Gary Bartz & Your Brother's Keeper

Gary Bartz and London collective Your Brother's Keeper have made a new collaborative album Where Rivers Meet, arriving on Brownswood on the 19th of June.

We are delighted to host their album launch at Church of Sound.At the centre of the project is Bartz, whose career spans more than five decades and includes collaborations with Miles Davis, Charles Mingus, Max Roach and Art Blakey.

Through his work as both a bandleader and sideman, including his influential NTU Troop recordings, he has remained one of the key figures linking successive generations of jazz musicians.Where Rivers Meet also introduces Your Brother's Keeper, a new collective assembled by Jake Long and featuring Al MacSween (piano, synthesizers and modular FX), Axel Kaner-Lidstrom (trumpet), Twm Dylan (double bass), Tim Doyle (percussion) and Chelsea Carmichael (tenor saxophone).

Together, the musicians bring experience from across London's jazz and experimental music scenes, while placing the emphasis firmly on collective expression.An event at St James the Great is expensive and tickets are priced to help us cover costs.
