Charlotte Keefe's RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW

Fri 16th Jan | 8:00pm

‘Charlotte Keeffe is one of the most exciting improvisers in the UK, and her shows are in equal parts energetically joyous and delicately moving’ ~ Cheltenham Jazz Festival

Charlotte Keefe - Sound Brushes (trumpet & flugelhorn) + cpmositions

Ashley John Long - double bass

Ben Handysides - drums

Moss Freed - guitar

Charlotte Keeffe’s RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW is a breeding ground for squelchy, sploshy, splashy music-making ~ a space where gestures, textures, colours, and emotions are continuously unearthed! Her passionate approach to freely improvising music has been described by the UK’s biggest selling Jazz magazine, Jazzwise, as ‘avant grade for all!’

Keeffe is inspired by abstract paintings and describes her trumpet and flugelhorn as Sound Brushes. ‘Keeffe shows notable strength of character as she runs the sonic and emotional gamut…’ ~ Kevin Le Gendre, Jazzwise
