Ankora
Pizza Express Jazz Club, W1D 3RW , [Venue Details]Instrumental octet Ankora draw inspiration from the legacies of Freddie Hubbard, Herbie Hancock, Joe Henderson and Wayne Shorter, and the contemporary mastery of Esperanza Spalding, Geri Allen, Jeff ‘Tain’ Watts and Kenny Kirkland, to deliver a spirited show of largely original music.
Shaped by their years of mentoring from London’s much-celebrated talent development organisation Tomorrow’s Warriors, Ankora seek to remain connected to their roots, while allowing composition and improvisation to lead them to places of hopeful newness. They are delighted to make their debut performance at PizzaExpress Live Soho.
Ankora is a London based, eight-piece ensemble composed of Kezia Abuoma, Tami Adebanjo, Keira Chakraborty, Hannah Clifton, Klara Devlin, Aleks Dimitrova, Miranda Radford and Mali Sheard. Meeting at the hailed music organisation ‘Tomorrow’s Warriors’, these ambitious young musicians were previously selected to perform as the band ‘Tomorrow’s Warriors Frontline’, under the tutelage of acclaimed drummer and composer, Romarna Campbell. Ankora is the exciting new step the ensemble are taking to launch into the London jazz scene.
The name ‘Ankora’ is derived from the Latin word for ‘anchor’ (anchora): a symbol of groundedness, hope and a connection to roots. These connotations are expressed through their repertoire of both originals and covers of powerful jazz tunes.
