Editor’s picks from this month’s listings:
Jazz Services’ listings editor Sabina Czajkowska takes us through her picks for February’s listings. Many venues closed down or stopped their jazz nights last year, but we are happy to share some good news this time: Jazz Café in Newcastle is back in business. Russell Corbett reports: Twelve months after the death of proprietor Keith Crombie Newcastle’s Jazz Café has reopened for business. The late-night Pink Lane venue has been given a makeover and now functions as a daytime café bar and an evening bar café (spot the difference!). An ongoing programme of jazz on Friday and Saturday nights features mainly trios and the occasional quartet. The Paul Edis Trio is in residence every second Friday in the month. We were also informed that there has been a change of venue for the Jazz Nights run by Roger Odell in Clare. It’s now the Cock Inn, Clare, Suffolk – check our listings for details and support the musicians! The legendary pub Bull’s Head in Barnes reopened in December after refurbishment and under new management – live music continues. Check the website for details and our online listings for full February programme. Started in 1959, Bull’s Head alongside Ronnie Scott’s, is the world’s longest continuously running jazz club!

Bands touring this month with Jazz Services support Bands touring this month with Jazz Services support include Ant Law Quartet, Damon Brown/Martin Zenker Quintet, Let Sn, Realms, Tori Freestone Trio, Boink! and Josh Kemp’s Jazz Prophets whom we feature on this issue’s cover.
Josh Kemp’ Jazz Prophets Josh Kemp’s melodic inventiveness, warm tone and heartfelt and lyrical approach to improvisation have marked him out as a hot prospect for some years now - an Oxford philosophy graduate who is equally at ease playing within the jazz tradition or his own compositions in a contemporary style. Since winning scholarships to study at the Guildhall and Trinity College of Music, as well as the Daily Telegraph Young Jazz Band of the Year award for his previous group Bop Art, Kemp has established himself as a prominent member of the Walthamstow-based e17 Jazz collective and with this tour he further asserts himself as an increasingly visible figure on the national stage. His current quartet – the Jazz Prophets - features Tim Lapthorn on piano, Mick Hutton on bass and Matt Skelton on drums, all of whom display a similarly flowing and intuitive playing style that communicates directly with audiences. Their latest CD is entitled Tone Poetry and is due for release to coincide with the tour.
