Ralph Porrett // St. Barbe DOUBLE BILL
Last Show: Thursday 5 th August 2021
PizzaExpress Jazz Club (Soho)
EveryAudio presents a special double bill – featuring two of the brightest young guitar led ensembles. Fresh from his stellar performance on national TV, competing in the BBC Young Jazz Musician of the Year, Ralph Porrett is one of this country’s most exciting young. Blending his love of a wide variety of styles, Porrett is accompanied by his ‘killing’ young trio. London-based trio, St. Barbe, takes the harmonic and rhythmic language of jazz and melds it with a visceral rock energy. Drawing on the compositions of guitarist James Maltby, the group balances extended improvisations with intricate trio arrangements that weave folk-inflected melodies over metrically-shifting grooves.
