Jazz at Trades, London Jazz Festival Special

Walthamstow's premier jazz night featuring London and the UK's finest musicians presents a London Jazz Festival special.

The Reiss Ellis Beckles Group is a contemporary jazz quintet bringing together five distinctive voices on the UK jazz scene: Reiss Ellis Beckles (alto saxophone), Billy Marrows (guitar), Rowan Hudson (piano), Tom Rivière (double bass) and George Grundy (drum kit). Led by Beckles? expressive and searching sound, the group explores original music that balances lyricism with rhythmic intensity.

In 2024 they released their debut album Worlds Apart, followed by a UK tour that introduced their music to audiences across the country. Their recent collaboration with Finnish vocalist Dea Juris further highlighted their versatility and adventurous spirit, cementing the ensemble?s reputation for creativity, energy and a fresh perspective on contemporary jazz.

Our two tier pricing system aims to strike a balance between making our event accessible for all, whilst trying to ensure we can pay the musicians a fair wage for their performance. Please consider paying the full ticket price of £10 if you can, to help support our musicians and help to cover the costs involved in running the night.

Another evening not to be missed, we hope you can join us! Doors at 7pm, music from 8pm
