Past Events
The Spin Jazz Club, Oxford
The Roger Beaujolais Spin Quartet
The Spin is delighted to welcome back after all too long, one of its favourite musicians; Roger has regularly blown away audiences at the Spin, dating back to the club’s very early days.
The Oxley - Meier Guitar Project
The Spin is delighted to welcome back to the OFS, the Oxley - Meier Guitar Project, a year-to-the-day since they filmed their superb ‘lockdown film’, streamed from the OFS to re-open the club after more than a year of Covid-caused closure.
John Law’s Congregation
The Spin has, for some time, been trying to secure a date for this extraordinary musician and his current project, ‘Congregation’; we are truly delighted to be bringing the band to The Spin for this gig.
The Louis Stringer Quartet
Since the reopening of the Spin, post lockdown, the club has been enjoying on many occasions, the inclusion in the house band of the wonderful double bass player, Louis Stringer. For this next gig, we decided to ask Louis to bring his own band of future superstars - hence, we present the Louis Stringer Quartet!
A David Gordon Special
David Gordon has been a Spin favourite for many a year - and with good reason: he is, arguably, one of the most brilliant, inventive and creative pianists one could hope to encounter anywhere! David’s musical career has been - and continues to be - hugely versatile, ranging from performing harpsichord with The English Concert to touring the world with the gypsy-tango band, Zum.
Charged Particles featuring Tod Dickow
The Spin are delighted to be welcoming to the Old Fire Station, the brilliant Californian band (of some 30 years standing!), Charged Particles. For this tour, they are featuring the exceptional tenor saxophonist, Tod Dickow in a set that will celebrate the music of the sax titan, Michael Brecker.
Paul Booth & Ross Stanley w/ The Killer Quartet
The Spin is truly delighted to have been able to book, for the same gig, two of the UK’s busiest and most exciting players: Paul Booth and Ross Stanley. These two have a great working relationship going back some years, and we are further delighted to have for the first time at the club another collaborator of this pair, the incredible drummer, Andrew Bain!
Julian Costello w/ The Spin Band
Julian Costello is one of the UK’s most lyrical and inventive saxophonists. Backing this statement up is this from Jazz In Europe:
" Julian Costello is a sax lyricist, telling his stories of life’s ups and downs with perfect alteration of tone to impart strength, humour and even frailty. This is a great album, strong, tenacious in its quality and simply makes a great listen”
Jonathan Gee w/ The Spin Band
It’s a great pleasure to be able to welcome back to The Spin one of the club’s favourite pianists: Jonathan Gee! Jonathan has been at the forefront of the contemporary jazz scene ever since the ‘Most Promising Newcomer’ was awarded to him by The Guardian/Wire British Jazz Awards in 1991.
Byron Wallen’s Hurricane Bells
The Spin is delighted to welcome back one of the UK’s great trumpeters, Byron Wallen, with a brand new project featuring the cream of the UK's young-generation players.
John Etheridge w/ The Spin Band
The Spin is delighted to announce its first ‘club’ gig at the Old Fire Station.
