Event information

The Con Cellar Bar, one of London's underground jazz gems for over a decade, plays host to new projects from each of its residents - Alice Leggett, George Crowley and Sam Jesson.

The Con Cellar has always been a rich breeding ground for young musicians presenting new work, and - in this spirit - presents new music and projects from each of it's current curators.

Alice Leggett Quartet

Alice Leggett - sax
Rick Simpson - piano
Calum Gourlay - bass
Will Glaser - drums

Saxophonist and composer Alice Leggett (Mark Lockheart's Days on Earth) has established herself as one of the key musicians in the young London scene, and will play new music with her regular Quartet, who showcase creative and modern music with a fondness for the tradition.

George Crowley - saxophone / electronics

A new solo set from George Crowley, whose improvised saxophone / pedals / synth / laptop performances weave together disparate elements of minimalism, loops, warm drones, the percussive side of the saxophone, sunrise ambience and more, with Crowley's native tenor sax as the glue to bind it all together.

Sam Jesson Trio

Sam Jesson - drums
Tom Farmer - bass
George Crowley - sax

While Sam Jesson has been an active force on the London jazz scene for many years now, this trio marks his debut as a leader; together with Empirical's Tom Farmer and George Crowley, they look to build an open and joyful approach to playing music within and outside of the jazz tradition - this gig marks their first performance, and the start of a comprehensive UK tour.

**Please note the Con Cellar is an intimate space; latecomers may have to squeeze and in and might not be guaranteed a seat until the next interval**
