector and hip hop lover.
