SUMMARY:CHRIST-STÉPHANE BOIZI QUINTET
DESCRIPTION:SoundCellar and Tomorrow’s Warriors collaborate once again to present the outstanding Christ-Stéphane Boizi Quintet \nThis gig will take place at The Grasshopper\,\n139 – 141 Bournemouth Rd\, Poole BH14 9HT. \nTrombonist\, composer\, bandleader\, and a Tomorrow’s Warriors Emerging Artist\, Christ-Stéphane Boizi is already making his mark on the London jazz scene\, but his reputation is set to soar with the news that he has signed to Mark Kavuma’s Banger Factory Records label\, with his debut LP As The Spirit Leads scheduled for release later in the year.   \nBoizi’s sound is steeped in the hard bop tradition – carrying influences of the legacy of by Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers\, Horace Silver\, and Jackie McLean. With his compositions he creates his own a sonic exploration of his close personal connection to the music of the Black Christian Church together with that hard bop sound. \nChrist-Stéphane is also member of the acclaimed Nu Civilisation Orchestra\, and was a featured soloist in Mississippi Goddamn\, a celebration of Nina Simone at the Royal Festival Hall\, he has also performed with Brazilian maestro Arthur Verocai at the Barbican. \nSoundCellar regulars will also get to see Christ-Stéphane\, saxophonist Lauren Breen and the return to SoundCellar of Sula’s pianist Kezia Abuoma\, here in Poole a month before\, when they perform in our latest SoundCellar/Lighthouse Studio Jazz collaboration presenting Ankora feat Breen & Boizi on Fri 23rd October (details on our website front and gig pages). \nThis performance is part of Tomorrow’s Warriors’ Warriors Rise initiative\, which sees the acclaimed jazz talent development organisation support three emerging Warriors’ artists\, including Christ-Stéphane\, across a seven-date run of UK gigs\, providing tour planning and marketing mentoring. \nWarriors Rise is supported by Music Venues Trust in association with Liveline and the LIVE Trust\, the Stanley Thomas Johnson Foundation and is a  PRS Foundation Talent Development Network Partner initiative supported by PPL. \nAbout Tomorrow’s Warriors \nIf you know your UK jazz\, then you probably already know Tomorrow’s Warriors. For the last 35 years\, Tomorrow’s Warriors has played a vital role within its community and the wider music industry and has been credited with literally changing the face of UK jazz. \nFree access to Tomorrow’s Warriors artistic programme has proved crucial in nurturing the nascent talent and early careers of so many of the most exciting UK artists currently tearing up the international jazz scene including Mercury Prize 2023 winners Ezra Collective\, Moses Boyd\, Nubya Garcia\, Shabaka Hutchings and Sons of Kemet\, ESKA\, Jason Yarde\, Denys Baptiste\, Robert Mitchell\, Soweto Kinch\, Shirley Tetteh\, Byron Wallen\, Mark Kavuma\, Sultan Stevenson\, CHERISE\, Donovan Haffner…the list goes on. \nTomorrow’s Warriors offers a pioneering\, comprehensive programme of learning and training which champions and supports young Black and female talent and those who come from challenging circumstances that would be a barrier to accessing opportunities to pursue a music career. \n“Tomorrow’s Warriors occupies a unique and vital space in our cultural landscape.

SUMMARY:SMIODAIR feat. Laura Jurd
DESCRIPTION:Smiodair is an international quartet performing original music that draws on a body of work spanning jazz\, improvised music and West African rhythm traditions. The music weaves effortlessly between memorable themes and spontaneous interplay\, with thunderous grooves colliding with dreamlike sonic landscapes. Without a harmony instrument\, the sound is raw\, open and direct\, rich in melody\, rhythm and infectious energy. \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 \nSmiodair is an international quartet with roots that go back over twenty years. Drummer Dave Smith and saxophonist Robin Fincker first played together at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama\, going on to co-found the Loop Collective in London in 2005\, a venue\, festival and record label that became a hub for the UK and European creative music scene. Their long creative partnership continued through Outhouse\, the Ruhabi project and Splice\, accumulating a body of work that spans jazz\, improvised music and West African rhythm traditions. \nBassist Simon Jermyn came into the fold through a collaboration between Dublin’s Bottlenote Collective and the Loop Collective in 2006\, before a decade in New York and a move to Berlin that took his playing to new places. \nThe word Smiodair\, from the Irish for fragments or small broken pieces\, captures something true about three musicians whose paths have diverged and reconnected across London\, Paris\, Dublin\, New York and Berlin. \nFor their UK tour in November 2026\, the trio expands to a quartet with the addition of trumpeter Laura Jurd\, one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary British jazz. The new line-up deepens the band’s sonic palette while staying true to the collective\, compositional spirit at its heart. \nPlaying original music composed by all four members\, the quartet constantly weaves between composition and improvisation\, thunderous grooves colliding with dreamlike sonic landscapes. Without a harmony instrument\, the music is raw and direct\, rich in melody and rhythm. \nDebut album in development. Release planned for 2027. \nRobin Fincker: tenor saxophone/clarinet\nLaura Jurd: trumpet\nSimon Jermyn: bass\nDave Smith: 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
