SUMMARY:UNIVERSAL CONNECTION feat. Martin Speake\, Hans Koller\, Anders Christensen\, Anders Mogensen

SUMMARY:THE MARCO MARCONI TRIO feat. Max Ionata + pre gig workshop
DESCRIPTION:SoundCellar welcomes the return of acclaimed Italian pianist MARCO MARCONI with his trio plus special guest (for an Arts Council funded UK tour): multi-Award winning Italian saxophonist MAX IONATA. The group also features TOM FARMER on bass and Emiliano Caroselli on drums. \nTicket holders are also welcome to attend a 30 min workshop (7.15-7.45pm) before the concert where Marco and Max will give an insight into their music and playing style. \nTicket link below \nA native Italian from Umbria\, Marco Marconi initially studied classical piano before moving on to study Jazz at the Music Conservatory of Perugia. After establishing himself as one of Italy’s leading jazz pianists\, his subsequent highly successful appearances at the Cheltenham Jazz Festival in 2009 and the Lancaster Music Festival in 2011 prompted his decision to move to the UK permanently in 2012. Working primarily with his own trio\, Marco was signed to the iconic UK label 33Jazz\, which released his first two albums “Nordik” (2016) and its follow up “Trialogue” (2018)\, both to critical acclaim. For his last record ‘New Roads’ Marco invited one of Italy’s best-known saxophonists the multi-Award winning Max Ionata (Robin Eubanks\, Steve Grossman\, Mike Stern\, Bob Mintzer\, Mario Biondi…) to collaborate with him. In Marco’s words this resulted in “a big injection of swing” into both the album’s original compositions as well as the standards and popular songs rearranged in a jazz style which also feature on the CD. Successfully combining Marco’s classical background\, jazz sensibilities and truly impressive technique\, this may be his most exciting album yet. \nTom Farmer is a busy member of the British music scene\, primarily with award winning quartet\, Empirical\, but also in many other projects.  Graduating from Guildhall\, Tom joined Empirical in 2007\, touring intensively and winning many awards including Best Ensemble Parliamentary Jazz Awards 2016.  Away from Empirical\, Tom has led masterclasses and seminars at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance\, the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama\, Leeds College of Music\, RWCD and is an occasional teacher for the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. He has performed with many of today’s British jazz musicians and is currently touring Anoushka Shankar\, Joe Stilgoe\, Ivo Neame and many others. \nAfter collaborating with many musicians on the Italian jazz scene and after years of experience as a sideman\, Emiliano Caroselli moved to London in 2012. He played with several bands in various styles of music. His sensitive passionate approach to the drums soon made him an important figure on the London jazz scene. His receptiveness to all styles of music\, combined with a deep knowledge of the roots of jazz\, the richness of his dynamics and his attention to interplay with other musicians make him one of the most in-demand drummers and percussionists in London today. \nThis gig will be held at The Avocet (formerly The Cow)\, next to Parkstone Railway Station. Please note the 20:00 (8 pm) start time for the foreseeable future \nEntry is £13 + booking fee in advance through the below link\, or £15 cash on the door \nShare this event

SUMMARY:ALICE ZAWADZKI with Rob Luft & Misha Mullov-Abbado
DESCRIPTION:We have an extra special evening lined up\, even by our extremely high standards\, when we welcome the magnificent ALICE ZAWADZKI\, accompanied by the fantastic Rob Luft and Misha Mullov-Abbado. Originally scheduled for May 2020\, this was an event we were particularly disappointed about losing\, when it fell foul of lockdown. It’s taken nearly two years (although Alice and Rob did give us one of our first and finest ‘In Our Own Space’ livestream performances in June 2020)\, so we’re delighted to host them at last. \nThis gig is now SOLD OUT! Tickets for the livestream are still available here \nNot only is Alice an extremely talented violinist and pianist with a famously exquisite voice\, but as John in the SoundCellar team will tell anyone within earshot\, she is also an outstanding songwriter\, as those of you lucky enough to attend this evening’s event (whether for real or via the livestream) will experience first hand. \nLoosely connected to the jazz world but realistically inhabiting her own realm\, Alice is a distinctive presence within the European creative music scene and beyond. Her rich musical background and “whimsical hyper-creativity” (MOJO Magazine) draw upon her early exposure to New Orleans jazz and gospel\, an extensive classical training as a violinist\, and a continuous exploration of improvisation\, poetry\, and folk music from diverse traditions\, “all propelled in a voice of velvet suppleness and gutsy emotional power” (The Arts Desk). \nHer 2019 release\, ‘Within You Is A World Of Spring’ (Whirlwind Recordings) was met internationally with warm critical praise\, being made Contemporary Album of the Month by The Guardian newspaper\, and described by Jazzwise Magazine as “Tender in spirit and defiantly anti-genre… A cornucopia of delights.” ★★★★ \nHer debut album ‘China Lane’ was made Album of the Week by BBC Radio 3\, she was described by The Guardian as “a genuine original” and she was nominated for vocalist of the year by both Jazz FM and the Parliamentary Jazz Awards.  As an interpreter of new and unusual works\, she has premiered several large-scale works both in the UK and internationally. She contributes regularly to projects for organisations like Play For Progress (serving unaccompanied minor refugees in the UK)\, The Spitz Charitable Trust\, and Live Music Now. She trained in Jazz voice and composition at the Royal Academy of Music and in violin at the Royal Northern College of Music\, with scholarships from the Musicians Benevolent Fund and the Hilda Collens Prize. \n“…the missing link between Ghost in the Machine-era Police and Hissing of Summer Lawns-era Joni Mitchell…lush and dynamically shifting…fascinating and stunningly original” New York Music Daily (USA) \n“A technically perfect voice… the enormous artistic personality of Alice Zawadzki comes out…” Ondarock (Italy) \n“Zawadzki’s larynx is a supple\, expressive\, rousing delight… something of a phenomenon” MOJO Magazine \n“beguiling and unorthodox” The Independent (UK) \nAdding ‘icing to the cake’\, Alice’s band members for this evening are two of the UK’s most acclaimed and in-demand musicians – Rob Luft (guitar) and Misha Mullov-Abbado (acoustic bass). Superstars in their own right\, appearing on many albums by top UK and international artists (including Alice’s ‘Within You Is A World Of Spring’)\, each of them also have highly acclaimed discographies under their own names. Both released their most recent albums right in the middle of 2020’s lockdown (Rob’s ‘Life Is The Dancer’ and Misha’s ‘Dream Circus’) and these are definitely worth seeking out\, along with Alice’s two aforementioned albums\, to add to your collection of up to date high quality music. \nPhoto by Tim Dunk \nThis gig will be held at The Avocet (formerly The Cow)\, next to Parkstone Railway Station. Please note the 20:00 (8 pm) start time for the foreseeable future \nEntry is £13 + booking fee in advance.

SUMMARY:HARRY CHRISTELIS & PEDRO VELASCO
DESCRIPTION:The forward thinking guitar duo of Harry Christelis & Pedro Velasco make their SoundCellar debut as part of a national tour to promote their debut release ‘Scribbling’ (Ubuntu Music). \nPlease note this gig will be a ‘house concert’ and is now SOLD OUT.\n \nHarry Christelis and Pedro Velasco form a guitar duo that explores and challenges the boundaries of improvised music. Theirs is a melting pot of jazz and folk harmony\, immersive sonic textures\, and calm\, introspective moments that are interjected with wild intensity. In a world that rushes to excite and distract\, their music focuses on taking time to develop and create space. This often-understated approach puts just as much emphasis on the notes that are not played\, as the ones that are. \nThe partnership was born in 2016\, when the two London-based guitarists came together for a concert and discovered a like-minded approach to music. Their musical connection has developed with each meeting since. They share a respect of jazz traditions but also a love of expanding these to incorporate elements from folk and electronic music\, as well as ambient styles and free improvisation. Together\, they’ve built a unique\, intimate setup and found a way of conversing that’s equally unassuming and thought-provoking. \nThey recorded their first album\, ‘Scribbling’\, in December 2020. The result is a truly distinct album that challenges the ideas of what a guitar duo should sound like. Some tracks might transport you to a sound world that feels like it belongs in outer space\, others as if you’re immersed in the depths of the ocean. It is\, however\, a beautifully balanced piece of work that keeps its feet firmly rooted in traditions of the instruments and the music they are playing. \n£15 on the door (cash or card). \nShare this event

A revolutionary guitar player and composer\, his performances represent playing at its most sublime. His most recent recording\, Valentine released on Blue Note\, is hailed as ‘a masterpiece’ by Downbeat. \nThrough unprecedented access\, and interviews with his close family\, friends and collaborators\, including some very famous names\, Philip Watson tells the story through his book of the guitarist who changed the sound of American music.

SUMMARY:THE ANDRE CANNIERE SEXTET
DESCRIPTION:American trumpeter Andre Canniere and his acclaimed 6 piece band featuring Brigitte Beraha (voice)\, Tori Freestone (saxophone)\, Rick Simpson (piano)\, Tom Farmer (bass) and Andrew Bain (drums) returns to SoundCellar as part of a tour playing material from his striking and emotionally driven album\, Ghost Days. \nPLEASE NOTE: This gig will take place at The Grasshopper\, 139 – 141 Bournemouth Rd\, Poole BH14 9HT \nTicket link below \nCurrently based in London\, Andre was born in Pennsylvania and eventually moved to New York where he worked with artists such as Maria Schneider\, Becca Stevens\, Donny McCaslin\, Kate McGarry\, Ingrid Jensen and Darcy James Argue.

SUMMARY:ATLANTICUS
DESCRIPTION:ATLANTICUS is a unique British–American musical partnership bringing together two powerfully distinct musical personalities\, US saxophonist Peter Fraize and UK organist Terry Seabrook\, to explore their common interest in the rich transatlantic heritage of jazz. \nPLEASE NOTE: This gig will take place at The Grasshopper\, 139 – 141 Bournemouth Rd\, Poole BH14 9HT \nTicket link below \nATLANTICUS draws from the storied tradition of the great Hammond organ groups\, with a post–modern sound echoing the ground–breaking organ quartet of Larry Young’s Unity album. The music is mostly original\, spanning a stylistic spectrum from the hard bop blowout of the album’s title track ‘Blue Haven’\, the modal explorations of ‘That’s What’\, the odd–metered boogaloo of ‘Swank’\, and the Afro–Cuban reimagining of the Bobby Timmons classic ‘Moanin’’.Peter and Terry were introduced through a mutual friend and first teamed up for a short UK tour in 2016\, recruiting Brighton heavyweights trumpeter Jack Kendon and drummer Milo Fell to round out the lineup. From the very first gig\, their immediate and natural musical rapport sealed the transatlantic bonds for what has now become ATLANTICUS. The band delivered exciting high–energy performances to delighted crowds\, culminating in a head–turning performance at the Love Supreme festival. Building on that success\, the quartet convened once again in the summer of 2018 for a 25–date\, month–long tour of the southern UK\, playing clubs and festivals from London to Wales.By the end of their 2018 tour\, the band knew it was imperative to go in the studio and document their remarkable chemistry. The result is Blue Haven\, featuring nine original compositions by Peter and Terry along with invigorating arrangements of two classic standards.

SUMMARY:LIVESTREAM - ATLANTICUS
DESCRIPTION:ATLANTICUS is a unique British–American musical partnership bringing together two powerfully distinct musical personalities\, US saxophonist Peter Fraize and UK organist Terry Seabrook\, to explore their common interest in the rich transatlantic heritage of jazz. \nClick here for tickets to attend the physical gig\nLivestream Ticket link below \nATLANTICUS draws from the storied tradition of the great Hammond organ groups\, with a post–modern sound echoing the ground–breaking organ quartet of Larry Young’s Unity album. The music is mostly original\, spanning a stylistic spectrum from the hard bop blowout of the album’s title track ‘Blue Haven’\, the modal explorations of ‘That’s What’\, the odd–metered boogaloo of ‘Swank’\, and the Afro–Cuban reimagining of the Bobby Timmons classic ‘Moanin’’.Peter and Terry were introduced through a mutual friend and first teamed up for a short UK tour in 2016\, recruiting Brighton heavyweights trumpeter Jack Kendon and drummer Milo Fell to round out the lineup. From the very first gig\, their immediate and natural musical rapport sealed the transatlantic bonds for what has now become ATLANTICUS. The band delivered exciting high–energy performances to delighted crowds\, culminating in a head–turning performance at the Love Supreme festival. Building on that success\, the quartet convened once again in the summer of 2018 for a 25–date\, month–long tour of the southern UK\, playing clubs and festivals from London to Wales.By the end of their 2018 tour\, the band knew it was imperative to go in the studio and document their remarkable chemistry. The result is Blue Haven\, featuring nine original compositions by Peter and Terry along with invigorating arrangements of two classic standards. The entire album was recorded in a single day\, capturing all the vibe\, excitement and groove of the group’s live performances that UK fans have known about since 2016. The band is looking forward to touring in support of the release of this dynamic new recording in the summer of 2022. \nTerry Seabrook – organ\nPeter Fraize – tenor saxophone\nJack Kendon – trumpet\nMilo Fell – drums \nThe livestream will be broadcast on YouTube\, via a page available when you purchase a ticket through the link below. \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:MIKE OUTRAM-ROB LUFT QUARTET
DESCRIPTION:Two of SoundCellar’s absolute favourites together in one gig – now that’s not to be missed! We present Master guitarists (not an exaggeration) Mike Outram and Rob Luft in a very rare collaboration. Both having played for us earlier this year (Mike with his own trio and Rob with Alice Zawadzki)\, we are certain that SoundCellar regulars will instantly wish to attend and will recommend this gig to anyone else who enquires! \nTicket link below \nThis gig will take place at The Grasshopper\, 139 – 141 Bournemouth Rd\, Poole BH14 9HT \nAs if that’s not exciting enough\, they also have a killer rhythm section of further SoundCellar ‘legends’ – bassist Joe Downard (Alex Hitchcock\, NYJO) and drummer Corrie Dick (Laura Jurd’s Dinosaur\, Rob Luft). Indeed they both have great solo albums themselves – Corrie’s ‘Impossible Things’ in particular\, is one of SoundCellar John’s absolute favourites and excitingly there’s a new one from him on the horizon too! \nMike Outram has played many times at SoundCellar since his debut for us in 2011\, featuring in different ensembles with amazing artists such as Roz Harding\, Karen Street\, Theo Travis\, Pete Callard\, Martin Speake\, Tony Woods\, and Paul & Jeremy Stacey. No matter who he has been playing with\, his mastery of the guitar has always been a major talking point after the gig\, by our discerning audiences! \nHe has also worked and recorded with such luminaries as Steven Wilson\, Carleen Anderson\, Tim Garland\, Asaf Sirkis\, Gareth Lockrane\, Robert Fripp\, Hamish Stuart\, Laurence Cottle\, Julian Siegel\, Nikki Iles\, Laura Rossi & many others. He is Guitar Professor at The Royal Academy of Music\, Trinity Laban & The Guildhall\, London. \n‘world-class’\nJohn Fordham\, The Guardian \n‘The star of the show for my money is guitarist Mike Outram\, whose blazing work sounds to me like a cross between Allan Holdsworth and Frank Zappa’\nBrad Walseth\, Jazz Chicago\n\nRob Luft is an award-winning 28-year-old jazz guitarist from London\, whose virtuosity has been compared to that of six-string legends John McLaughlin\, Al Di Meola & Paco De Lucia. He was the recipient of the 2016 Kenny Wheeler Prize from the Royal Academy of Music\, and he also received the 2nd Prize in the 2016 Montreux Jazz Guitar Competition at Montreux Jazz Festival. \nHis debut album\, “Riser”\, was released on Edition Records in 2017 to widespread acclaim from the European jazz media. John Fordham wrote in The Guardian that it’s a “very sophisticated debut\, but given Luft’s old-soul achievements since his early teens\, we should have heard it coming”. Subsequently\, on the back of the success of his first album\, Rob was nominated for a string of awards – Breakthrough Act in the 2018 Jazz FM Awards\, Instrumentalist of the Year in the 2020 Parliamentary Jazz Awards and Instrumentalist of the Year in the 2019 Jazz FM Awards. In May 2019\, Rob was selected as a BBC New Generation Jazz Artist. \nRob’s eagerly-awaited second album\, “Life is the Dancer”\, was released in April 2020 on Edition Records to critical acclaim. Despite the intermittent global lockdowns of 2020\, Rob made his debut appearance on the legendary German jazz label ECM Records with the album “Lost Ships\, a collaborative effort with Swiss-Albanian singer Elina Duni\, and this was nominated in the ‘International Album of the Year’ category in the 2021 German Jazz Prize. \nHaving also released a collaborative album with Dave O’Higgins and appeared as sideman on many other wonderful albums\, Rob has recently recorded his third solo album\, which will be released in 2023 on Edition Records. \n“Guitar virtuoso makes enticingly vivacious debut”\nThe Guardian\n \n“So young and so talented!”\nJamie Cullum\, BBC R2\n \nLine-up\nMike Outram – Guitar\nRob Luft – Guitar\nJoe Downard – Bass\nCorrie Dick – Drums \nEntry is £13 + booking fee in advance through the below link\, or £15 on the door (cash or card). \nShare this event

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
