LIVESTREAM – MANGORATA feat Miles Pillinger & Olivia Cuttill
A perfect way to celebrate International Jazz Day 2026. After seeing MANGORATA play a fantastic set at We Out Here Festival in 2024, two of the SoundCellar team were instantly motivated to bring the band here to Poole. It’s taken well over a year to make it happen, but we are excited that we are at last presenting this great young band.

Six Leeds based musicians come together to form Mangorata, with a sound characterised by wild and inventive improvisation in a jungle of Afro-Cuban, Brazilian, Swing and Funk groove. With a wide array of textures, Mangorata are unafraid to lead their musical stories in fully fledged bustling rhythm, or stripped back intimacy.
Drummer Miles Pillinger is fast becoming one of the ‘go-to’ drummers on the London circuit and has recently been awarded the prestigious Peter Whittingham Jazz Award. Trumpeter Olivia Cuttill’s star is exponentially rising too, as indicated by her success as the recipient of the special Martin Hummel Award at the 2025 Parliamentary Jazz Awards last October.
Their shows have already taken them many times around the Leeds circuit and in multiple other parts of the UK. The band’s inspiration draws upon the works of musical legends such as Herbie Hancock (co-curator of International Jazz Day 2026), Chick Corea, Wayne Shorter, Hermeto Pascoal and many more.
Mangorata’s own latest work, a self titled EP described as “First class” by Jazz FM’s John Osbourne, is only the beginning of a new wave of Jazz that the band are excited to continue to spread.
