PizzaExpress Jazz Club (Soho)

Following the last two sold out visits Ant brings his incredible band back to PizzaExpress for another two night stand. This band has toured extensively over the past few years, this is audible in their tightness and unified sound that only comes through time spent playing together. Every member is at the top of their game, come and hear what all the fuss is about! These dates are the only UK performances in 2017 for the Ant Law Quintet! These top UK players will perform entirely new music for two nights ONLY before they record their 3^rd album.

“An exciting band to hear live”

The Guardian

“Scarily proficient. A voice to heed” Jazzwise

“…guitarist Ant Law, whose fretboard manoeuvres effected an almost uniform raising of audience eyebrows” The Herald

"One of the most original voices of the European Jazz Scene." Musik Reviews

Described as “An Innovator” by The Guardian, guitarist/composer Ant toured the UK with his own band in 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016. 2017 has seen Ant compose brand new music, which the band will perform in its entirety for the first time on this two night stand - the only opportunities to see this band this year! They head into the studio the following week to record their 3rd album. The band is made up of the best players in UK, all of whom are internationally regarded.

Recently Ant has been heard in Tim Garland's band with Jason Rebello & Asaf Sirkis. He featured on albums “Songs To The North Sky”, “Return To The Fire” and “ONE” which was shortlisted for a Grammy and won the Jazzwise Best Album award. Ant can also be heard with Partikel and with Trio HLK, soon to release their debut album featuring Steve Lehman and Dame Evelyn Glennie. He has also worked with Gwilym Simcock, Cory Henry, Thomas Gould and Will Vinson. He is frequently featured in “Total Guitar” and “Guitar Techniques” magazines.
