This week’s bill

Tue 28 July — Sat 1 Aug

Tonight:

• Tuesday

  Okonkwo Quartet

  Lagos-born tenor over a rhythm section that plays like weather. The second set goes places the first only points at.

• Wednesday

  Mieke Van Damme solo

  One piano and no setlist. She asks the room for a year, then improvises the whole evening out of it.

  Sold out. The bar side still takes walk-ins at nine.

• Thursday

  The Rail Splitters

  Gypsy swing at reckless tempo, two guitars and a bass in a knife fight with the clock.

  Late set 23:30, half price at the door

• Friday

  Sun Chamber Nonet

  Nine players on a stage built for five. Brass you feel through the floorboards before you hear it.

• Saturday

  Open jam: bring your horn

  The house trio holds the fort until you climb up. Singers after midnight; listeners at the bar, equally admired.
