Tonight at the LJF the Yellowjackets play Ronnie Scott’s, and Richard Galliano’s stellar La Strada Quintet performing A Tribute to Nino Rota are at the Royal Festival Hall. Young hot shots Partikel play the Spice of Life in a double bill with pianist Benet McLean’s band; Robert Glasper plays Hall One of Kings Place which is now sold out; and new Jazzizit signing Josh Kyle is at Lauderdale House in Highgate. Dennis Rollins’s stimulating Velocity Trio play the Forge in Camden; improv heavyhitters Charles Gayle and Han Bennink play the Vortex in Dalston, and the great duo of Andy Sheppard and John Parricelli are on the bandstand of the 606 in Chelsea. Don’t forget Empirical are at Blackheath; and EST drummer Magnus Öström is at CAMP near Old Street. Check out Ilhan Ersahin’s Nublu club night in the Front Room of the South Bank Centre from 10.30pm, and there’s great jamming at both Charlie Wright’s and in Ronnie Scott’s. – Stephen Graham
