Colin Somervell & AMO Group

Jazzlive@The Crypt · London

This band brings together ideas and people in an attempt to speak with one voice through the language of improvisation, in all its expressions. A collective mind that hears overlapping rhythms and melodies. Influenced by the coloured patchwork of William Parker, the earthly lyricism of Victor Jara, the dark clouds of Morphine and the gentle brilliance of Bill Frisell. Colin Somervell grew up in Chile and studied jazz in Birmingham and London. He has played music from Greece and Turkey, prog-math-rock as well as freely improvised music. Chris Williams: alto sax Mike Soper: trumpet Colin Somervell: double Bass Jay Davis: drums

The Maydan Ensemble of the North London Jazz Collective

Jazzlive@The Crypt · London

The Maydan Ensemble of the North London Jazz Collective is a quintet that blends modern jazz with Arabic, Anatolian and Persian folk music. Having formed at the start of 2025, they have wowed audiences, selling out multiple venues across UK and beyond, including Palestine House and the Green Note, as well as recently headlining Zoot Fest in Pairs, and Zeman World Music Festival in Serbia. They are a fully international group comprising some of London’s busiest jazz musicians in a unique setting: • From Egypt, the rising-star vocalist Amena • Acclaimed Irish-Iranian jazz guitarist Kourosh Kanani • Italian-English bassist and stalwart of the London jazz scene Lorenzo Morabito (Giacomo Smith, Peter Horsfall, Mark Kavuma etc); • Londoner and co-founder of the NLJC, Robbie Ellison on drums. The group explores the intersection of jazz and a bricolage of Middle Eastern musical traditions from two perspectives: that of material from the jazz canon inspired by West Asia; and that of the group's own jazz-flavoured arrangements and renditions of Arabic, Anatolian and Persian folk tunes. ’Maydan’ means ‘town square’ or ‘public meeting-place’. Originating in Farsi, the wor...

Daense

Jazzlive@The Crypt · London

On SATURDAY 14th November we present Daense. Daense is a Brussels based band exploring the density of colours and sounds found in music while focusing on the dancing desires encountered when hearing a good groove, bass line or guitar riff. Although the five musicians of the band have different musical backgrounds they share a love in common for funk, soul, rnb, jazz and jazz fusion. The compositions they play reflect those influences while bringing a contemporary touch. With Olivier Penu on drums, Federico Pecoraro on bass, Lorenzo Kobina. on keys, Florent Jeunieaux on guitar and Arnaud Guichard on tenor sax. We are pleased to welcome back Arnaud Guichard who will be familiar to Crypt regulars. When resident in London Arnaud led our monthly jam session, dazzled us on many occasions with bands that featured his own compositions, and has continued to bring outstanding ensemble to the Crypt since moving back to Belgium. We are glad to have him back, and his group, for this special concert.

FIND JOY

West Hampstead Arts Club · London

find-joy are an alternative indie band from North County Dublin. The group released their latest single ‘Departed’ off their sophomore EP earlier this month. The track was produced by the group’s guitarist Mark Allidine and was recorded over a number of sessions in various home studios. ‘Departed’ showcases a strong bass groove and synth melodies from Oscar Kelly which combine with the drums to produce a driving rhythmic feel. The chorus features an explosion of width and a rather catchy vocal hook from singers Tadhg Kelly and Colleen Conlon. The track is noticeably different from Peptides, the first single from the EP while still maintaining many familiar find-joy elements. “Departed is a song about infatuation. The all encompassing feeling of the start of a romantic interest. It’s a certain kind of feeling that I feel is as relatable as it is bitter sweet” says Tadhg about the new single. ‘Departed’ was mastered by Tom Woodhead in his studio Hippocratic, in West Yorkshire. Tom has worked notably with Status Quo, English Teacher and Gerry Cinnamon to name a few. Known for their energetic live shows, find-joy have performed twice at Whelan’s Ones to Watch, Gol...
