Friday August 6th
Oriole
British Guitarist and Composer Jonny Phillips visits the club again on one of his forays into the UK from his base in Andalucia. The Spanish environment has rubbed off on him, demonstrated by this wonderful collection of jazz, North African and Mediterranean inspired compositions. A totally first class band. Timeout says:

“Guitarist Jonny Phillips might just be the next big star to emerge from the F- IRE Collective, the loose confederation of forward-looking musicians that include the Mercury- nominated Polar Bear and the hip-punk Jazz outfit Acoustic Ladyland, But while those bands embrace electronica, funk and rock influences, Phillips who played on the Polar Bear album and who regularly collaborates with folky songstress Julia Biel is a different beast altogether. His music is a pastoral, impressionistic mix of soaring melodies and South American folklore that strives to create an aural form of magical realism. Dreamlike and beautiful, it sounds simultaneously contemporary and yet centuaries old.
His band Oriole are something of a F-IRE collective supergroup with big haired drummer Sebastian Rochford (Polar Bear, Acoustic Ladyland, Fulbourn, Taversham), cellist Ben Davis (Julia Biel, Django Bates), Lee Konitz-ish saxophonist Ingrid Laubrock (Monica Vasconcellos), claranetist Idris Rahman (Soothsayers), Danish bass player Anders Christensen (Paul Motion) and Brazilian Percussionist Adriano Adawali Itauna.
Their new Album 'Migration' is an early contender for jazz release of the year, a sublime, slightly unsettling but emotionally rewarding work that draws on folk, north Brazilian, West African and Mediterranean music. Like the Norwegian pianist Christian Wallumrod, Phillips conjures music that is quietly intense, beguilingly beautiful and full of pleasingly robust tunes that stay with you long after you hear them. Expect waltzes, gentle samba, persuasive grooves, poignant themes and uplifting melodies that'll make you smile, think and want to dance.”

The lineup will be Jonny Phillips - guitar/composition; Ingrid Laubrock - Sax; Ben Davis - Cello; Ruth Goller - Bass; Nick Ramm - Piano; Adriano Adewale - Percussion; Seb Rochford - Drums

This is a rare chance to see the full original lineup of Oriole whose members live as far away as New York and Andalucia. They will be playing music from their forthcoming album "Between the mountains and the sea" which they will be recording prior to this gig.
