Friday Night Live

Described as “A band about to make its mark on UK Jazz”, The Jack Pearce Quintet showcases Jack’s original compositions that pay homage to jazz traditions while injecting a fresh, inventive spirit. A band of Leeds Conservatoire Alumni, the Jack Pearce Quintet focuses on a fusion of melodic and technical excellence.

Drawing influence from Post-bop and 90s world fusion, the original compositions have a uniquely open and interactive approach. The bands strength is particularly apparent in a live setting where countless hours have been dedicated to every facet of the music, then refined on the stage, culminating in an exciting musical experience.

Strong rhythms underpin vibrant, playful melodies creating a fusion complimentary to both traditional and modern jazz. Coming off the success of their first UK tour, the Jack Pearce Quintet are quickly building a reputation as a band to watch on the UK jazz scene.

KEDU: Kedu’ is a 6 piece group formed in London that combines West African music with Jazz. Drawing influence from Ghanaian highlife, Mandé griots and rumba, this group fuses intensive rhythms and grooves with melodic storytelling and improvisation, and are playing their first shows before heading on tour around the UK in 2026. Lead by Congolese Guitarist and vocalist ‘Daniel Ndaty’ and percussionist ‘Paddy Davies’, this band is backed by some of London’s most exciting new jazz musicians: Joseph Bazalgette on flute, Dom Howard on Electric Guitar, George Balmont on Bass, Simon Spies on Drum kit.
