PizzaExpress Jazz Club (Soho)

Featuring both young and seasoned lights of the London jazz scene, this band is the first new venture for Jasper's own music since his formation of the internationally acclaimed trio Phronesis. The music combines a deep sense of groove and an optimistic, driving energy with contrapuntal rhythms and strong lyricism, leading JAZZWISE to describe the band as "masters of evolving energy". This evening features Mercury nominee Laura Jurd on trumpet, Josh Arcoleo on saxophone, Will Barry on piano and special guest Seb Rochford on drums (Polar Bear, Brian Eno, Patti Smith).
