SUMMARY:LIVESTREAM - FINI BEARMAN
DESCRIPTION:Fini Bearman is a London-based singer\, songwriter\, composer\, and multi-instrumentalist. Her music melds diverse influences from jazz\, folk\, and contemporary songs into an “arresting and uniquely personal” sound. Fini makes her SoundCellar debut with her quartet to promote her latest release Last Night of The World. \nClick here for tickets to attend the physical gig.\nLivestream Ticket link below \nTouring her 5th studio album\, Last Night of the World (Pastiche Records)\, Fini is joined by Conor Chaplin (bass)\, Chris Higginbottom (drums) & Tom Cawley (keyboards) for a special night showcasing this new music. \nAn eclectic collection of jazz\, folk & pop-infused songs\, Last Night of the World draws on Fini’s experiences of motherhood & new beginnings\, of love & loss\, sometimes of a new-found sense of meaning\, sometimes an existential lack thereof! \nThe record was conceived using writing exercises created for her work teaching songwriting\, and these seeds grew over time\, coming to fruition in tandem with her pregnancy; final vocal and instrumental takes often taking place with Bridget asleep in a sling… Inspiration for the songs is drawn from a diverse spectrum of influences: the melodic inventiveness of Madison Cunningham\, the esoteric jazz/folk realms of Becca Stevens\, Chris Thile\, Paul Simon and the electronic\, minimalist songwriting voice of Bjork. \nThis album marks a departure from Fini’s last LP (the solo record La Loba\, 2020) and acts as a return to her true ‘musical north’- a jazz-meets-indie-pop rhythm section playing lyric-based songs\, with nuanced and at times complex harmonic structures and rhythmic idiosyncrasies. Each song is individual and unique in its own right\, with space for improvisation\, interaction and connection. \nFini Bearman: Vocals\nTom Cawley: Keyboards\nConor Chaplin: Bass\nChris Higginbottom: 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 resultant repertoire is a combination of scripted forms and improvised sections\, constantly entwining melodic compositions and experimental sonic escapades. \nThe band’s recent album ”(un)balanced”\, featuring saxophonist Mark Lockheart\, tells the story of seeking balance in today’s reality\, manoeuvring through the overwhelming deluge of information and striving to discover inspiration in everyday routine. We are very excited that SoundCellar favourite Mark will be appearing with Jakub and the band at The Grasshopper. \nThe quintet has performed at major UK jazz venues\, including Vortex Jazz Club\, Pizza Express Live\, 606 Club\, receiving favourable reviews from European press outlets such as UK Jazz News and Jazz Forum. \n“Jakub’s original compositions\, his own playing and that of this fabulous band were also appropriately full of optimism and the promise of good days to come.

From beautifully crafted acoustic piano-centred albums “The Fall Dance” (2016) and “Hidden Seas” (2019)\, to her most recent release “Forest City” (2022)\, with its delicious infusion of electronic sounds\, Maria Chiara’s reputation is rapidly growing as both player and composer. \nJamie Leeming is fast becoming one of the UK’s most in demand ‘go to’ musicians\, appearing on recent top releases by drummer sensation Jas Kayser\, by SoundCellar favourite Rebecca Nash and in his regular guitarist role in Alfa Mist’s outstanding band\, appearing on all four of his albums.  Jamie also released his own excellent album ‘Resynthesis’ on Alfa’s label Sekito Records in 2022. \nThe latest EP by this collaboration\, “Dusk” (Cavalo Records)\, combines Argirò’s and Leeming’s signature blend of lo-fi\, electronica and cinematic jazz with vocals\, presenting a fresh and unique take on the singer/songwriter and spoken word genres. \nHaving worked together for many years\, including releasing the superb download-only album “Flow” in 2020 (Guardian Jazz Album of the month)\, Leeming says “we felt that aramii would be the perfect vehicle for the next chapter of our work together”. \nThe EP centres around the outstanding track “Dusk” (feat. Jono McCleery)\, with layers of moody piano\, shimmering guitars and dark synths creating an intimate sound world\, framing the deeply emotive vocal.  Argirò says “To me aramii is a perfect platform to explore and collaborate through intimate\, cinematic\, soul-influenced songs”. \nJoin us here at SoundCellar for this rare opportunity to catch the duo live\, during a small gap in their busy respective touring and recording schedules! \nMaria Chiara Argirò: Keyboards\, Electronics\nJamie Leeming: Guitar \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 week only. \nShare this event

SUMMARY:LIVESTREAM - SARSEN DRIFT (Rebecca Nash & Nick Walters)
DESCRIPTION:Bringing their new joint project Sarsen Drift to SoundCellar\, we are really excited to have the return of Rebecca Nash on keyboards\, alongside a debut appearance by Nick Walters on trumpet and electronics. \nClick here for tickets to attend the physical gig.\nLivestream Ticket link below \nWe were fortunate to feature Rebecca (Entropi; Sara Colman; Steve Banks; Iain Ballamy) and Nick (Ruby Rushton; Yussef Dayes; Florence & the Machine; Beats & Pieces Big Band) in one of our most memorable livestreams from a Birmingham studio during lockdown\, so we are particularly delighted to now present them ‘in-person’! \nThe pair have worked closely together for a number of years\, regularly appearing on each other’s albums and in different live configurations. They always had a plan to combine musical forces\, having individually notched up several acclaimed releases on major labels including Whirlwind Recordings\, 22a Records\, EFPI Records and D.O.T. over the last twelve years. \nThis new venture\, firmly rooted in their mutual appreciation of electronica and jazz\, began when they were asked by Jazz South in 2020 to produce a Radar Commission. Echoes of influences such as bands like Royksopp\, Aphex Twin\, and Lemon Jelly can be heard in the mix of their sound\, along with live improvisation. \nThe duo chose to explore the concept of ley-lines and their effect on the natural world\, incorporating musical samples taken from Avebury Stone Henge and its surrounding areas. Rebecca and Nick have since steadily continued to compose in the same trajectory\, writing material to incorporate live electronics and samples on stage\, alongside acoustic instruments. Their debut album The Sanctuary will be released on D.O.T. Records in 2024. \nRebecca and Nick will be joined for this Sarsen Drift performance by Nim Sadot on bass guitar and Andrew Lisle on drums. \n‘There’s a beauty to this recording that goes beyond any pigeon-holes of musical styles’\n‘A vibrant and invigorating landscape of sound’\nUK VIBE ★★★★★ 5/5 \n‘At the vanguard of innovative and compelling new music’\nDOWNBEAT MAGAZINE \n‘Amazing new album\, so good – another chapter to add to the phenomenal new British Jazz scene’\nGILLES PETERSON \nRebecca Nash: Keyboards\nNick Walters: Trumpet\, Electronics\nNim Sadot: Bass\nAndrew Lisle: 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
