SUMMARY:LIVESTREAM: JO LAWRY'S ACROBATS TRIO
DESCRIPTION:Australian vocalist Jo Lawry brings her Acrobats Trio to SoundCellar\, in a special Friday evening performance at The Grasshopper. \nClick here for tickets to attend the physical gig.\nLivestream Ticket link below \nAustralian vocalist Jo Lawry has forged an impressive solo career with a global fan base\, while learning deep respect as a ‘musician’s singer’ within and beyond jazz circles. She’s also spent nearly a decade performing and recording with Sting and has worked with Paul Simon and Peter Gabriel. The two albums she released as a singer/songwriter/producer\, Taking Pictures (2015) and The Bathtub and the Sea (2017) garnered critical acclaim. Now\, more than 10 years since her last solo jazz album\, Lawry presents her new live project and chordless band Acrobats Trio\, and album of the same name (Whirlwind Recordings\, FEB 2023)\, unequivocally returning to the genre alongside globally in-demand bassist Orlando le Fleming and versatile drummer Allison Miller (Linda May Han Oh features on double bass on the album). \nOrlando le Fleming is among the most proficient and accomplished bassists in the field of contemporary jazz. His virtuoso technique\, boundless creativity and powerful beat are those of a musician who has found himself\, humbly\, occupying a space in the uppermost stratum of American improvised music. \nOriginally from the UK\, Le Fleming’s 2003 move to New York City was a timely one. Soon after arriving stateside\, Orlando joined Jane Monheit’s band\, consequently sharing the bass duties on her 2004 release Taking a Chance on Love with Ron Carter and Christian McBride; the year following\, he recorded with jazz legend Jimmy Cobb. In the years since\, leaders as diverse as Branford Marsalis\, Joey Calderazzo\, Kurt Rosenwinkel\, Bill Charlap\, Billy Cobham\, Seamus Blake\, Wayne Krantz\, and David Sanchez have relied on Le Fleming’s firm beat and eloquent counterpoint to propel their rhythm sections forward. While he succeeds as a sideman\, Orlando has released several albums as a leader and co leader working alongside musicians such as Will Vinson\, Lage Lund\, Antonio Sanchez\, Kurt Elling\, Mark Turner and Jeff “Tain” Watts. \nAllison Miller is a NYC-based drummer/composer/teacher who engages her deep roots in improvisation as a vehicle to explore all music. Described by critics as a Modern Jazz Icon in the Making\, Miller won Downbeat magazine’s 67th Annual Critics Poll “Rising Star Drummer” and JazzTimes magazine’s Critics Poll. Her composition\, “Otis Was a Polar Bear”\, is included on NPR’s list of The 200 Greatest Songs by 21st Century Women+. She is also the first recipient of the Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation’s Commissioning Grant. In January 2020 Miller along with her band\, Boom Tic Boom\, tap dancer-Claudia Rahardjanoto\, and video designer-Todd Winkler premiered this new multimedia suite\, In Our Veins\, with a seven show tour sponsored by Jazz Touring Network and Mid Atlantic Arts. Miller\, a three time Jazz Ambassador for the U.S. State Department\, was Monterey Jazz Festival’s 2019 Artist in Residence\, alongside bassist/producer Derrick Hodge. She is also a proud member of the critically acclaimed BlueNote recording supergroup Artemis. \nAs a side-musician\, Miller has been the rhythmic force behind such artists as Sara Bareilles\, Ani DiFranco\, Natalie Merchant\, Brandi Carlile\, Toshi Reagon\, Dr. Lonnie Smith\, Patricia Barber\, Marty Ehrlich\, Ben Allison\, and Late Night with Seth Meyers. \nJo Lawry – voice\nOrlando le Fleming – double bass\nAllison Miller – 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:JOHN LAW / IAIN BALLAMY quartet (Robert Mitchell’s True Think postponed)
DESCRIPTION:Unfortunately due to illness\, with more than one member of the band stricken at the last minute\, Robert Mitchell’s True Think have had to postpone their gig with us tonight. \nHowever\, we are extremely fortunate that one of SoundCellar’s favourite musicians\, pianist JOHN LAW has been able to step into the breach at very short notice. Not only that\, but we are delighted that he will bring with him a true UK jazz legend\, award winning saxophonist IAIN BALLAMY to perform for us\, as part of a Quartet. \nAs most of you will know\, Iain has been at the forefront of the jazz world for many years\, having played with a veritable ‘who’s who’ of international musicians\, as well as being a member of such acclaimed ensembles as Loose Tubes\, Bill Bruford’s Earthworks\, Quercus and others. \nWe therefore hope that you will still want to come tonight for an evening of very high quality jazz and if so\, your Robert Mitchell ticket will be valid for John and Iain’s performance. \nIf however you wish to cancel altogether\, simply let us know via email (soundcellarmusic@yahoo.co.uk) and we will refund your ticket in full. \nWe wish the members of Robert’s band all the best for a speedy recovery and look forward to getting them back to SoundCellar soon. In the meantime we sincerely hope you make it to The Grasshopper as planned this evening for what will undoubtedly be a fantastic gig. \nThis gig will take place at The Grasshopper\, 139 – 141 Bournemouth Rd\, Poole BH14 9HT \nTicket link below \nEntry is £15 + booking fee in advance through the below link\, or £18 on the door (cash or card). \nShare this event

SUMMARY:LIVESTREAM: MATT RIDLEY'S 'THE ANTIDOTE' QUINTET
DESCRIPTION:It has been a while since we had the excellent bass player and composer Matt Ridley at SoundCellar\, so we are thrilled to now welcome him back!  He comes to us with his quintet The Antidote\, all of whom are former ‘graduates’ of SoundCellar from various ensembles over the years! \nClick here for tickets to attend the physical gig.\nLivestream Ticket link below \nThe Antidote are an exciting young contemporary jazz quintet\, featuring leading lights of the UK scene. Brainchild of bassist Matt Ridley\, the music is firmly rooted within the contemporary jazz discipline\, and also emanates both rock overtones and classical influences\, evolved from decades of genuine passion for music. Matt inhabits his own space within the creative diaspora\, being able to navigate a broad spectrum of inspirations and transform them into a vibrant and exciting sound. \nThe Antidote features the formidable quintet of Alex Hitchcock on saxophone\, Ant Law on guitar\, Tom Hewson on piano\, Marc Michel on drums\, and of course Matt Ridley on bass. With an insistence on detailed\, expressive and thought-through compositions\, Ridley allows time and space for both himself and his band members to express and showcase both their individual and collective talents through dynamic improvisation. The synergy between the group and a mutual understanding of each players’ specific nuances are more than apparent\, while still allowing enough freedom for independent flair to shine though. \nCombining this with the more melodic and compositional aspects of the music makes for a truly engaging experience. Rather than a ‘leader + sidemen’ attitude\, Ridley has cultivated a genuine ‘band’ sound\, as Tom Hewson elucidates: \n“This project totally captured my imagination from the first minute of rehearsal. Matt has managed to create something full of incredible compositional range whilst staying totally grounded with this immediate\, unpretentious sense of energy. As someone that came to jazz through rock and prog\, I love that feeling of unshackling\, that desire not to hold back from.

SUMMARY:MATT RIDLEY'S 'THE ANTIDOTE' QUINTET
DESCRIPTION:It has been a while since we had the excellent bass player and composer Matt Ridley at SoundCellar\, so we are thrilled to now welcome him back!  He comes to us with his quintet The Antidote\, all of whom are former ‘graduates’ of SoundCellar from various ensembles over the years! \nTicket link below \nThis gig will take place at The Grasshopper\, 139 – 141 Bournemouth Rd\, Poole BH14 9HT \nThe Antidote are an exciting young contemporary jazz quintet\, featuring leading lights of the UK scene. Brainchild of bassist Matt Ridley\, the music is firmly rooted within the contemporary jazz discipline\, and also emanates both rock overtones and classical influences\, evolved from decades of genuine passion for music. Matt inhabits his own space within the creative diaspora\, being able to navigate a broad spectrum of inspirations and transform them into a vibrant and exciting sound. \nThe Antidote features the formidable quintet of Alex Hitchcock on saxophone\, Ant Law on guitar\, Tom Hewson on piano\, Marc Michel on drums\, and of course Matt Ridley on bass. With an insistence on detailed\, expressive and thought-through compositions\, Ridley allows time and space for both himself and his band members to express and showcase both their individual and collective talents through dynamic improvisation. The synergy between the group and a mutual understanding of each players’ specific nuances are more than apparent\, while still allowing enough freedom for independent flair to shine though. \nCombining this with the more melodic and compositional aspects of the music makes for a truly engaging experience. Rather than a ‘leader + sidemen’ attitude\, Ridley has cultivated a genuine ‘band’ sound\, as Tom Hewson elucidates: \n“This project totally captured my imagination from the first minute of rehearsal. Matt has managed to create something full of incredible compositional range whilst staying totally grounded with this immediate\, unpretentious sense of energy. As someone that came to jazz through rock and prog\, I love that feeling of unshackling\, that desire not to hold back from. The whole band really bought into the spirit from the start – something you can really hear on the record\, and something that definitely comes across live.” \nThe eponymous debut album\, released in 2021\, is a firm favourite of SoundCellar’s John and received glowing reviews from across the globe from coveted publications such as Downbeat Magazine\, BBC Music Magazine\, Jazzwise\, Ivan Rod (Denmark)\, JazzMania (Belgium) and Presto Music. The album also received a nomination for ‘Best Jazz Album of 2021’ in the 2022 Parliamentary Jazz Awards UK\, as well as making the Jazzwise ‘20 best jazz albums of 2021’ (worldwide) list. Incidentally\, John also highly recommends the digital-only release of three extra pieces “The Antidote Reloaded” on Matt’s Bandcamp page. \n‘One of the strongest releases by homegrown jazz talent in 2021′  **** Editors Choice\, Jazzwise Magazine \n‘His assuredness shines through in this set of taut\, modernist originals\, and his band are engaged and supportive’ **** BBC Music Magazine \n‘It’s both Ridley’s excellent usage of his collaborators and his penchant for melody that is undoubtedly the main appeal of his music’ Recording of the Week\, Presto Music \nLine-up\nMatt Ridley – Bass\nAlex Hitchcock – Sax\nAnt Law – Guitar\nTom Hewson – Keys\nMarc Michel – Drums \nMake sure you catch yet another wonderful young jazz ensemble that we are so pleased to be able to present for your delectation\, here in deepest Dorset! \nEntry is £13 + booking fee in advance through the below link\, or £15 on the door (cash or card). \nShare this event

SUMMARY:LIVESTREAM: LARRY GOLDINGS (solo)
DESCRIPTION:SoundCellar are excited to present the US keyboard legend LARRY GOLDINGS in a rare solo performance. Larry has been the keyboard player of choice for John Scofield\, James Taylor\, Steve Gadd\, Robben Ford\, Michael Brecker\, Pat Metheny and many other iconic musicians. \nClick here for tickets to attend the physical gig.\nLivestream Ticket link below \nFor this European tour Larry’s solo performance will feature him as a pianist\, and/or whatever keyboard instruments each venue can provide\, creating an evening of spontaneous\, creative\, and eclectic music. \nPerhaps best known for the organ trio Goldings/Bernstein/Stewart\, Goldings grew up primarily as a pianist\, but\, “home organs\, analog synths\, melodicas – what have you – were equally significant during my formative years. I was very content in my childhood basement\, as a one-man band\, pretty much from the start. It got me thinking about colour\, texture\, orchestration\, and what it feels like to simultaneously be a bass player. I love having other colours at my disposal\, because it leads me down new roads\, with new emotional and storytelling possibilities.” \nPossibly ruining the evening will be guest artist Hans Groiner\, known for removing the best parts of musical ideas. One critic said of his Thelonious Monk interpretations\, “Kill me now”…….. \nLarry Goldings – keyboards \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:Postponed - LIVESTREAM: 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! \nClick here for tickets to attend the physical gig.\nLivestream Ticket 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. \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:LIVESTREAM: 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! \nClick here for tickets to attend the physical gig.\nLivestream Ticket link below \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 \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

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.
