They’re usually found accompanying the world’s greatest smooth jazz artists when they play at PizzaExpress Live. But both guys have now got smooth jazz chart successes of their own. And last year they sold out two nights in their own right. In fact, there was a waiting list. So be sure that you don’t miss out this time around. And in addition to the music, of course there’s the banter. Which is always ruthless and nonstop. Also playing will be Orefo Orakwue on bass, Westley Joseph on drums, and introducing Simply Red's musical director Ian Kirkham on sax.

Jeremy Sassoon's MOJO 2
Live Music
Around £28

Jeremy Sassoon's MOJO 2

Following the international acclaim and box office success of his show 'MOJO', singer pianist Jeremy Sassoon proudly presents the sequel, 'MOJO 2' covering the music of another 40 iconic Jewish songwriters and artists with his sensational quartet, focusing largely on the vintage era of the 1960's and '70s. The music in MOJO 2 encompasses both A-list artists and the 'unsung heroes': songwriters whose names you might not at first recognise, despite being familiar with all their biggest hits. Music aside, Jeremy's characteristic appeal is down to his fantastic rapport with audiences, his entertaining stories, surprising trivial facts and his penchant for sharing details of his own personal experiences. Be prepared to be spellbound for 90 minutes of great music and fascinating storytelling. Following the international success of his show “MOJO”, singer pianist Jeremy Sassoon proudly presents the sequel, ”MOJO 2” covering the music of another 40 iconic Jewish songwriters and artists, focusing largely on the vintage era of the 1960's and '70s. The musical fare in MOJO 2 encompasses both A-list artists and the 'unsung heroes' and has a more alternative musical edge, featuring jazz and rock legends. Think Stan Getz, Marc Bolan, Marc Knopfler and Mama Cass. He also features some songwriters whose names you might not recognise at first, despite being familiar with all their songs that made such a huge impact in the world of entertainment.

The Brit Funk Association
Live Music
Around £40

The Brit Funk Association

The Brit-Funk Association features a 10 piece collective of musicians from Beggar & Co, Central Line, Hi-Tension and ex-members of Light of the World and Incognito. They perform from each of the band's back catalogue tracks such as Time , Somebody (Help Me Out) , Walking Into Sunshine , Hi-Tension , British Hustle , There's a Reason , I'm So Happy , London Town , Nature Boy , Everyday and some of the great music that inspired them. The new album from BFA will be released in the New Year on Expansion Records. The Brit-Funk genre started in the late 1970's and was a catch-all phrase to describe the distinctive mix of jazz-fusion-funk-disco music being made by UK bands such as Level 42, Light of the World, Freeez, Shakatak, Central Line, Hi-Tension, Morrissey / Mullen, Second Image, Direct Drive, Linx and Incognito. Hi Tension became recognised as the pioneers of British dance music, opening doors for other bands like Light Of the World, Central Line, and Lynx, to name a few. Young up and coming musicians such as Courtney Pine learned their trade and cut their teeth touring with the band. It was a time of excitement and experimentation. A new era. No turning Back. No compromise. Hi Tension kicked open the doors to the UK dance, and made the industry jump and the dance floors shake! The Groove lives on 'Bless The Funk'.
