Jazz at Karamel: Alan Barnes, Kate Williams, Dave Green, Stu Butterfield - 6th April

Posted by Phil Sherman on February 6, 2017 at 5:09pm in Single Events

ALAN BARNES has won the prestigious BBC Jazz Instrumentalist of the Year Award on several occasions, has produced over 40 CDs on his own Woodville label and frequently comperes major Jazz Festivals. He recently featured on the Bryan Ferry “Jazz Age” recording, and on the Great Gatsby film soundtrack. He has extremely busy freelance and teaching schedules, while leading ensembles from Duos to Big Bands.

KATE WILLIAMS is a recipient of the John Dankworth Award For Talent Deserving Wider Recognition, she has gained a distinctive reputation as both a writer and performer.
“Williams has a quality rare among jazz composers: a musical vocabulary that’s all her own”
The Observer

DAVE GREEN had established himself as a major figure by the end of the 60s having worked with musicians as diverse as Stan Tracey and Humphrey Lyttelton. He also played and recorded with many front-rank visiting Americans who counted themselves fortunate in having his solidity and flair behind them. Throughout the 80s and into the following decades, Green remained at the forefront of British jazz, working with Peter King, Didier Lockwood, Spike Robinson and a host of other British and visiting jazzmen. A superb timekeeper and exceptional soloist, Green is the essence of the international jazz musician.

STU BUTTERFIELD has been a well established and highly regarded drummer on the UK scene since the late sixties. Throughout the past ten years, he has been back with a vengeance performing in a variety of groups and as a regular at Jazz at Karamel!

Dorance Lorza & the Sexteto Cafe - March 1st

Posted by Phil Sherman on February 6, 2017 at 4:23pm in Single Events

Karamel Restaurant March 1st

Dorance Lorza & Sexteto Cafe have been one of the leading bands in the vibrant and exciting London salsa scene since they formed in 1996. Pioneering the worldwide “salsa con vibes” revival of the late 1990s, they were one of the first bands in Europe to favour the small combo salsa sound of 1960s/1970s bands like Joe Cuba Sextet/ New Swing Sextet/Pete Terrace Combo rather than that of the more common big brass-heavy salsa orchestras of the day.

Over the years, they have become one of the most popular and booked salsa bands in the UK and have been featured at many prestigious salsa congresses and jazz festivals .

Tickets are £12 OTD/£10 limited early bird tickets from www.karamel.london

Jazz at Karamel: Threeway - March 30th

Posted by Phil Sherman on February 6, 2017 at 4:05pm in Single Events
Threeway combines two of the UK’s leading players with one of the North’s most experienced bandleader/composers, exploring the subtle and open possibilities of a group without drums. The variety of the original compositions, contributed by all the group members, and the different tone colours created by the instruments ensure a satisfying and well rounded performance. Their interplay creates a natural intensity combined with an acute sensitivity to dynamics.
 
Doors open 7pm, Music starts at 8pm
 
Earlybird tickets available £8 from www.karamel.london or £10 OTD
 
“their improvisations just seem to fall into place. It’s subtle music – warm, melodic and gently intriguing.” – Dave Gelly, The Observer
