James Holden, Waclaw Zimpel

After 7 long months The Jazz Cafe returns fully seated, socially distanced, seven days a week.

*Please note that downstairs is drinks only.

Synth wizard James Holden and Polish clarinet guru Waclaw Zimpel present their captivating collaboration following the release of their EP Long Weekend.
 
Formed through a highly productive weekend of musical experimentation, they’ve created an expressive, layered and deeply transcendent collection of tracks. Performed live, this hypnotic fusion of lush-sounding productions will have you lost in deep listening.
 
Holden first made his name in the noughties as a DJ, producer and remixer. Zimpel began with formal classical education before entering the world of contemporary free jazz. The pair’s interest in North African and Indian musical traditions, combined with a shared love of all things hypnotic and trancey, is what eventually brought them together.
 
Two like-minded masters of their instrument bringing two disparate worlds together in an explosion of raw musical creativity. An immersive, in-the-moment experience.
