15th Nov Hoxton West Organ Trio
Playing a powerful mix of vintage funk, soul-drenched grooves, blues driven tunes by the funky Stevie Watts funky soul jazz Hammond organ. Featuring Olly Knight Smith (guitar) and Oscar Reynolds (drums)
Atmospherica and lyrical experimentalism with contemporary moods is one way to define Owen Snider's exploratory combo. Guitar and tenor combine to create an aura of oblique jazz shadows. There's a sense of a way-out Wayne Shorter at his most searching, but also a contemporary jazz vocabulary that features deeply thought-out expressionism within the realm of improvised music. Owen Snider's group is reaching out to bold landscape of new jazz that isn't shy of taking the medium to new, untried boundaries. Prepare to have your jazz minds taken over.

22 Nov "Simon Woolf's Jazz Cello Quartet"

Sharing the spotlight will be Ray Gelato's star tenor sax man Olly Wilby with backing provided by two leading lights of the vibrant Brighton jazz scene, Terry Seabrook on organ and rising star Joe Edwards on drums.
8th Nov Nat Steele Quartet
Occupying that modernist jazz space somewhere between the Modern Jazz Quartet's intricate tonal lyricism and the swinging moods of a West Coast vibe, Nat Steele re-introduces the cool jazz-cum-chamber jazz situation. Long, unbroken lines of vibraphonic virtuosity accompany his repertoire's pulsating and swingin' late '50s-influenced orientation. He'll be laying on the hip cuts from his new album "Afternoon In Paris: The Music of John Lewis & The MJQ". Prepare to have your chilled minds blown as Jazztrain Shoreditch and Nat Steele take you on a deeply swung Sunday.
Vakirau 13th Dec
The Hoxton West Organ Combo is a groovy affair. Dusty sounds take on a wholesome repertoire that includes funky jazz, vintage Brazil and lilting standards. Prepare to be enveloped by the aural scatter cushion that is this combo's mood – big vintage tones and deeply dug melodicism will keep your Sunday chilled and interesting. Swing on by for a different vibration.
Owen Snider Quartet Nov 29
Little Big Horn Dec 6th
Stevie Watts Organ Trio Jan 10th
With horns reminiscent of '70s US cop shows (think of that fella Cannon), and percussion grooves hot from Latin American jams, VAKIRAU bring on the tasty combination. Jazzified and intricated piano, mellifluous horns and woody beats make for a driving hybrid jazz sound that's fresh on the ears and big on bandwidth. VARIKAU will have your jazz senses well and truly zapped at Jazztrain as their bold, expansive brass n' percussion cut through the Sunday late afternoon airwaves. Stand by as a piece of Cuba swings by via Shoreditch.
