SUMMARY:Ankora
DESCRIPTION:8-piece ensemble featuring the future stars of British jazz\n\nEight ambitious young musicians that met through Tomorrow’s Warriors – a London-based  artist development organisation – were selected to perform as the Tomorrow’s Warriors Frontline ensemble\, under the direction and tutelage of drummer\, composer and educator Romarna Campbell.  \nAnkora is the exciting new step the ensemble are taking to launch into the London jazz scene. The name is derived from the Latin word for ‘anchor’ (anchora): a symbol of groundedness\, hope and a connection to roots. These connotations are expressed through their repertoire of both originals and covers of powerful jazz tunes. The name links to an alternative meaning in Italian\, ‘again’\, marking the momentum of their rebirth as they continue their musical and artistic journey. \nThe band\, whose average age is just 20\, features 2024 BBC Young Jazz Musician finalist Klara Devlin on trumpet and drummer Miranda Radford\, who both appeared on our stage when Miranda brought her quartet up in February 2025. Mali Sheard (sax)\, Keira Chakraborty (flute)\, Hannah Clifton (trumpet)\, Tami Adebanjo (guitar) Kezia Abouma (piano) and Holly Reinhardt (bass) complete the line-up of exceptional young players at the start of promising careers in the British jazz scene. \nThe band’s influences include the legacies of Freddie Hubbard\, Herbie Hancock\, Joe Henderson and Wayne Shorter\, while branching out to the more contemporary mastery of Esperanza Spalding\, Geri Allen\, Jeff ‘Tain’ Watts and Kenny Kirkland. The ensemble takes inspiration from the spark and power of these jazz legends\, compositionally and in their playing. \nCollectively\, the members of ‘Ankora’ have already made their mark on the jazz scene through performances at venues such as Love Supreme Jazz Festival\, We Out Here\, Cheltenham Jazz Festival\, Dizzy’s Jazz Club (NYC)\, The Vortex\, Brick Lane Jazz Festival and The Jazz Café. Ready for more\, the unique\, powerful voice of the ensemble is excited to embrace the wonder and diversity of today’s jazz scene. \n\n\n\n\nTICKETS\nAdmission for this event is complimentary for Music Spoken Here Club Members. \nNon-members are welcome – just show up and pay £15 cash or card on the door. \nYou can find out more about our admission and membership options at A New Approach
