| OK, you have been warned, this could be the night the Vortex finally reinvents itself as a rock venue to rival any Barfly or Carling Academy with this triple bill of top notch noise jazz merchants. Headlined by Mr Bungle-style singer Andrew Plummer’s fearlessly irreverent band WSR, it’ll be the deathly slabs of guitar and mind-splitting rhythms of Bilbao Syndrome – featuring guitar guru Chris Sharkey and the equally brilliant piano playing of Matthew Bourne – that will be the toughest act to follow. Opening are the wonderfully cheeky Minghe Morte (the original death jazz band as they are named after a saucy Transylvanian curse) whose manic thrash and maniacal riffing will either get you going, or running for the exit. Our advice is stick around this will be fun. | ||

The Vortex Jazz Club – a year after successfully relocating from Stoke Newington to Dalston - has gone from strength to strength, becoming part of the cultural hub in central Hackney. While the atmosphere and attitude of London’s famous “listening jazz venue” have been maintained with a smart and stylish interior, the consistency and quality of the music remains extremely high, with monthly appearances by the UK’s most acclaimed and cutting edge artists such as Evan Parker, Django Bates, Dame Cleo Laine and many more alongside prestigious international artists such as Tim Berne and Jerry Bergonzi. Everyone that plays there values both the environment and audience who come prepared to be challenged as well as entertained. With the rejuvenation of the square that the venue overlooks underway and with plans to add a record shop and even to record gigs for sale via download, the Vortex is leading the way as London’s most progressive jazz venue.
