SUMMARY:DAVE MANINGTON'S RIFF RAFF
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to welcome back Dave Manington‘s Riff Raff to SoundCellar as part of a UK tour. The 6 piece band (featuring Ivo Neame on piano) produce music that is intimate and creative\, with a delicate interplay forged from many years performing together. \nThis gig will take place at The Grasshopper\,\n139 – 141 Bournemouth Rd\, Poole BH14 9HT. \nPlease note: If parking in either of the car parks at The Grasshopper\, you must register your vehicle on one of the dedicated terminals at the bar or in the function room. \nTicket link below \nBassist and composer Dave Manington is one of the mainstays of the London jazz scene\, a founder member of the Loop Collective\, he has played with many of the pre-eminent jazz musicians in the UK and Europe including Julian Arguelles\, Marius Neset and Gwilym Simcock amongst many others. He co-founded the Loop Collective to pool creative resources with other like-minded musicians. His debut quartet album “Headrush” was released on Loop Records in 2008 to critical acclaim. He followed this up with two albums from his band “Riff Raff”\, which were described as “Inventive\, forward-looking jazz that subtly pushes the envelope whilst remaining thoroughly accessible to the listener.” The Jazzmann. He is also a founder member of the much-respected e17 jazz collective\, Tori Freestone’s Trio\, Solstice and Yazz Ahmed’s Quartet. Dave was nominated for an Ivor Novello award for jazz composition in 2022. \nThe group also features a cast of SoundCellar ‘alumni’: vocalist Brigitte Beraha (Kenny Wheeler\, London Jazz Orchestra)\, pianist Ivo Neame (Phronesis\, Marius Neset)\, saxophonist Tom Challenger (Foufolah/Red Snapper)\, guitarist Rob Updegraff (Beth Rowley/Zigaboo Modeliste) and drummer Tim Giles (Iain Ballamy/Art Farmer). The music is sophisticated and full of virtuoso playing\, sometimes freely improvised with an exciting element of risk\, but the song forms\, melodic nature and the empathy and great ensemble playing of the group make it highly accessible. \n“Riff Raff mix the leader’s clever composing with a formidable lineup\, …and the soundscape embraces a 21st century sax-led cool school sound\, raw guitar-fusion\, diffident Wayne Shorteresque lyricism\, and vocals that showcase Beraha’s eloquent lyrics and inventiveness as a wordless improviser.” The Guardian  \n“It also grooves like hell\, with some thick mercurial riffs – full of stops\, starts\, and turns yet rocking in the grip of a savage momentum.” Jazzwise \nDave Manington – bass\nBrigitte Beraha – vocals\nIvo Neame – piano\nTom Challenger – saxophone\nRob Updegraff – guitar\nTim Giles – drums \nEntry is £15 + booking fee in advance through the below link\, or £18 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:THE BRANDON ALLEN GROOVE BAND
DESCRIPTION:Australian/UK saxophonist and composer BRANDON ALLEN makes a welcome return to SoundCellar with his new groove project\, made up of a super-band including SoundCellar favourites Mike Outram and Jamie Murray \nThis gig will take place at The Grasshopper\,\n139 – 141 Bournemouth Rd\, Poole BH14 9HT. \nPlease note: If parking in either of the car parks at The Grasshopper\, you must register your vehicle on one of the dedicated terminals at the bar or in the function room. \nTicket link below \nThe group performs brand new contemporary jazz/groove compositions\, as well as fresh interpretations of unheard material from Brandon’s previous funk outfit (Double Whisky Amnesia)\, rearranged specifically for this lineup. Musical influences include Weather Report\, Herbie Hancock\, Eddie Harris\, John Scofield\, Lalo Schifrin\, Tom Scott\, David Sanborn\, The Brecker Brothers and Vangelis. Expect funky baselines\, otherworldly drum grooves\, soaring synthesisers and intricate and intoxicating sax/guitar melodies. \n‘...A superb blend of diverse improvisation and stellar ensemble interaction…‘\n‘…A saxophone heavyweight\, at the height of his powers…’ Blues and Soul Magazine \nBrandon Allen is one of the UK’s most in demand saxophonists\, working with a wide variety artists across various genres. He leads the Brandon Allen Quartet and Sextet\, The Stanley Turrentine Project as well as the Brandon Allen Groove Band. He is the saxophonist with The Kyle Eastwood Band\, touring internationally and he has performed with Eric Clapton\, Paloma Faith\, Gary Husband\, Adam Nussbaum and numerous others. \nMike Outram hardly needs any introduction here at SoundCellar! As our regulars know\, he is highly regarded as one of the UK’s most accomplished and virtuosic guitarists. Mike has toured and/or recorded with Carleen Anderson\, Tim Garland\, Chick Corea\, Steven Wilson\, Nikki Iles\, Herbie Mann\, The Cinematic Orchestra\, Laura Rossi and others. He is also an extremely respected jazz educator and in general\, a bit of a ‘guitar guru’. \nJim Watson has been the first call pianist/keyboardist/MD for many of the world’s top artists for the last 20 years.\nHe has toured and recorded with the likes of Katie Melua\, Manu Katche\, Incognito\, Gary Moore\, Zero 7\, Marti Pellow\, Sting and many others. Jim is an extremely dynamic performer and he creates many different textural layers and rhythmic intricacies on the keyboards. \nChris Attwell is originally from Bournemouth but has made his name mainly in London as a ‘go-to’ session musician and producer. Having studied for a Masters at the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston\, USA\, we are delighted that his return to the area means we can at last have him play here at SoundCellar. \nJamie Murray is quickly becoming one of the leading drummers on the scene today. He leads ‘Beat Replacement’\, a fiery post fusion band that has featured the likes of Gary Husband\, Dave Preston and Mike Janisch. He has also performed with Zhenya Strigalev\, Tim Lefebvre\, Quentin Collins and many of the UK’s top jazz and crossover artists. Some managed to catch Jamie leading a band here for SoundCellar at The Grasshopper in November last year\, featuring Dave Preston\, Laurence Cottle and US superstar David Binney. \nBrandon Allen – Saxes/compositions\nMike Outram – Guitar\nJim Watson – Keyboards\nChris Attwell – Bass\nJamie Murray – Drums \nEntry is £15 + booking fee in advance through the below link\, or £18 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:MOMENT'S NOTICE
DESCRIPTION:SoundCellar joins forces with the wonderful and unique Jaminaround to present MOMENT’S NOTICE: a one-off event that will take place at The Ancient Technology Centre in the one and only Cranborne Earthouse. Join us for this very special celebration of spontaneous composition. \nThis gig will take place at\nThe Ancient Technology Centre\, Damerham Road\, Cranborne\, Dorset\, BH21 5RP \nTicket link below \nMoment’s Notice showcases international leading lights in the art of spontaneous composition. Usually taking place at AMP studios in Peckham\, South London\, each episode of the series consists of one duo and one trio playing fully-improvised\, 40-minute sets. The evening culminates with a combo quintet set. Line-ups are curated by the event creator\, George Nelson. For this special edition of Moment’s Notice\, George has selected seven (yes! seven) brave musical mavericks who will travel to the depths of Dorset and unite under the hallowed Earthouse roof to light a fire and adventure into the unknown. It promises to be a night to remember! \nDaniel Casimir\, Double Bass  \nJazz FM Instrumentalist of the Year (2021) and a mainstay in Nubya Garcia and Binker Golding’s bands\, Daniel was also a key contributor on celebrated UK jazz albums Camilla George – Isang (2017) and Ashley Henry – Beautiful Vinyl Hunter (2020). He’s performed with a whole bunch of globally acclaimed musicians including Makaya McCraven\, Lonnie Liston Smith\, Julian Joseph and Jason Rebello. \nDaniel’s three bandleader releases\, Escapee (2017)\, These Days (2019) and Boxed In (2022) are all well worth seeking out. \nKadialy Kouyate\, Kora\, Voice\nMesmeric Southern Senegalese kora player and singer from the griot tradition. Kadialy’s presence on the London creative music scene over the last decade is significant\, including collaborations with Adriano Adewale\, Greentea Peng\, Abel Selaocoe and Camilla George. Kadialy’s two duo pieces with Shabaka Hutchings’ on the latter’s Afrikan Culture 2023 release\, are little short of remarkable. \nRosie Turton\, Trombone \nNominated for Jazz FM’s ‘Breakthrough Act of the Year’\, trombonist\, composer and producer Rosie Turton is one of the stand-out improvisers on the UK jazz scene. Her debut ‘Rosie’s 5ive’ (2019)\, with Jazz Re:freshed\, remains one of the label’s high watermarks\, and her EP ‘Expansions and Transformations: Part I & II’ (2021) showcased Rosie’s producer credentials and underlined her ability to interweave electric and acoustic music components. Rosie’s collaborations stretch from Nérija to Nu Civilisation Orchestra\, Camilla George\, Soweto Kinch\, Nwando Ebizie\, and Dan Samsa. \nMax Hallett aka Betamax\, Drums\nBest known for his work with Mercury Prize-nominated The Comet Is Coming\, Max’s reputation as one of the top drummers in the country is well-earned. Among his must-hear releases are Soccer 96 – Dopamine (2021) with fellow Comet Danalogue\, \nChampagne Dub – Drops (2018) with Ruth Goller\, and Betamax v Clive Bell (2021) in which Max teams up with his Shakuhachi-playing father. \nMA.MOYO\, Spoken Word\nMA.MOYO is a Zimbabwean-born writer\, sound artist & educator based in London. She was the 2016/17 Institute of Contemporary Arts Associate Poet\, is the 2019 Serpentine Galleries’ Schools Artist in Residence\, co-founder of literary arts platform BORN::FREE\, and the author of Small Inheritances (2018). MA.MOYO’s delicate touch and powerful delivery are one half of MA.MOYO X Marysia Osu\, a collaborative electronics\, harp and poetry project with Polish harpist/producer\, Marysia Osuchowska exploring nature\, womanhood and lineage. \nGeorge Crowley\, Tenor Saxophone & Clarinet\nTop tier improviser active across a range of genres\, George posesses one of the more distictive sounds amongst UK horn players  – witness his remarkable Can of Worms alongside fellow tenor Tom Challenger. George’s body of work is expansive\, from Melt Yourself Down\, Red Snapper\, Miguel Gorodi Nonet and Rick Simpson’s Klämmer\, to the truly fantastic Brass Mask. \nAfla Sackey\, Djembe & Vocals\nEver since arriving in London with Kakatsitsi Master Drummers of Ghana\, Afla has been a cornerstone on the UK creative music landscape. He is the founder and bandleader of 10-piece Afro-fusion orchestra Afrik Bawantu\, a major cog in the Ibibio Sound Machine wheel\, and his list of collaborators is dizzyingly impressive\, including Seun Kuti\, Sons of Kemet\, Tony Allen\, Yaaba Funk\, Ginger Baker\, Dele Sosimi & the Afrobeat Orchestra and Sun Ra Arkestra. \n \n \nShare this event
