Firstly, The Spin would like to thank EVERYONE that has supported the club through 2025 and has kept it thriving and happening! Please continue to be a part of this, to keep it a place where the best musicians – from the UK and beyond – clamour to come and perform!…which brings us to the last gig of the year: a ‘supergroup celebration’ with this jazztastic outfit!

We welcome back to The Spin one of the most engaging trumpet players that the club has ever hosted: Paul Jordanous! 

A regular on the Jazz, Funk, Pop and Soul scenes for the last 20 years, Paul has recorded on over 100 releases, including his own critically acclaimed debut album ‘And Now I Know’.

We welcome to The Spin the extraordinarily talented trumpeter, Alexandra Ridout with her band from New York!

Alex won the BBC Young Jazz Musician of the Year in 2016 and ever since, her star has been meteorically rising. She has now won numerous awards, including most recently, the ‘Next Jazz Legacy 2025 Award through New Music USA’.

We welcome back to The Spin, the UK’s hardest-working jazz musician – who also happens to be widely recognised as one of the greatest guitar players, the UK has ever produced: Nigel Price!

This has been too long coming: our welcoming back to The Spin of the MOBO-nominated, multi-BBC Jazz and Parliamentary Jazz Awards winner Tony Kofi with this hip and happening band, ‘Sharp Little Bones’! 

A veritable super-group here, fronted by one of the most brilliant, versatile, virtuosic  and appealing saxophonists on the planet: Paul Booth.

The Spin welcomes back one of the most exciting and original guitarists in the country with his stellar line up of players that form the band ‘Dreamweavers’.

The Spin is truly delighted to welcome back to the club the most rapidly ascending star on the UK jazz scene for many a decade!

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 welcomes back the much-loved, brilliant saxophonist, Art Themen!

Themen is still absolutely at the top of his game having had a full-on career, much of it spent with Britain’s national treasure pianist, Stan Tracey. With Tracey, Themen toured all over the world and recorded on arguably the U.K.’s most cherished jazz album, ‘Under Milk Wood’.

We bring you an outfit that The Guardian described as a “UK-based group presenting vibrant European Contemporary Jazz, played by a quartet of superb musicians…”

The leader and composer is tenor and soprano saxophonist Jon Lloyd, turning his attention now to European contemporary jazz using classical and non-western music influences (as well as jazz sources) to write vibrant, melodic and emotionally direct new jazz compositions.

We present a quintet led by the brilliant bassist, Dave Jones. Beyond being a great bass player, Dave is a seriously-respected all round musician whose work encompasses band-leading, composing and high-level education. London Jazz News has written:

“Dave’s writing is sophisticated and nuanced. Just when you think you know where he’s going, there is a change of texture or tempo, you do find yourself in an unexpected place and…it’s beautiful!!”
