Event information

'MDX Jazz Presents' the Joy Ellis Group at The Spice Of Life on Sunday 25th November, the closing night of the EFG London Jazz Festival.

“MDX Jazz Presents” is a collaboration at the Spice of Life in Soho to promote the work of current and former students of the Middlesex University BA Jazz course.

The BA Jazz course at Middlesex University has been producing innovative and highly creative musicians ever since its inception in 1993. Hans Koller, Femi Temowo and Stian Westerhus were all Middlesex students, and a new wave of Middlesex composers and improvisers such as Led Bib, Maria Chiara Argirò and Binker Golding have recently had a major impact on the UK jazz scene.
Middlesex alumni Joy Ellis is a pianist, singer and composer based in London. In November 2017, Joy released her debut album entitled 'Life On Land' on F-IRE. The album reflects her passion for jazz and improvisation, her love of groove and dance music, her classical roots as a pianist and the soulful, poetic aspects of being a singer-songwriter.

‘Fiery improvisations from Ellis who provides well-structured hard-bop solos on piano and Fender Rhodes.’ John Lewis, The Guardian ★★★★
