A double bill with two exciting bands from the London jazz scene featuring psychedelic and experimental sounds from Valia Calda and Maddalena Ghezzi’s trio at Paper Dress Vintage.

1st set: 8.45pm Maddalena Ghezzi, Ruth Goller, Maria Chiara Argirò

2nd set: 9.45pm Valia Calda

Reflecting on the contemporary yet timeless struggles of physical and ideological displacement, Valia Calda’s music draws inspiration from the themes of migration and exile. The group emerged into the London jazz scene in 2013, led by guitarist Nikos Ziarkas and Thodoris Ziarkas. Their music is rooted in the folk music of Epirus, Greece and psychedelic jazz, which also tangles with punk inspired guitar riffs and modal improvisations.

Emerald with Maria Chiara Argirò (Innovative Leisure) and Dolomite with Ruth Goller (International Anthem) are the most recent releases part of Maddalena Ghezzi’s series Minerals. At Paper Dress Vintage Emerald “delicate world in osmosis with nature and humans” is meeting Dolomite “quixotic moments” in a trio concert that will see Ghezzi, Goller and Argirò merging the two works.

I am honoured to be part of this amazing event by live-electronic music wizard Pouya Ehsaei and voice-shifting writer-performer Tara Fatehi.

Join us for our end of year gathering and the launch of From the Lips to the Moon first publication: 'In times of darkness' a journey through poetry, music and illustrations. Expect riveting live music, twisted beats, absurd texts, fierce poetry and hypnotic visuals. Another unique line-up of poets and musicians + hang out time.

FUWAH is a four people band including bass player Luca Pissavini, saxophonist Filippo Cozzi, drummer Fabrizio Carriero and vocalist Maddalena Ghezzi.

At Corte Dei Miracoli they will launch their album CARE, a multifaceted album that aims to explore the different aspects of caring. Hypnotic drum and bass grooves infused with intimate harmonised sax and voice lines are at the core of CARE.

Emerald with Maria Chiara Argirò and Dolomite with Ruth Goller are my most recent releases part of my series Minerals. At the Vortex Emerald “delicate world in osmosis with nature and humans” is meeting Dolomite “quixotic moments” in a trio concert that will see Ruth Goller, Maria Chiara Argirò and me merging the two works.

Sono contentissima di presentare Dolomite a Stanglerhof nelle Dolomiti. Maggiori informazioni e info su come prenotare al link sottostante.

I am delighted to present Dolomite in the Dolomites in a beautiful venue Stanglerhof. You can find more information and how to book at the link below.

Ackerley, Wallace and Ghezzi will present a 1-hour concert featuring compositions by each artist in a song cycle woven with spontaneous interludes as an inquiry into causes and broader social issues such as climate change impact. Ackerley and Ghezzi connected across distances through a mutual friend they found instant commonalities having both worked under the mentorship of NYC vocalist, Sara Serpa. Ackerley and Wallace both have a long standing collaboration in their trio, MAW.

Dolomite is the fifth release of my series Minerals. This work is a collaboration with bassist, vocalist, composer and environmentalist RUTH GOLLER (International Anthem). Both linked to the Dolomites mountain range, we reckon with themes around climate change, nature and healing spaces. This is a water journey through a changing landscape. Dolomite is supported by women hiking brand LaMunt and innovative sustainability project Vaia.

I am excited to join TooSeriouslyCommittedPeople (TSCP) at Hundred Years Gallery.

TSCP is a duo from composers and improvisers Stefano Grasso and Alessio Dal Checco. Both rooted in jazz and active in many different musical situations (from ska to hip hop to afrobeat to radical improvisation), they gather in a shared approach to total music, expressing their love, suffering, gratitude to life. Clashing explosive sounds melting in wavy drones, organic rhythms, whispers from mountains to above. Their first album, Truth Seeker, is out for the experimental italian label Mupe Records (MUPE 004, Oct 22nd 2023).

Inspired by the concept of listening with curiosity and by The Book Of Delights by Ross Gay, I have embarked on a daily listening activity ending on the day of the gig where I'll present my delights alongside TSCP.

Alessio Dal Checco – tenor and soprano saxophones, fxs

Stefano Grasso – drums and cymbals

Recreational Grounds is a reaction to the issues of limits and accessibility of the more typical exhibition spaces in London, with an aim to encourage experimentation and create a dialogue around the alternative presentation of artwork. The project encourages ephemeral approaches to react to the restrictions of creating outdoor site-responsive work for the 48 hour exhibition.

I will be part of a music and dance event alongside amazing musicians: Francis Moore (shakuhachi, flute, bagpipes), Kirke Gross (cello), Emily Shapiro (bass clarinet) and dancers: Laura Doehler, Elisa Vassena, Pepa Ubera.

The event takes place in Wendover House ground floor car park, SE17 2UD.

Recreational Grounds VII will be guest curated by Catherine Long, Jesus Crespo and Dido Hallett, who are all currently undertaking the Turps Studio Painting Programme on the Aylesbury Estate. This will be the seventh event to be held at the carpark and will be the first one held there since the pandemic.

Musicking is the verb for engaging in music, and musicking is a lovely evening curated by musician, curator and radio host Francis Moore.

On the night I will present two solo work-in-progress works: Transitions and Trees/Humans and then I’ll join forces with singer, composer and improviser Miryam Solomon for some duos…I am truly looking forward to it. Come along!

Inspired by the work of organisations like Mutual Mentorship for Musicians and the words of Shanta Nurullah at the latest This Is A Movement talk.

I curated a women composers’ recital at The City Academy Hackney in which I teach singing and lead senior choir.

Among them: Shunaji, Tomeka Reid, Little Simz and more…

I will perform a piece by contemporary vocalist-composer Sara Serpa together with the musicians: Liz Jones, Sophie Ali, Hannah Monkhouse, Meghan Marshall and Harriet Crawford.

The event will be held at the school at 16:30.

Tasos Stamou is an electroacoustic music composer and performer, alternative electronic music instrument maker, tutor and sound technologist. During a decade of sound performances and recordings, Tasos Stamou has developed a unique style of live electroacoustic music composition. Long and continuous pieces are created in situ using a “portable electroacoustic music studio”. His work explores the space between ancient and contemporary transcendental music, using both traditional and advanced media. His gear consists of acoustic (prepared strings, reeds, recorders, objects) and electronic instruments (self-made electronics, modular synthesizer system and live processed feedback loops). Based on sustained tonal textures and free improvised instrumental solos, his live compositions create a particular and unique atmosphere of ritual noise.

At Hundred Years Gallery Ruth Goller and Maddalena Ghezzi are presenting their work inspired by South Tyrol plateau's, Seiser Alm, where Ruth was born and Maddalena has a deep connection to. Using improvisation and video they are aiming to create a sonic map of the Dolomite paths that they have both walked on many times.
