SUMMARY:MALI SHEARD'S HOMESTEAD
DESCRIPTION:SoundCellar and Tomorrow’s Warriors present MALI SHEARD’S HOMESTEAD. Undoubtedly destined to become stars of the future\, we welcome alto/soprano saxophonist Mali Sheard and her Homestead quintet to Poole\, marking our second collaboration with the award-winning artist development organisation Tomorrow’s Warriors. \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 \nAgain featuring outstanding young musicians\, this quintet made an extremely strong impression on members of the SoundCellar team at both the We Out Here and London Jazz Festivals in 2025. \nBlending the lyricism of folk traditions with the rhythmic drive of contemporary jazz\, Mali Sheard is a young saxophonist and composer whose music is both evocative and adventurous. Leading this dynamic quintet\, she crafts original compositions that explore melody\, groove\, and improvisation\, drawing influence from Brian Blade and the Fellowship\, Phil Woods\, Antonio Carlos Jobim\, and Laura Mvula. \nHer songs often reflect on personal journeys – discovering new people and places\, facing challenges\, and returning to the “comfort of the homestead” to reflect and dream of future adventures. This storytelling approach gives her music a sense of warmth\, intimacy\, and cinematic scope. \nMali met her bandmates – Keira Chakraborty\, Ky Osborne\, George Balmont and Luke McCarthy (seen at SoundCellar with Donovan Haffner last November)\, through Tomorrow’s Warriors and the Royal Academy of Music\, forming a compelling ensemble. \nWith their debut recording forthcoming\, Mali Sheard and her quintet continue to push boundaries\, creating music that is heartfelt\, imaginative\, and distinctly their own – a sound poised to leave a lasting mark on the UK jazz scene. \nABOUT TOMORROW’S WARRIORS\nIf you know your UK jazz\, then you probably already know Tomorrow’s Warriors. Over the 35 years the talent development charity 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. \nThey have supported 1000s of young musicians and helped nurture the careers of so many of the most exciting UK artists currently tearing up the international jazz scene including Mercury Prize 2023 winners and BRIT Awards Best Group of 2025 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…the list goes on. \n“Tomorrow’s Warriors occupies a unique and vital space in our cultural landscape. Their work in helping positively shape future generations is of critical importance especially with the tribulations we currently face. Please keep supporting – each one\, teach one!” Gilles Peterson \nMali Sheard: Alto & soprano saxophones\nKeira Chakraborty: Flute\nKy Osborne: Keys\nGeorge Balmont: Bass\nLuke McCarthy: Drums \nEntry is £17.50 (no booking fee) in advance through the below link\, or £20 on the door (cash or card). \n \nShare this event

SUMMARY:FABIENNE AMBUEHL QUARTET
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to present London-based Swiss pianist\, singer and composer FABIENNE AMBUEHL and her QUARTET\, for her debut performance at SoundCellar. \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 \nFabienne Ambuehl is known for her vibrant contemporary jazz with a unique blend of folk\, poetry and storytelling. With supple piano playing and rich emotive vocals\, she draws inspiration from the stillness of nature and the sounds of city life. Her music has a striking energy and dynamism\, and captures vivid images of place and landscape. \nAmbuehl first made her mark with Glitterwoods (Traumton\, Berlin)\, listed as an ‘Album of the Year’ by UK Vibe\, and has since played and recorded internationally as a pianist and singer with various artists\, including as the improvising soloist for Jazzchoir Freiburg at the Eurovision Song Contest for Choirs in Riga 2017. \nHer latest album Thrive (Ubuntu Music)\, was released in 2025 to glowing acclaim from the international jazz press.  Jazzwise’s Peter Quinn rated Thrive with 4**** and described it as ‘an impressively immersive musical experience’\, while Nick Lea from Jazzviews describes Ambuehl’s vocals as ‘crystal clear\, distinct and refreshingly free of jazz clichés’. \nThrive was selected ‘Album of the Week’ on both Presto Music and the German Rondo Magazin\, has had regular UK radio play on BBC Radio 3 and was on the JazzFM playlist for several weeks. \nAmbuehl leads a quartet with some of the UK’s most in-demand jazz musicians\, all of them SoundCellar ‘frequent flyers‘: bassist Yuri Goloubev\, Tom Ollendorff on guitar\, and for this special concert they are joined by the fantastic Ryan Thrupp on drums. With compelling rhythms and influences drawn from blues\, Brahms and the Beatles\, the Fabienne Ambuehl Quartet creates a sound that is daring yet intimate\, and truly its own. \nFabienne Ambuehl: piano and vocals\nYuri Goloubev: bass\nRyan Thrupp: drums\nTom Ollendorff: 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

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 2023\, 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

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.

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

Breen & Boizi is primarily a collaboration between friends: the joining together of musical ideas formed at the celebrated artist development organisation ‘Tomorrow’s Warriors’ and developed through immersion in the creativity and pace of today’s vibrant London jazz scene. \nThe name ‘Ankora’ is derived from the Latin word for ‘anchor’ (anchora): a symbol of groundedness\, hope and a connection to roots. These connotations are expressed through their repertoire of both originals and covers of powerful jazz tunes. The name links to an alternative meaning in Italian\, ‘again’\, marking the momentum of their rebirth as they continue their musical and artistic journey following mentorship within Tomorrow’s Warriors. \nThe band’s influences include the legacies of Freddie Hubbard\, Herbie Hancock\, Joe Henderson and Wayne Shorter\, while branching out to the more contemporary mastery of esperanza spalding\, Geri Allen\, Jeff ‘Tain’ Watts and Kenny Kirkland. The ensemble takes inspiration from the spark and power of these jazz legends\, compositionally and in their playing. \nTonight\, Ankora join forces with Breen and Boizi: two composers and improvisers in their own right\, and together a dynamic duo who have recently joined forces to lead a new and up-coming band. Their years of sharing the stage\, as well as their lasting friendship\, shine in their frontline playing. Breen’s powerful and bright alto sax tone blends beautifully with Boizi’s warm\, soulful trombone; an exciting addition to the double trumpet Ankora frontline of Clifton and Devlin. Along with guitarist Adebanjo and bassist Dimitrova\, we are delighted here at SoundCellar to welcome back pianist Abuoma and drummer Radford\, who performed for us in May this year in their fantastic trio SULA. \nWith pre-show Q&A at 7.45pm \nHannah Clifton: Trumpet\nKlara Devlin: Trumpet\nTami Adebanjo: Guitar\nAleks Dimitrova: Bass\nMiranda Radford: Drums\nKezia Abuoma: Piano\nChrist-Stéphane Boizi: Trombone\nLauren Breen: Sax \nAnkora photography credit: Jamie Broadis \nShare this event

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
