Event Details

At Heart events we are very excited about our new short season of jazz gigs, which we are putting on with Leeds College of Music (Jazz Course).

All the musicians are current students at the College and will be offering an eclectic and stunning selection of jazz, in all its many guises.

The sessions will take place in the Assembly bar and kitchen. Donations on the door, £3/£5 if possible.

For this second gig in the series we have Pure Sketch and Zenith Group.

Pure Sketch are a bebop five piece jazz band that performs a mixture of standard pieces and originals. They are influenced by great musicians like Duke Jordan, Horace Silver and Joe Henderson. Their originals are also inspired by these musicians and hope to transport you back to the same era of music whilst maintaining a fresh outlook.

Samuel Ward- Trumpet Sam Norris- Sax Pete Moorhead- Guitar Callum Quinn- Bass Oli Reeves- Drums

Zenith Group combines heavy, funk-infused groove with the jazz-tinged harmonic sensibility that characterise the flowing and quick-witted improvisational dynamic of this quartet’s burgeoning style. Twisting styles, blurring lines and effecting tones, Zenith Group take a firm hold of the baton passed by contemporary greats including Steve Coleman and Tim Garland, bounding toward their own finish line without looking back.

‘Friday Night Jive’ presents
MALI HAYES
26th April 2019 – Small Seeds, Huddersfield
FREE ENTRY

Mali Hayes is a young singer/song writer based in Manchester/Leeds. Her songs stem from many experiences in her life, taking the audience on journeys with her captivating lyrics, indulging use of harmonies and ambient vibes throughout her music.

Mali’s music is perfumed by the likes of Erykah Badu and Jill Scott, coloured by the likes of Lianne La Havas and India Arie, and flirts with the likes of D’Angelo and Hiatus Kaiyote and Mali continues to experiment incorporating different elements of musical styles into her songs. After studying Popular Music (BA) at Leeds College of Music, it has given Mali the opportunity to work with many different musicians, singers and producers which gave her the opportunity to define her sound and find herself as an artist as well as performing backing vocals for the likes of JP Cooper (Island Records) and THE Tito Jackson!

“I was fortunate enough to play demo’s on my shows here at the BBC by Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen, Erykah Badu and Jill Scott. All premiers. And this is another one I think I’m gonna be proud of in a few years. Remember the name, Mali Hayes”
– Gilles Peterson, BBC 6 Music

‘A really great new British female vocalist from Manchester..
She’s got a real un-flashy kind of approach which I really like. Kind of a milder Jill Scott / Erykah Badu, definitely one to watch. We’ll be hearing a lot more from her I’m sure!”
– Jamie Cullum, BBC Radio 2

It’s so convenient these days to introduce a new talent by comparing them with other ‘similar’ established artists, somewhere in the same zone of musical ability.
To play that lazy game would do a great disservice to this wonderful new artist.
Great singers capture the true beat of a heart, the stillness in the air, the scent on breeze or how dark and deep the night seems.
Mali’s pure, simple, mellifluous voice is able to do this and at her tender age the best is yet to come. Mali’s supple voice floats over the brilliantly apt musical arrangements, flowing and ebbing, gently twisting through her songs. It’s a blissful experience!
– Elliot Rashman (Ex Simply Red Manager)
