Edrix Puzzle is a six piece group evolved from the Planet Battagon project. What started as a studio-based project has metamophosed into an explosive and daring live ensemble. Rooted with a heavy groove foundation of bass and drums, Edrix Puzzle embarks on psychedelic explorations through jazz, electronic and ambient music.
The band will perform selections from their two albums, ‘Coming Of The Moon Dogs’ and ‘Lotus Blossom’ interspersed with free improvisations and rich kaleidoscopic soundscapes.
Tugg - drums & drum synth, Tom Mason - electric upright bass, Martin Slattery - soprano sax & bass clarinet, Oli Savill - percussion, Mickey Ball - trumpet, Johnny Tomlinson - keys & modular synth.
“…boldly going further, taking multi-coloured acoustic tones, scorching beats and synth ballistics somewhere deeper into the vortex where Sun-Ra, Mwandishi era Hancock, Richard James and other sonic outliers do magic.”
Iconic venue Jazzlive at The Crypt turns 30 and we invite you to join us for our celebration on Fri 24th October. Leading the celebration will be a fine ensemble - Mingus Moves - named after the album of that title by jazz legend Charles Mingus.
Leading the line up is bassist, band leader and co-founder of Tomorrow's Warriors Gary Crosby OBE, and for this special celebratory concert he is joined by some of the finest talent in London - Alex Ho - piano, Mark Kavuma - trumpet, David Kayode - sax, Miranda Radford - drums, Christ-Stéphane Boizi - trombone, and Nahuel Angius-Thomas - bassoon.
A note on Mingus Moves . . . . .
For this special celebration, Crosby will lead his band through his personal favourite from the Mingus catalogue – Mingus Moves, recorded in 1973 and possibly his last great album. There will also be some classic Mingus tracks including Goodbye Pork Pie Hat and II BS.

Nidara draws on inspiration from contemporary jazz musicians such as Lucia Cadotsch and Dave Holland, presenting original music and repertoire from female composers and lyricists such as Molly Drake and Fran Landesmann. Nick Willsher (tenor saxophone), Hoda Jahanpour (cello) and Myra Brownbridge (double bass) present you with a night of fresh sounds as they explore the deep timbres of their respective instruments balanced with the gentle tones of Hoda and Myra’s vocals. Expect an intimate night of heartwarming music. (For a Crypt Camberwell special, this evening the trio will also feature fantastic local guitarist, James Kitchman.)
Pete Billington, Alec Dankworth and Pete Cater complete the lineup.
