A true jazz scene veteran barely into his thirties, guitar prodigy Artie Zaitz leads a group of London's most grooving, swinging musicians. This new quartet features BBC Young Musician of the year Deschanel Gordon on Wurlitzer electric piano, and notable youngbloods Lorenzo Morabito on double bass, and Jack Thomas on drums. They will be presenting original music by Artie, as well as other members of The Banger Factory label.
Coming from a family of musicians, Artie was exposed to the sounds of jazz from an early age. He developed a particular interest in recordings from the Blue Note label, which has had a profound influence on material currently performed with his groups.
He has been working and recording on the London and international scene for over a decade with artists such as Moses Boyd, The Banger Factory, Camilla George, Maisha, Theon Cross, Jordan Rakei, and Tom Waters Electric People.
Artie released his debut album The Regulator in 2023 - an exciting, fresh take on the classic organ trio line-up, bringing together his deep blues sensibility and love of jazz, soul, and Latin music. Tonight the trio is converted into a truly funky quartet with the addition of one of the UK’s leading percussionists Dave Pattman on congas.
Tonight’s line-up is: Artie Zaitz (guitar), Ross Stanley (hammond organ), Steve Brown (drums) and Dave Pattman (conga).
This one’s going to involve some serious grooves…
“This band sparks with imagination, rhythmic flair and exuberance... a bluesy triumph”
