About this event
Doors 6:45 PM, Music 7:15 PM - 1 set of music Line-up: Noah Ojumu - Drums Klara Devlin - Trumpet Sonny Caplan-Higgs - Alto Saxophone Olivia Hughes - trombone Tom Sheen - Double bass About: Noah Ojumu is a London-based jazz drummer and composer whose quintet is defined by rhythmic melodies and dynamic interplay. For this gig, he's written a brand-new set of music composed specifically with these musicians in mind. His compositions draw on the groove-oriented music he grew up with, merged with a later passion for jazz and the avant-garde, resulting in a vibrant, exploratory sound. Alongside his own project, he has performed with various ensembles, including Koller/Kofi/Gourlay/Ojumu Plays Monk, Mark Kavuma Quartet, and Nu Civilisation Orchestra. Noah’s compositional and improvisational approach has been particularly influenced by the mentorship of Tom Challenger, playing in Challenger’s Brass Mask and Build a Band.
