Doors / 7:00pm
Celebrating the Jazz Clubs
A double bill at London's famous Green Note, featuring the uniquely hypnotic sounds of Ruth Goller's Skylla, plus a solo set from the extraordinary singer and cellist Midori Jaeger.
Ruth Goller’s SKYLLA
'SKYLLA' is the solo project of composer and bassist Ruth Goller (Melt Yourself Down, Rokia Traore, Sam Amidon, Vula Viel) - featuring herself on bass guitar and vocals, as well as featuring outstanding UK vocalists Lauren Kinsella (Snowpoet) and Alice Grant (Matthew Herbert). The music takes inspirations from Bulgarian folk song, to Free Jazz, to 'Joyce' to the Italian Alps from where she hails - with bewitching compositions, featuring bass guitar harmonics in different tuning systems sparkling underneath other-worldly polyphonic songs.
‘SKYLLA' takes after the mythical three-headed sea monster of the same name, their music is both mysterious and arresting - in it’s own intimate and unique way.
“Lush textures to bath in” Cory Mwamba, BBC Radio 3 “A rounded tone and springing attack that constantly underpins the musical shape and character, a deep experience” - John Fordham, The Guardian

Midori Jaeger
Midori is a cellist, singer, composer and multi-instrumentalist whose music confronts difference, embraces the unexpected and celebrates the idiosyncrasies that make us inherently human.
Midori’s multi-genre musicianship has led her to perform with jazz, folk, western classical and Indian classical artists around Europe. Midori’s single ‘Touch’ was selected by China Moses as Jazz FM’s Late Night Track of the Week and her latest EP gained features from Podcart and RGM Magazine, a live performance on BBC Radio London, and a sold-out Launch show at the Green Note in London.
