SUMMARY:MOONFISH feat. special guest ALEX HITCHCOCK
DESCRIPTION:One of SoundCellar’s favourite gigs in 2024 involved Maria Chiara Argirò on keys. We are therefore very much looking forward to welcoming her back to The Grasshopper\, this time in the international Moonfish project. \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 \nMOONFISH\, the collaborative project of Maria Chiara Argirò and Riccardo Chiaberta\, merges electronic beats and alternative rock with jazz improvisation.

They will present music from their recent EP Leaving\, along with new songs\, exploring intimate dialogues that may build to intense explosions! \nMaria Chiara Argirò: Keyboards\, synths\, electronics\nRiccardo Chiaberta: Drums\, bass synth\, electronics\nAlex Hitchcock: Saxes \nEntry is £17.50 (no booking fee) in advance through the below link\, or £20 on the door (cash or card). \nShare this event

SUMMARY:HARRY CHRISTELIS' 'PRESERVING FICTIONS'
DESCRIPTION:Guitarist and composer Harry Christelis and his quartet perform music from Preserving Fictions\, a captivating blend of jazz\, folk\, and ambient soundscapes. Expect inventive interplay\, haunting beauty\, and deep emotional resonance from this remarkable group of musicians. \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 \nGuitarist and composer Harry Christelis presents his new album\, Preserving Fictions — an exploration of how music and art can serve as a means to preserve and document the seeming truths we see\, hear\, feel\, and experience every day. This record\, a continuation and development of his 2025 EP Half Truths (recorded during the same session)\, sees Christelis delve deeper into a sound world that has become synonymous with his name\, fusing elements of jazz and folk traditions with ambient drones and delicate electronic textures to create a truly immersive listening experience. \nFeaturing his long-standing quartet of Christos Stylianides (trumpet/effects)\, Andrea Di Biase (double bass/synth)\, and Dave Storey (drums)\, the highly acclaimed musicians constantly break free from their traditional roles within the jazz idiom. Instead\, they embrace a deeply communal approach to improvisation\, colouring\, shaping\, and delineating every moment of each piece together. Across the adventurous 58-minute album\, the listener is taken on a journey that moves through dreamy psychedelic trips\, expansive soundscapes\, delicate moments of intimacy\, and furious bursts of energy — all seamlessly bound by a tone that holds sombre and hopeful feelings in harmonious equilibrium. \n“Compelling ambient music pitched somewhere between In A Silent Way-era Miles Davis and late-era Talk Talk” – The Guardian \n“Music with a serene beauty” – Kevin Le Gendre\, BBC Radio 3 \n“Breathy and textural tones that perfectly create a sense of space and memory” – Soweto Kinch\, BBC Radio 3 \nHarry Christelis: guitar\nGeorge Crowley: tenor saxophone/effects\nAndrea Di Biase: double bass/synth\nDave Storey: drums \nEntry is £17.50 (no booking fee) in advance through the below link\, or £20 on the door (cash or card). \nShare this event

DESCRIPTION:Guitarist and composer Harry Christelis and his quartet perform music from Preserving Fictions\, a captivating blend of jazz\, folk\, and ambient soundscapes. Expect inventive interplay\, haunting beauty\, and deep emotional resonance from this remarkable group of musicians.\n \nClick here for tickets to attend the physical gig.\nLivestream Ticket link below \nGuitarist and composer Harry Christelis presents his new album\, Preserving Fictions — an exploration of how music and art can serve as a means to preserve and document the seeming truths we see\, hear\, feel\, and experience every day. This record\, a continuation and development of his 2025 EP Half Truths (recorded during the same session)\, sees Christelis delve deeper into a sound world that has become synonymous with his name\, fusing elements of jazz and folk traditions with ambient drones and delicate electronic textures to create a truly immersive listening experience. \nFeaturing his long-standing quartet of Christos Stylianides (trumpet/effects)\, Andrea Di Biase (double bass/synth)\, and Dave Storey (drums)\, the highly acclaimed musicians constantly break free from their traditional roles within the jazz idiom. Instead\, they embrace a deeply communal approach to improvisation\, colouring\, shaping\, and delineating every moment of each piece together. Across the adventurous 58-minute album\, the listener is taken on a journey that moves through dreamy psychedelic trips\, expansive soundscapes\, delicate moments of intimacy\, and furious bursts of energy — all seamlessly bound by a tone that holds sombre and hopeful feelings in harmonious equilibrium. \n“Compelling ambient music pitched somewhere between In A Silent Way-era Miles Davis and late-era Talk Talk” – The Guardian \n“Music with a serene beauty” – Kevin Le Gendre\, BBC Radio 3 \n“Breathy and textural tones that perfectly create a sense of space and memory” – Soweto Kinch\, BBC Radio 3 \nHarry Christelis: guitar\nGeorge Crowley: tenor saxophone/effects\nAndrea Di Biase: double bass/synth\nDave Storey: 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

The regular drummer for American icon Sheryl Crow for over seven years\, touring and recording worldwide. He later joined Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds\, performing globally during their early heyday. In 2016\, Stacey became one of the featured drummers for legendary prog-rock band King Crimson\, adding drums\, keyboards and synths to their line-up and showcasing his adaptability and command across complex\, multi-layered music.

Born in Derby and raised in Lincoln\, he began piano at age six\, later studying at Chetham’s School of Music and at the Royal Academy of Music. He first made waves with his trio Curios. Their albums attracted widespread acclaim\, described by critics as “extraordinary”\, “spellbinding” and “a shining light for British jazz.” Cawley also tours internationally as a sought-after sideman and has worked with high-profile artists including Peter Gabriel\, recording two albums and a live DVD with him. In addition to performance\, Cawley is a respected educator\, he regularly leads the house band at Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club and serves as a professor of jazz piano at the Royal Academy of Music. With a style that effortlessly blends jazz tradition\, classical roots\, and subtle modern textures\, Tom Cawley remains one of Britain’s most expressive and creative jazz pianists. \nGraeme Blevins is a saxophonist and woodwind performer renowned for his dynamic and lyrical improvisation. Originally from Australia\, he relocated to London in 2004\, quickly establishing himself as a sought-after collaborator across a wide range of musical styles\, including jazz\, pop and classical music.

He is also an Associate of the Royal Academy of Music. \nAmong the most accomplished bassists in contemporary jazz\, Orlando le Fleming is known for his virtuoso technique\, creative flair\, and unmistakably powerful beat\, qualities that have placed him firmly within the top tier of American improvised music. Originally from the UK\, Orlando first honed his discipline and teamwork on the cricket pitch\, even playing professionally for a short time. His path changed when he earned a place at London’s Royal Academy of Music\, where his lifelong passion for music ultimately took precedence. His move to New York in 2003 proved pivotal. Shortly after arriving\, he joined Jane Monheit’s band\, sharing bass duties with Ron Carter and Christian McBride on her album Taking a Chance on Love. He soon recorded with jazz legend Jimmy Cobb\, and over the following years became a first-call bassist for leaders including Branford Marsalis\, Joey Calderazzo\, Kurt Rosenwinkel\, Billy Cobham\, Seamus Blake\, Jeff “Tain” Watts\, and David Sánchez. \nJeremy Stacey: drums\nTom Cawley: piano\nOrlando le Fleming: bass\nGraeme Blevins: sax \nGeneral admission: £21 \nShare this event

SUMMARY:MANGORATA feat Miles Pillinger & Olivia Cuttill
DESCRIPTION: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. \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 \nSix 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. \nDrummer 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. \nTheir 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. \nMangorata’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. \nMiles Pillinger: Drums\nOlivia Cuttill: Trumpet\nJames Absalom: Tenor Saxophone\nLiam Mason: Piano\nChris Williams: Bass\nJJ Petrie: Percussion \nEntry is £17.50 (no booking fee) in advance through the below link\, or £20 on the door (cash or card). \nShare this event

SUMMARY:JOHN LAW\, ANT LAW: THE LAWS OF (E)MOTION
DESCRIPTION:London-based guitarist and composer Ant Law\, described by Jazzwise as “scarily proficient\,” joins pianist and composer John Law (“one of the UK’s most imaginative jazz pianists” – International Piano Magazine) to present The Laws of (E)Motion. \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 \nPerforming a new suite of pieces by John Law\, exploring interweaving lines\, pulsing rhythms and subtle harmonies\, plus other original music by both of them\, the duo creates chamber music both intricate and simple\, exploring textures\, colour\, and space and with plenty of rhythmic energy! A study of motion/emotion within the world of groove and pulse. And all within the dialectic of composed versus improvised spontaneity.  \nJohn Law\, a prize-winning classical prodigy on piano\, turned away from classical piano studies to pursue jazz and improvised music when he was 23 and has been involved in\, and acclaimed for\, a wide variety of contemporary jazz and classical projects: from solo piano concerts and albums\, through trio and quartet tours and recordings\, right through to large scale works for his semi-classical ensemble Cornucopia. \nHe has played at over fifty festivals worldwide including North Sea Jazz Festival (Rotterdam)\, Delhi International Jazz Festival and London Jazz Festival at the Queen Elizabeth Hall\, and in clubs and concert halls all over the UK\, mainland Europe\, North America and beyond\, working with musicians as diverse as Gwilym Simcock\, Andy Sheppard\, Jason Rebello\, Tim Garland and Evan Parker. He has recorded over forty albums. John’s main projects currently are his acclaimed quartet Congregation\, featuring Mercury Prize nominee James Mainwaring and playing John’s original music\, bringing together acoustic and electronic music\, his all-acoustic quartet Re-Creations\, featuring Parliamentary Jazz Award winner Sam Crockatt\, playing versions of tunes from jazz/pop/classical and Renaissance\, an ambient\, electronic keyboards project with saxophonist Jon Lloyd and visual artist Patrick Dunn\, playing improvised music over samples created out of sacred vocal music from the 15th and 16th centuries. \nAnt Law is a highly regarded British jazz guitarist\, composer and bandleader known for his inventive and forward-thinking approach to contemporary jazz. Described by The Guardian as “a game changer” and “an innovator”\, Law studied physics at Edinburgh University and spent time at Berklee College of Music before settling in London and establishing himself on the international jazz scene. He has released several critically acclaimed albums since his 2013 debut Entanglement\, blending complex harmonies\, rhythmic creativity and expressive improvisation. Law leads his own ensembles\, including his long-running quintet and collaborative projects such as the ongoing Same Moon in the Same World with saxophonist Alex Hitchcock\, and co-leads the genre-bending Trio HLK. Beyond his own work\, he performs with a wide range of leading musicians and appears frequently at jazz festivals and venues across the UK and abroad. His 2025 album Unified Theories features ten original compositions performed by an all-star ensemble including Will Vinson (alto sax)\, Gwilym Simcock (piano)\, Orlando le Fleming (bass)\, Ernesto Simpson (drums) and vocalist Brigitte Beraha. \nJohn Law: piano\nAnt Law: guitar \nEntry is £17.50 (no booking fee) in advance through the below link\, or £20 on the door (cash or card). \nShare this event
