Last Show: Wednesday 27 th February 2019

PizzaExpress Jazz Club (Soho)

Led by London based guitarist and composer Andy Little, this blistering band blends modern funk and jazz in bold and daring arrangements. Andy’s band comprises some of the UK jazz funk scene’s hottest musicians. Their music is crafted to captivate and spiritualise the senses through gutsy grooves and energetic solos. This will be the bands first performance back after spending the last few months buried in the studio; writing, recording and mixing their latest album. They return to the club for the third time, tighter than ever, armed with plenty of new material.

"A delicious slice of contemporary funked-up soul jazz, is also firm favourite around these parts".

The Jazz Meet

With funk at the heart of everything, this band draws influence from jazz, soul, and anything else compelling. Their compositions are interspersed with long improvised passages which allow the band to interact and communicate in the moment, transcending a mere recital and becoming a source of expression for every player. This is balanced with Andy’s arrangements allowing for ideas to be explored intricately and reflectively, resulting in the best of both worlds.

Andy’s band members all have a few things in common: passion, grit and a thirst for making original music. They consist of high-in-demand session players, having performed with the likes of Mighty Mocambos, Sir Joe Quarterman, YolanDa Brown, Monophonics, Speedometer, The Snitch, Funkestra, The Shaolin Afronauts, Clark Tracey Sextet, Laurence Cottle, Jim Mullen, Mornington Locket, Shola Ama, Freddie Gravita, Ross Stanley, to name but a few.
