Doors 7:45 PM, Music 8:30 PM – 2 sets of music Line-up: David Austin Grey – Piano/Synthesizer Sam Wooster – Trumpet Shivraj Singh – Double bass Nathan England-Jones – Drum kit About “A band with crazy telepathy who really enjoy the music.” Mr. Scruff A welcome return to the Vortex from this highly acclaimed Birmingham-based ensemble Led by pianist/composer David Austin Grey This close-knit group of the UK’s finest improvisers bring a deep sense of understanding and common purpose to each composition. The music unfolds equally in gently weaving turns and dynamic sweeps as they navigate different moods and emotions; from sweet and tender, through to frenetic, assertive energy. The band draws from contemporary jazz, alongside hip-hop, electronica, bebop, minimalism and romantic classical music, producing warm, reflective, open-hearted and lyrical jazz. This appearance sees the band performing all-new material from their forthcoming album release.
