Saturday Gig at the Dome Foyer & Tuesday jam

Coopistas

Tim will be leading the lunchtime jazz gig at the Foyer this Saturday.
Should be a pleasant diversion on the holiday weekend. Tuesday will be
a jam session at the Park View Tavern. Bring charts for what you want
to play. I will bring some of the tunes that we did at the workshop
last Saturday.

Tuesdays BJMC Workshop

Co-opistas

we will be running a jam session on Tuesday at the Open House. This
will be the last week at the  Open House when we move over to the Park
view Tavern for the three weeks in the Festival.

A great time was had by the people that did the jazzrock workshop.
Some really tricky tunes came together remarkably quickly. We were
joined by Lorraine Bowen's vocal workshop for the last number of the
lunchtime gig. I have been asked to run it again in the Autumn and
Alex Maguire and Phil Miller were also up for it.

Enjoy the sun while it lasts.

Fwd: Ska Kestra - Fourth Glorious Year!


SKA KESTRA - Concorde 2, Sat 21st May - Fourth Glorious Year!
5 trumpets - 5 trombones - 5 saxophones and the rest!

Once more unto the skank dear friends,

If you look out of the highest window in your abode you might catch a glimpse of the tents and pennants of the mighty Ska Kestra as it masses for its fourth assault on the Brighton Festival Fringe. The legendary Mark Bassey will be leading us in the lists - tilting at the great titles of the ska repertoire (ok, enough is enough). We aim to sell out yet again and to aid us in this endeavour we are teaming up with DJ Amma (dubbed the "Queen of Ska" by no less than Toots himself). Book early and don't hang about on the night - DJ Amma on at 7.00 - Kestra on 8.30 - 10. Look forwarding to seeing you there.

p.s. If you have the inclination and the technology to print this rather beautiful poster and put it up in your front window that would be a massive help to us (especially if you live in Brighton) - your endorsement will count for a lot with the neighbours I am sure!

p.p.s. for those of you pining for the return of the mighty Michael Munday - he returns from world travel on 20th May and rest assured we will get him on to that stage.

Peter for the Ska Kestra and Toons

Saturday Foyer gig

This Saturday 23rd sees Phil Miller and Alex Maguire of Hatfield and
the North leading a day workshop for the Coop at the Corn exchange.
They will be taking us through some early Soft Machine numbers and
some other tunes that Phil and Robert Wyatt have written. The 10 piece
workshop band will also perform the lunchtime gig 1.00 - 2.00 at the
Dome Foyer so get along and enjoy.

Tuesdays BJMC Workshop

Co-opistas

This Tuesday the trumpet player Kjell Berglund will be leading the
session. Kjell, who used to run the Swedish High School in Portslade,
played with Terry Seabrook for a number of years. He usually brings
very contemporary tunes and some of them have passed into the Coop jam
session song book.

If anyone is wanting to do the day workshop next Saturday then let me
know quickly as we now have some charts to work on. The cost is a
stupidly cheap £20. The tunes of Robert Wyatt and Hugh Hopper will
require some advance homework. The workshop will also be performing at
the Dome Foyer next Saturday so check it out whilst enjoying the
excellent coffee. There is no Coop performance there today although it
is open.

Fwd: gig at the Brunwick

I'm writing again to inform you and members of the Brighton Jazz
Musicians Cooperative about the premier performance of The Brighton
Jazz Suite which my big band will be performing on April 24th (Easter
Sunday) at 8pm at the Brunswick,  Holland Road, Hove.

The members of my fantastic band are:

Dave Moorhouse,  Martijn van Galen,  Rob Heasman,  Bob Turner  (trumpets)
Paul Nieman,  Mark Bassey,  Tim Wade and Howard Beagley (trombones)
Alex Bondonno, Phil Paton, Brendan Kelly,  Simon D'Souza, Anna Jordanous (saxes)
Terry Pack (string bass) , Jerry Dearden (bass guitar),  Dave Trigwell
(drums) and myself on piano/compositions

Unlike other big bands,  almost everyone gets a chance to solo and
each one is a terrific soloist in their own right.

Tickets are £8 and £3 concessions (students).

The pieces are all based on past and present aspects of Brighton.  It
is my policy to have more local relevance of jazz than is normally the
case.
I've never worked in a cotton plantation in the deep South or in a bar
in New York City,   but I have walked along Brighton sea-front.

best wishes,
Paul Busby

Soul Train Gigs


Tuesdays BJMC Workshop

Co-opistas

Tim Bolwell will be leading tomorrow nights workshop. There will be no
Saturday gig at the Dome as another event is taking place. However the
final gig before the summer break for the jazz club sees the Dave
Stapleton Quintet coming over from Wales. The band plays all of Dave's
own very contemporary tunes. Fabulous arrangements and some amazing
trumpet and sax playing. It has my personal guarantee.

And finally, the week after (23rd) sees our day jazz/rock workshop
where Alex Maguire will be taking us through some of the Canterbury
Bands music. Robert Wyatt fans should not miss this at an amazing £20.
There are still some places so let me know if you want to book on.

A couple of kineojazz dates at the The Basement for 2011

Hi,

Thanks to all of you who made the 2010 gigs at The Basement with Joe Lee Wilson, Claire Martin, Cubana Bop and Liane Carroll such a success. It's given us the confidence to put some more dates in the diary - both of which are on Saturday nights.

Saturday April 30th is a great line-up featuring the trumpeter/singer Sue Richardson and her band. Sue is gaining a national reputation with her gigging and recording - you can find examples of her music here: www.splashpointmusic.com/sue.html. She joined by a great band featuring Andy Williams (guitar), Neal Richardson (piano) George Trebar (double bass) and Sam Glasson (drums).

Support is provided by Smithville, an exciting new quintet Andy Pickett (baritone & flute), yours truly (guitar), Alice Hawkes (organ), Keith Baxter (bass), Phil Naylor (drums).

Saturday 18th June we have the legendary hammond organ player from New York - Dr Lonnie Smith and his Trio, featuring the brilliant guitarist Jonathan Kreisberg and the equally brilliant young drummer Jamire Williams (drummers - you have to check out some of his solos on youtube).

Details attached and on the kineojazz website:  http://www.kineojazz.com/ - this also has plenty of great pics from the previous gigs.

Online booking at The Dome and here: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/165120

Hope you can make it!

Fwd: Kairos 4tet @ Brighton Jazz Club

Co-opistas

This is one of the new wave young bands to come out recently on the
excellent Edition records. Should be a good live gig. The following
week is the Dave Staplerton Quintet which is totally to die for. I've
seen them live twice and they totally blew me away.

Dear All,
This coming Friday evening, for our penultimate club night at Komedia,
we are delighted to welcome rising stars Kairos 4tet on a national
tour promoting the release of thier new CD 'Statement of Intent'. The
following is by John Styles from our website:

Adam Waldmann Saxophone
Ivo Neame Piano
Jasper Høiby  Bass
Jon Scott Drums

The members of Kairos 4tet are four of the freshest talents on the UK
jazz scene, yet such is the impact that they have already made
collectively and individually, they will be familiar to many
listeners. The band seem destined to develop a strong presence in
jazz, to rank alongside Partisans and Perfect Houseplants.

Bandleader Adam first played for us last summer, with the Sam Crowe
Group, a unit that also includes Jasper. Such was the impact of that
gig, and hearing Adam's debut band CD Kairos Moment, that tonight's
appearance became a necessity. The debut recording and the new CD,
Statement of Intent, (launched on this tour) confirm the buzz about
Adam's talents as a saxophonist and composer; he acknowledges the
influence of his teachers and mentors such as Mark Lockheart and
Julian Argüelles, as well as the wider appeal of Miles, Joe Henderson,
Herbie Hancock, Stevie Wonder and many others.

Jasper is of course one of the most hotly-tipped talents of recent
years, as leader of Phronesis, with Jim Hart's Gemini and the Loop and
F-ire Collectives. The third Phronesis CD Alive was rated Jazz Album
of the Year 2010 by both Jazzwise and Mojo. It features Ivo, another
multi-talented player who has gigged with Stan Sulzmann, Tim Garland,
Jim Mullen, and Gerard Presencer. His own band have recorded Caught In
The Light of Day (Edition Records).

Jon is now London-based after gigging in Manchester; he's performed
with Byron Wallen, Alec Dankworth, Martin Speake, Nikki Iles, Yuri
Goloubev and Mike Walker. A major part of the group's sound, he is
also currently working with the Pete Hurt and Hannes Riepler Quartets,
Carlos Lopez-Real's Mandorla and Anglo-German collaboration Paragon.

For more information see www.kairos4tet.com.

Tickets, priced at £12/10 are sold on the door, in advance (up to 1pm
on the Friday of the performance) from The Dome Box Office (Tel: 01273
709709), and online through Brighton Ticket Shop
www.brightonticketshop.com

Hope to see you there,

Very best wishes,
Tim Haillay

Tuesdays BJMC Workshop

Co-opistas

This Tuesday Tim Sweetlips Bollwell will be running one of our ever
popular open mic sessions. All the adrenaline of a performance but
with none of the fear of total humiliation. Tim will be playing today
at the Dome Saturday lunch slot so catch up with his honey tone there.

On the wider front, the arts took a major kick in the nether regions
from the government this week with a massive cut to the Arts Council
Grant. This will affect Same Sky who organise the massively popular
Children's Parade next year.The Arts Council has also been an
important supporter of Brighton Jazz Club in the past. Next Saturday
the Trades Council is organising an anti cuts workshop @ Falmer.
Details on the link below.
