22nd November 2017 Eyal Lovett Trio featuring Eran Har Even £8
We're honoured to welcome a rising star pianist and composer, Israeli born and now residing in Berlin, Eyal Lovett, who's wonderful album 'Tales from a Forbidden Land' featured the great US guitarist Gilad Hekselman.

With Eyal are Mathias Jensen (bass), Aidan Lowe (drums), and a special guest Eran Har Even on guitar, a leading figure on the Dutch jazz scene.
29th November 2017 DOUBLE BILL Taupe / Kapok £10
Two very different bands, but both sharing a progressive and expansive approach drawing on a wide range of influences. Kapok bring an infectious rhythmic, fierce live energy, delving into funk rock, classical music, free improv and African music to produce something entirely original.Taupe are equally energetic, but increasing the volume, brash, razor sharp polyrhythmic intensity and exploratory approach, mixing improvisation with electronics to produce something wholly original and vibrant.
6th December 2017 DOUBLE BILL Favourite Animals / Article XI £10
Two large bands with a shared common ground and featuring a total of 15 of the most creative improvising musicians in the UK. Article XI Article XI was formed as a Manchester Jazz Festival commission in 2015. Led by Anton Hunter, this 11 piece band brings a collective approach to composition. Favourite Animals is based around the core of Cath's quintet Sloth Racket, and utilising her wonderful graphic scoring techniques, you can expect to hear a fluid and organic mix of big riffs and free improvisation.
13th December 2017 Johnny Hunter Quartet £7
A welcome return with a new line-up for one of our favourite musicians, drummer Johnny Hunter
Playing music that explores the freer, more improvised side of jazz, with influences from Henry Threadgill, Ornette Coleman, and Joe Harriott, the quartet features Mark Hanslip on tenor sax, Graham South on trumpet and Seth Bennett on bass.
20th December 2017 Jamie Taylor, Sam Dunn, Alan Barnes £8
