Gershwin's Porgy and Bess: Chris Coull Quartet featuring Imogen Ryall
World Heart BeatSW11
Sun 22 Nov15:00
£5
Music
Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess: Chris Coull Quartet featuring Imogen Ryall Book Now Home / Events / Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess: Chris Coull Quartet featuring Imogen Ryall Trumpeter, Arranger & Musical Director Chris Coull presents a bold new jazz suite inspired by George Gershwin’s iconic opera, Porgy and Bess. Featuring award-winning vocalist Imogen Ryall and an all-star rhythm section—John Turville (piano), Simon Thorpe (bass) and Matt Fishwick (drums)—the concert brings fresh life to timeless songs including ‘Summertime, I Loves You Porgy’ and ‘It Ain’t Necessarily So’ narrated and reimagined with hard bop grooves, lush ballads and Latin fire, the performance transports audiences to 1930s Charleston to follow the story of Porgy and Bess. Combining Gershwin’s original spirit with influences from Miles Davis, Gil Evans and Blue Note’s golden era, this is world-class jazz: dynamic, soulful and captivating. Chris Coull Chris Coull has forged a diverse and respected jazz career spanning performance, arranging, education and promotion. Originally from Manchester, he won the YTV Prize for Jazz Arranging before becoming musical director at Doha Jazz during the 2000s. For the past fifteen years he has become a major figure on the Brighton and Hove jazz scene, founding the highly successful Speakeasy Jazz Club and curating the long-running Jazz at St Andrews concert series. Through these platforms he has presented leading UK artists including Clare Martin, Tony Kofi and Alan Barnes, alongside internationally renowned guests such as Ralph Moore and Howard Alden. As both trumpeter and arranger, Coull combines lyrical playing with the traditions and language of the great lineage of post-bop jazz trumpeters. “Chris Coull and the Rebirth Octet’s rendition of Miles Davis’ 1957 album ‘Birth of the Cool’ is far from just a note-for-note recreation.” Ivan Hewett – Daily Telegraph. Imogen Ryall — Vocals Imogen Ryall is a compelling vocalist celebrated for her expressive delivery, clear tone and emotional honesty. Her performances balance warmth, subtlety and strength, creating an immediate connection with audiences. Equally at home in intimate acoustic settings and larger contemporary jazz arrangements, Ryall brings nuance, clarity and theatrical instinct to every performance. Her growing reputation as one of the UK’s most engaging vocal talents is built on musical sensitivity, professionalism and a distinctive interpretive voice.

January Blues Festival: Eric Bibb
Union ChapelN1
Sat 23 Jan19:00
£35
Music
JANUARY BLUES FESTIVAL 2027 presents ERIC BIBB + special guests: TBC The January Blues Festival celebrates it's 10th anniversary year with the welcome return of bluesman Eric Bibb. With a career spanning five decades, over forty albums, three Grammy nominations, a multitude of Blues Foundation awards and countless more accolades, Eric Bibb has secured his legacy as a legendary figure in the blues and roots genre. Born into a lineage of activism, Eric's father, the late Leon Bibb, was a key figure in the civil rights movement, marching alongside Dr. Martin Luther King. Immersed in the Village folk scene during his youth, Eric Bibb found inspiration in the visits of luminaries like Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, and Pete Seeger. Influenced deeply by the sounds of Odetta, Richie Havens, and Taj Mahal, he synthesized these elements into a style uniquely his own. Beyond conventional genres, Eric Bibb is labeled a bluesman, but he defies categorization, seamlessly sliding between musical realms. Grounded in the folk and blues tradition with contemporary sensibilities, Bibb's music reflects his thoughts on current world events and his own lived experiences, whilst remaining entertaining, uplifting, inspirational and relevant. Bibb's catalogue is now over 40 albums strong. His 2024 album In The Real World, recorded at Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios received critical acclaim. Eric Bibb is more than a blues troubadour; he is a storyteller and philosopher. His legacy is not just in the notes he plays or the stages he graces but in the questions he poses and the hope he instills. Make your dinner reservation to eat at our Margins Cafe before the show!
