I have another gig coming up this week with my sextet.

Thursday 4th of July at the Jazz Nursery in Southwark http://www.jazznursery.com/

This is the last gig that we currently have booked in, I hope to sort some more out soon once I’ve been able to write some new music. But it could be a while some come down and catch us while you can.

I also have another couple of gigs this week that I’m looking forward to,

Monday 1st of July (tomorrow!) at The Oxford with Rick Simpson’s new Septet http://jazzattheoxford.com/

and Friday the 5th of July at the Con Cellar Bar with Reuben Fowler’s great Octet. http://concellarjazz.co.uk/

Only a few days until the Con Cellar Bar on Friday night (1st of Feb). I’ve written a whole set of new tunes for a new sextet, the line up is

The line up is:
Josh Arcoleo – tenor
Tom Challenger – tenor, clarinet
Lewis Wright – vibes
Sam Lasserson – bass
Jeff Williams – drums
And I’m on various saxophones and clarinets

I am finishing up the parts now for everyone and am feeling a mixture of fear and excitement. But I’m really looking forward to it and it feels like it’s been a long time coming.

It’s a double bill with Martin Speake who is playing in a trio with the amazing Kit Downes and Jeff Williams, which frankly sounds incredible.

As you can imagine I am very excited about playing with such an incredible group of musicians and am doing my utmost to come up with some music worthy of their time and effort.

Did I mention I’m very excited about this?

I hope to see you there, it’s a double bill with Martin Speake’s amazing quartet so if all else fails I can guarantee at least one set of great music.

Come and check it out. More info at http://www.concellarjazz.co.uk (ignore the fact that it says ‘Michael Chillingworth Quartet’, this project came together too late for the listings.)
