The classic easy Sunday morning is coming to Ironworks. Come and enjoy tea or coffee while listening to some of the best jazz musicians around.
Our top-notch rhythm section(Joss Peach-piano, Terry Pack-bass, Milo Fell -drums) will be backing hand-picked fantastic guest artists each month.
This month's guest artist is Josephine Davies-
Winner of the 2019 Parliamentary Award ‘Jazz Instrumentalist of the year’, Josephine Davies is a musical artist at the forefront of the UK contemporary music scene, pushing the boundaries of jazz with her current main artistic project Satori – a sax/bass/drums trio with an emphasis on extended and collaborative improvisation. Their fourth album, ‘Weatherwards’, features guest artist Alcyona Mick on piano, and was released in October last year to great critical acclaim. It was inspired by Josephine’s birthplace in the Shetland Islands, and is deeply evocative of that wild and windswept land.As a saxophonist she is known for her melodic focus, versatility and unique style which has been described as “consistently inventive” (Jazzwise Magazine), “strong and authoritative” (The JazzMann) and “with winning immediacy” (MOJO Magazine).
Now becoming equally known as a composer, her unique voice is a blend of classical, jazz and folk music, creating an intensely dynamic sound infused with the Nordic quality of her Shetland roots. Deeply influenced by the American composer Maria Schneider, Josephine was resident composer and tenor player for the London Jazz Orchestra from 2011-2016, and now has her own big band ‘The Enso Ensemble’. Their debut album was released in February this year on Ubuntu Records.
