Loop residency

Jim Hart's Gemini

Vibraphonist Jim Hart is one of the fastest rising stars of the UK jazz scene. In just a few short years he has carved out a reputation as one of the most talented young British composers and musicians garnering praise from the likes of John Surman and Joe Locke.

Gemini's secret weapon is the enormously talented Ivo Neame on alto sax and the dynamic rhythm section of bassist Jasper Hoiby and drummer Dave Smith.

Hart’s music mixes powerful melodies with free improvisation and some killer grooves. Lyrical and accessible, the music is driven by raw energy and is awash with creativity and a sense of freedom.

'Hart has developed an impressively individual voice' (Jazzwise).

Holler

Formed by bassist Ryan Trebilcock, Holler combines some of the hottest young talent from the London scene playing Trebilcock's hypnotic, labyrinthine originals, intense grooves and raw, assertive improvising.

Ryan Trebilcock (double bass, compositions), George Crowley (clarinet, tenor saxophone), Lewis Wright (vibrophone), Hannes Riepler (electric guitar) and Joshua Morrison (drums).
