About this Event

Collecting inspiration from the city’s contemporary jazz scene, the band brings together a wide range of influences and approaches, emphasising collaboration in performance, focused on original music and improvisation.


Featuring Zoe Downs, Alex Handyside, and Finlay Mayers Porras, with special guests, the group gained early attention with a sold-out opening-night performance at the Edinburgh Jazz Festival, performing original music as part of the festival programme. Since then, Milele have continued to develop their sound through live performance, exploring different textures, grooves, and improvised ideas each time they play.


In November 2025, the band performed and recorded at the Soundhouse Winter Jazz Festival in Edinburgh, further establishing themselves in Scotland’s growing jazz scene.


Tonight, Milele will perform a set consisting of original compositions by Ashwari Panesar alongside arrangements of music by artists the band finds particularly inspiring. The music draws from a wide range of contemporary jazz influences, with a focus on improvisation, interaction, and collective energy.
