Reuben Goldmark, a London-based pianist and composer, was a finalist in the esteemed BBC Young Jazz Musician of the Year competition and his compositions were featured on BBC 4 and BBC Radio 3. He was awarded the Dankworth Prize for Jazz Composition in both 2022 and 2023, making him the first ever back-to-back recipient of the award. As a performer, he has graced numerous prestigious venues across the UK, including select appearances at the Queen Elizabeth Hall as part of the EFG London Jazz Festival, Snape Maltings as part of the Aldeburgh Festival and Saffron Hall. Reuben is a regular presence at many of London’s top jazz clubs, including the legendary Ronnie Scott’s and The Vortex. Roger Kintopf has established himself as an attentive listener and creative designer on the contemporary jazz scene. The Cologne-based double bassist and composer explores musical dialogues between different sonic worlds. His work is characterized by a balance between composition and improvisation. As a sideman, Kintopf has worked with renowned musicians, including Johanna Summer, Kirke Karja, Felix Hauptmann, Leif Berger, Fabian Dudek, Phillip Dornbusch, Christian Lillinger, Kathrin Pechlof, Kit Downes, Achim Kaufmann, Loren Stillman, Cory Smythe, and many more. Andrew Lisle, born and raised in Northumberland (UK) but now based in London, is a multi-directional drummer, and composer. His quick and highly textural playing filled with rhythmic complexity makes him a highly in-demand member of the fertile jazz & improvised music community. In turns both propulsive and abstract, Lisle has worked with many of the leading voices on the UK and European improvised music scene, including: Kit Downes, John Edwards, Alex Ward, Camila Nebbia, Charlotte Keeffe, Tom Challenger, Ab Baars, Rodrigo Amado, John Dikeman, Colin Webster, and many more.
