Jazz breaking news: Courtney Pine, Jazz Jamaica and Brass Jaw hit the Hideaway
Thursday, November 22, 2012
The Hideaway club in Streatham, south-west London rounds out the year in vibrant style with a special Courtney Pine weekend in the pre-Xmas run-up, a return show by club favourites Jazz Jamaica, and a second appearance by Glasgow horn heroes Brass Jaw.
The club, which was awarded Venue Of The Year at the 2011 Parliamentary Jazz Awards, has rapidly become a favourite among both musicians and audiences and expanded in size earlier this year.
Fresh from coming top in the Jazzwise Album of the Year critic’s poll for his ska and reggae-fuelled House Of Legends record, and a barnstorming performance on Jools Holland’s Later… TV show (see video below), Courtney Pine (pictured above) plays his debut at the club on 22-23 December. His band features guitarist Cameron Pierre, steel pan player Samuel Dubois, bassist Vidal Montgomery and drummer Robert Fordjour, and will be playing material from his acclaimed new album.
A new monthly night, Scene and Herd, starts on 13 December focusing on double bills of rising new young jazz talent with tickets priced at just £5 in advance. Forthcoming dates are: Barnaby Dickinson’s London Horns (1 Dec); Jam Session and Jazz Workshop (Back Room, 3,10, 17 Dec); Cuban Hideaway with DJ Rich (Main Room, 3,10,17 Dec); Kai’s cats (1pm 2 Dec); Speakeasy Sunday: Derriere (2 Dec); Jazz Ambassadors with Andrea Vicari (6 Dec); Jo Harman and Company (7 Dec); Brass Jaw (8 Dec); The Jive Aces (9 Dec); Voice (13 Dec); Dan Casimir Trio plus Josh Cleaver and Patrick Johnson Duo (Back Room 13 Dec) Si Cranstoun (14 Dec); Dirty Martinis Xmas Show with Lea DeLaria (15 Dec and 16 Dec lunch); Speakeasy Sunday: Jeremiah Marques and the Blue Aces (16 Dec); Nicola Emmanuelle Xmas Show (20 Dec); Jazz Jamaica (21 Dec); Courtney Pine (22-23 Dec); Janette Mason’s Soul Street NYE Party (31 Dec).
