10th September 2018: Partisans are back – Recording new album at Vortex in London – 25th/26th September

Partisans, who since 1996 have been thrilling audiences the world over with their ferociously energetic performances of tightly knit themes, have been credited with bridging the gap between New York swing, European improv and UK jam, where the combination of each member’s influences feeds a genuine creative spark generating excitement and energy. Co-led by two of the preeminent musicians of their generation, Phil Robson (guitars) and Julian Siegel (tenor sax & bass clarinet), the quartet line-up is completed by Thaddeus Kelly (bass) and Gene Calderazzo (drums). They are widely acknowledged as the godfathers of the new wave of British post-jazz and improv and have outlived many of the bands that have come since their formation. BBC Radio 3 asserts they are “one of the most exciting all star experimental groups in jazz today.”

With years of touring the globe and a cult following in their native UK, where they have played every conceivable venue from backwater pubs to the largest concert halls and festivals, Partisans have released five albums to date including the recent SWAMP which was album of the year in the UK jazz awards.

Later this month the band is back and will be live recording their next album over two consecutive nights at The Vortex Jazz Club in Dalston, London and tickets are now available for both evenings.
