Past Live Jazz Events
One of the hardest working, most successful (and brilliant) saxophonists in the country revisits The Spin: the amazing Theo Travis with his band, ‘Double Talk’.
The Spin welcomes back one of the most celebrated saxophonists in the UK: Dave O’Higgins. Dave has long been a favourite at The Spin, due to his utterly fluid, inventive and captivating playing.
The Spin brings to the club for the first time as our front-line guest, one of the most brilliant trumpeter’s in the UK, Ryan Quigley! This will be a quartet that also features the outstanding musicianship of Pete Whittaker (Hammond) and Rod Youngs (drums), along with the Spin’s resident guitarist and MC, Pete Oxley.
Following the brilliant quartet of John Law’s Re-Creations, The Spin brings to you another totally top-flight band led by the outstanding drummer Tristan Banks.
Good folks of Spin world, the club turns 25 this month!
On our first ever gig, we featured the mighty Eth…the UK’s No.1 guitar supremo, the axe-wielding wonder of the 6-stringed plank, the fiery phenomenon that is JOHN ETHERIDGE…and John will be back to woo and wow you for this special occasion!
Re-Creations is led by one of the most brilliantly creative musicians on this (or any other) planet: John Law! As a pianist, he is a formidable exponent of pretty much any style you’d care to consider, having been a prize-winning classical pianist as a child, to being one of the leading exponents of contemporary jazz today.
The Spin is thrilled to be able to present to you this exceptional artist with her band of KILLER musicians!
Anglo-American singer songwriter Sarah Gillespie is renowned for mixing elements of jazz, folk & blues with her streetwise poetic lyricism.
It is becoming a bit of a habit to be describing our bands as ‘Supergroups’…and this is no exception! Led by bassist and composer, Ben Crosland, this band features a personnel of the finest players in the UK.
The Spin’s opening gig at its new ‘2nd venue’, featuring the wonderful Mark Lockheart, on the 2nd April was - by all accounts - a great success! As a result of this success, the club has booked a run of Tuesday night gigs at the Summertown Wine Bar to compliment their other nights at Tap Social.
Renowned saxophonist and composer Iain Ballamy leads this supergroup all of whom share a lifelong fascination with the vibrant music of Brazil.
Led by ace vocalist, Peter Jones, Zoöphyte is a band that authentically melds the boundaries between jazz and ‘pop’ - much in the way that Steely Dan (and the great Donald Fagen) has done for so many years!
Welcome to news of The Spin’s 1st gig at its 10th venue, post the pandemic: we bring our vivacious Spin fare to the Summertown Wine Bar on Tuesday, the 2nd April!
