This gig will be incredible, DO NOT MISS! Set starting at 20:30, followed by an open stage jam til midnight. This week we're incredibly lucky to have the phenomenal Adam Waldmann, one of the finest jazz musicians in the UK and leader of the Kairos 4tet, playing a set of burning hot Jazz-Funk with an incredible group of musicians, including two of London's leading rhythm section players. Adam Waldmann is one of the leading voices amongst the new generation of players in the UK and is the leader of the Kairos 4tet, who won the prestigious MOBO 'Best Jazz' award in 2011. 'Waldmann's luxurious tenor sound and poised phrasing are both tradition rooted and restlessly contemporary...' John Fordham, The Guardian '...one of the most distinctive saxophonists in the UK...' Manchester Evening News Beyond Kairos 4tet, you may have heard Adam in the company of Paloma Faith, Polar Bear, Will Vinson and Alicia Keys. He will be joined by some more of the UK's best new-generation jazz musicians, including drummer Tim Giles, an award-winning performer and composer. Tim has won Best Gig 2006 by Jazzwise magazine, “Best New Act” at the 2007 Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Awards and BBC Jazz on 3 Award for Innovation, amongst many others, and has toured internationally.
