Alice Zawadzki and Friends

05 Mar 2026 19:30 - 22:00 (Doors open at 19:00)

Alice Zawadzki, a vocalist & violinist with considerable repute as “a genuine original” teams up with two long-term collaborators - sought-after multi-instrumentalist Fred Thomas and award-winning jazz bass player Misha Mullov-Abbado.

Alice is also a songwriter while both Fred and Misha are renowned as composers and arrangers. The empathy and synergy harnessed by them is the result of a decade’s work together. As demonstrated on their acclaimed ECM album ‘Za Górami’, the trio inhabits their own stylistic realm that encompasses Mediterranean folk songs, chamber music and improvisational jazz fused with free flowing interplay and fluid structures to meld a mesmerizing sound.

Alice Zawadzki: vocals & violin Fred Thomas: piano, vielle & percussion, Misha Mullov-Abbado: bass

Denys Baptiste posing with his saxaphone. Three people standing side by side against a dark curtain backdrop. The person on the left wears an olive-green corduroy-style jacket over a dark top. The person in the middle wears a patterned shirt with a red patch design and a red T‑shirt underneath. The person on the right wears a denim shirt layered over another top and a knitted beanie. A dark an atmospheric photo of four people lying on the floor, staring upwards. There is a string of fairy light intertwined around them. A four‑piece jazz group stands in a concrete architectural space. One musician plays a double bass, another holds cymbals, a third stands in the centre, and the fourth plays a trumpet. Sunlight filters through an opening behind them, creating contrast between the warm outdoor light and the cool, shadowed interior. Gwilym Simcock & Friends
