Spice Jazz Soho Presents: Jack Williams’ Open Your Mouth!

After 25 years of solid jazz promoting, as founded by Paul Pace, at the Spice of Life Soho, nurturing upcoming talents as well as established masters of the music, the SpiceJazz Team (Tara Minton and Clement Regert) are excited to relocate their acclaimed operation to the well-appointed and stylish music room of Crazy Coqs.

Do you find happy music depressing?

Sad music uplifting?

We’ll play both.

Jack is a pianist and composer who values surprise, adventure, playfulness, and tenderness. In this music, seemingly remote worlds are combined into a curious universe. Jazz, Prog Rock, Djent, classical. Sophisticated harmony, intense rhythms, heavy riffs, heartfelt melody.

Jack recently played in support of legendary jazz guitarist Kurt Rosenwinkel and was featured as composer and soloist in Phil Meadows’ Future Movers project at Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club. He graduated with a Master’s Degree from Trinity Laban Conservatoire, awarded with Distinction.

In his original brand of Jazz, Jack and his band of miscreants juxtapose heavy grooving polyrhythmic riffs with curious speech samples, ear-twisting harmonies and brooding ballads in a programme featuring adventurous original compositions, some of his favourite tunes by his heroes and daredevil improvising.

Expect an adventure that battles between introspection and extroversion, pensiveness and eccentricity. For fans of Tigran Hamasyan, Wayne Shorter, Keith Jarrett, Knower, Peep Show

Line-up:
Jack Williams: Piano
Benjamin Crane: Bass
