"Alina Bzhezhinska Quartet… throws a spellbinding party to awaken the senses" London Jazz News"…Bzhezhinska shares with Alice (Coltrane) a mastery of the jazz harp." The Times

Internationally renowned Alina Bzhezhinska, one of the leading harpists in the world today, has built a strong reputation for innovation. Having first appeared at Ronnie Scott's in 2018, supporting a sold-out tribute to Alice and John Coltrane by Denys Baptiste Quartet, Bzhezhinska returns in 2022 with new compositions, airing for the first time at her headline show at Ronnie's in March.

Creating a unique sound on the harp, with layered effects and electronics, Bzhezhinska will be supported by music supremo's Mikele Montolli (bass), Joel Prime (percussion) & Adam Teixeira (drums).

Drawing from a variety of influences, including Dorothy Ashby's 'Afro-Harping', Alice Coltrane's spiritual outputs, Joe Henderson's free form jazz experimentation & 90s Acid Jazz and Trip Hop, Bzhezhinska (composer, band leader and founder of the HipHarpCollective) is a one-woman powerhouse on a mission to bring the harp to the fore of contemporary sonics.

Expect to hear the harp as you've never heard it before.

St. Barbe

James Maltby - Guitar Floyer Sydenham - Drums Ed Ireland - Bass

Dissolving the lines between jazz, rock and electronic music, St. Barbe create a rich and expansive sound world fuelled by high-octane improvisation, ethereal textures and complex beats.

"Injecting their brand of jazz with a healthy shot of alternative rock, St. Barbe deliver a slick, fresh take on the genre that brings it straight into the twenty-first century." - guitar.com
