The Frank Williams African Jazz Quintet

Hi-Life International, Kintone and Mervyn Africa Quartet.

After a near 10 decade hiatus, organizing and compiling an archive of South African music in exile Frank is back, on fire and sounding better than ever.

As band leader of the Frank Williams African Jazz Quartet, expect to be shaken and well stirred by the Live sounds of South African Township, Jazz, Highlife and beyond.

Sat Jan 29 (1pm-6pm / Free Entry) - The Mighty JOHN ARMSTRONG once again joined by the UK's leading Cuban Son, salsa, and latin jazz band, the tropically superior SARABANDA Live up on The spacious covered / heated Roof. Expect another righteous lunchtime/early afternoon session where we come together, eat, drink and be seriously, joyfully entertained, Free Entry at The CLF Art Lounge & Roof Garden.

Sarabanda are an authentic Cuban Son, salsa, and latin jazz band, based in London

Sarabanda (previously known as Soneando) are usually a five piece band who play Cuban Son and Salsa with a serious groove. Pianist Sara McGuinness sought out musicians with a passion for Cuban music old and new to form the band. The result is a powerful quintet with a far bigger sound.

JOHN ARMSTRONG

An entertainment and copyright litigation lawyer by profession (now retired!), and an across-the-board music lover by passion, John started playing records in and around London in the late 70s, after a Eureka moment at one of the first New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festivals in the mid-70s, from which he returned with interviews from everyone from Allen Toussaint to Betty Carter (many of which were published in the now-defunct Jazz & Blues Review). His first dj residency was at the Belsize Park Town & Country Club (60st & northern), followed by Greek Street’s Beat Route club (jump blues and 40s r&b), and the Whisky-A-Gogo (before it became the Wag).

ACANTHA LANG

Acantha Lang is a soul artist born & raised in New Orleans. She relocated to New York, where she found herself taking the stage at famed NYC's Harlem Grill. From Puffy, Stevie Wonder, and Alicia Keys to the session players that ran with Prince, wrote songs with Jocelyn Brown, and backed Acantha each Monday for her weekly “Monday Night Blues” residency, the Grill was home to the best of Harlem’s soul scene, brimming with community and the culture of Acantha’s hometown.

After moving to London, Lang built a name for herself on the live circuit. Around this time, Robert Randolph (and The Family Band) asked to use her song 'Gonna Be All Right' on his album ‘Got Soul’ which received a Grammy nomination for 'Best Contemporary Blues Album’ in 2017.

She released her debut single ‘He Said/She Said’ in Oct 2020, earning endorsements from legends like Joe Bonamassa, Robert Elms, and noted tastemaker Craig Charles (BBC 6Music / BBC Radio 2) who distinguished Acantha as "brilliant… an independent artist destined for world domination" in a recent interview for Blues & Soul Magazine. Acantha's rousing "He Said/She Said" appears on his recently released compilation album, The Craig Charles Trunk Of Funk Vol. 2, where he notes that it's a track that "...will blow the cobwebs out of your eardrums and leave you breathless and eager for more.”

She has built a dedicated legion of fans online through her "Standing On The Shoulders Of…" series (currently over 1 million cumulative views across Instagram, YouTube and TikTok) in which she covers soul legends of years past, tapping into the innate rhythms of jukebox favorites and teasing out all-new moments of wonder.

Lang released her debut EP ‘Sugar Woman’ (Aug 2021) which includes her take on Nina Simone’s classic, ‘I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free’, after Lang recorded a version for a McDonald's TV Ad in Europe. Her sights are firmly set on completing her debut album for early 2022. Stay up to date at https://acanthalang.com or @acanthalang on IG, Twitter and TikTok.
