A double bill with two exciting bands from the London jazz scene featuring psychedelic and experimental sounds from Valia Calda and Maddalena Ghezzi’s trio at Paper Dress Vintage.
Reflecting on the contemporary yet timeless struggles of physical and ideological displacement, Valia Calda’s music draws inspiration from the themes of migration and exile. The group emerged into the London jazz scene in 2013, led by guitarist Nikos Ziarkas and Thodoris Ziarkas. Their music is rooted in the folk music of Epirus, Greece and psychedelic jazz, which also tangles with punk inspired guitar riffs and modal improvisations.
Sam Warner - trumpet/flugelhorn
James Allsopp - tenor saxophone
Nikos Ziarkas - guitar/electronics
Gaspar Sena - drums
Thodoris Ziarkas - double bass
Emerald with Maria Chiara Argirò (Innovative Leisure) and Dolomite with Ruth Goller (International Anthem) are the most recent releases part of Maddalena Ghezzi’s series Minerals. At the Paper Dress Vintage Emerald “delicate world in osmosis with nature and humans” is meeting Dolomite “quixotic moments” in a trio concert that will see Ghezzi, Goller and Argirò merging the two works.
