SUMMARY:Postponed - THE BLACKHEART ORCHESTRA
DESCRIPTION:Fitting perfectly with our reputation for presenting the very best in live music\, this October we’re stepping into a different field from our more regular ‘jazz’ genre\, to bring you THE BLACKHEART ORCHESTRA – officially known as the smallest orchestra in the world! \nPlease note: This gig will take place on SUNDAY 16th Oct at The Grasshopper\, 139 – 141 Bournemouth Rd\, Poole BH14 9HT \nTicket link below \nTwo people\, Chrissy Mostyn and Rick Pilkington\, playing 13 instruments\, they perform in the centre of a circle of instruments that has been described as their ‘musical space station’ and ‘instrumental laboratory’. Their music combines ethereal vocals with multi-layered combinations of acoustic instruments such as guitar and mandola\, rock instruments including electric guitar\, bass and percussion\, plus piano\, organ\, electronica\, orchestral and symphonic sounds\, omnichords and their collection of vintage synthesisers. The music is emotional with Metal Planet saying “Their music reaches areas of your head and heart that you never knew existed.” \nThey draw on their backgrounds in rock\, folk\, electronica and classical music to create a truly unique sound\, frequently compared to early Pink Floyd\, Steve Reich\, Philip Glass\, Portishead and Kate Bush. Simultaneously symphonic and psychedelic\, classical and totally contemporary. \nAfter 1000+ gigs from Southampton to Sydney and 6 acclaimed albums\, they’ve performed everywhere from intimate venues to London’s Palladium and Royal Albert Hall\, sharing stages with everyone from Hawkwind to Eric Clapton. \nThe band’s most recent album ‘Mesmeranto’ reached #16 in the UK Indie Chart\, #18 in the UK Rock Chart\, #4 in the USA’s Big Takeover Albums of the Year and was voted twice in the Rock Writers’ Top 20 Albums of the Year. They won Best British Duo. They were voted #4 Best New Band in the UK. Chrissy Mostyn was recently voted #5 Best Female Vocalist in PROG Magazine’s Readers’ Poll\, and their lockdown online concert series The Big Armchair Concerts was voted #10 in Most Important Rock Events of 2020. \nThey will be performing songs from their wonderful back catalogue and from their soon to be released 7th album ‘Hotel Utopia’\, due out this summer. \nThey have been described as “A mesmerising powerhouse” and “An avant-garde musical utopia”. Louder Than War declared their music “A life-enhancing listening event”\, Steve Hackett of Genesis described it as “Powerful and inspiring” and fan Phil Campbell of Motörhead described it as “******* beautiful”. \nIf any further recommendations are necessary\, long time fan John from the SoundCellar team and his more recently ‘converted’ colleague Chris\, believe it’s time word got out in this part of the country about The Blackheart Orchestra\, so we are extremely pleased to present them live at The Grasshopper\, as part of their UK tour to promote the new album. \nThis gig will be held at The Grasshopper\, 139 – 141 Bournemouth Rd\, Poole BH14 9HT.  \nEntry is £13 + booking fee in advance through the below link\, or £15 on the door (cash or card). \nAll advance ticket buyers will receive an exclusive link to a video of the evening’s performance\, available for one month. \nShare this event

SUMMARY:LARRY GOLDINGS (solo)
DESCRIPTION:SoundCellar are excited to present the US keyboard legend LARRY GOLDINGS in a rare solo performance. Larry has been the keyboard player of choice for John Scofield\, James Taylor\, Steve Gadd\, Robben Ford\, Michael Brecker\, Pat Metheny and many other iconic musicians. \nTHIS GIG IS NOW SOLD OUT! Livestream tickets still available. \nThis gig will take place at The Grasshopper\, 139 – 141 Bournemouth Rd\, Poole BH14 9HT \nTicket link below \nFor this European tour Larry’s solo performance will feature him as a pianist\, and/or whatever keyboard instruments each venue can provide\, creating an evening of spontaneous\, creative\, and eclectic music. \nPerhaps best known for the organ trio Goldings/Bernstein/Stewart\, Goldings grew up primarily as a pianist\, but\, “home organs\, analog synths\, melodicas – what have you – were equally significant during my formative years. I was very content in my childhood basement\, as a one-man band\, pretty much from the start. It got me thinking about colour\, texture\, orchestration\, and what it feels like to simultaneously be a bass player. I love having other colours at my disposal\, because it leads me down new roads\, with new emotional and storytelling possibilities.” \nPossibly ruining the evening will be guest artist Hans Groiner\, known for removing the best parts of musical ideas. One critic said of his Thelonious Monk interpretations\, “Kill me now”…….. \nLarry Goldings – keyboards \nEntry is £15 + booking fee in advance through the below link\, or £18 on the door (cash or card). \nShare this event

SUMMARY:MATT RIDLEY'S 'THE ANTIDOTE' QUINTET
DESCRIPTION:It has been a while since we had the excellent bass player and composer Matt Ridley at SoundCellar\, so we are thrilled to now welcome him back!  He comes to us with his quintet The Antidote\, all of whom are former ‘graduates’ of SoundCellar from various ensembles over the years! \nTicket link below \nThis gig will take place at The Grasshopper\, 139 – 141 Bournemouth Rd\, Poole BH14 9HT \nThe Antidote are an exciting young contemporary jazz quintet\, featuring leading lights of the UK scene. Brainchild of bassist Matt Ridley\, the music is firmly rooted within the contemporary jazz discipline\, and also emanates both rock overtones and classical influences\, evolved from decades of genuine passion for music. Matt inhabits his own space within the creative diaspora\, being able to navigate a broad spectrum of inspirations and transform them into a vibrant and exciting sound. \nThe Antidote features the formidable quintet of Alex Hitchcock on saxophone\, Ant Law on guitar\, Tom Hewson on piano\, Marc Michel on drums\, and of course Matt Ridley on bass. With an insistence on detailed\, expressive and thought-through compositions\, Ridley allows time and space for both himself and his band members to express and showcase both their individual and collective talents through dynamic improvisation. The synergy between the group and a mutual understanding of each players’ specific nuances are more than apparent\, while still allowing enough freedom for independent flair to shine though. \nCombining this with the more melodic and compositional aspects of the music makes for a truly engaging experience. Rather than a ‘leader + sidemen’ attitude\, Ridley has cultivated a genuine ‘band’ sound\, as Tom Hewson elucidates: \n“This project totally captured my imagination from the first minute of rehearsal. Matt has managed to create something full of incredible compositional range whilst staying totally grounded with this immediate\, unpretentious sense of energy. As someone that came to jazz through rock and prog\, I love that feeling of unshackling\, that desire not to hold back from. The whole band really bought into the spirit from the start – something you can really hear on the record\, and something that definitely comes across live.” \nThe eponymous debut album\, released in 2021\, is a firm favourite of SoundCellar’s John and received glowing reviews from across the globe from coveted publications such as Downbeat Magazine\, BBC Music Magazine\, Jazzwise\, Ivan Rod (Denmark)\, JazzMania (Belgium) and Presto Music. The album also received a nomination for ‘Best Jazz Album of 2021’ in the 2022 Parliamentary Jazz Awards UK\, as well as making the Jazzwise ‘20 best jazz albums of 2021’ (worldwide) list. Incidentally\, John also highly recommends the digital-only release of three extra pieces “The Antidote Reloaded” on Matt’s Bandcamp page. \n‘One of the strongest releases by homegrown jazz talent in 2021′  **** Editors Choice\, Jazzwise Magazine \n‘His assuredness shines through in this set of taut\, modernist originals\, and his band are engaged and supportive’ **** BBC Music Magazine \n‘It’s both Ridley’s excellent usage of his collaborators and his penchant for melody that is undoubtedly the main appeal of his music’ Recording of the Week\, Presto Music \nLine-up\nMatt Ridley – Bass\nAlex Hitchcock – Sax\nAnt Law – Guitar\nTom Hewson – Keys\nMarc Michel – Drums \nMake sure you catch yet another wonderful young jazz ensemble that we are so pleased to be able to present for your delectation\, here in deepest Dorset! \nEntry is £13 + booking fee in advance through the below link\, or £15 on the door (cash or card). \nShare this event
