The Anthologists

Genre defying jazz-rock improvisers melding 70s psychedelic funk with 21st century Steampunk Jazz.

Compulsory listening for those who like their jazz 'on the rocks'. The Anthologists play a unique blend of film themes, jazz standards, originals, mashups - even drawing on electronica for inspiration - presented in a classic 4 piece combo. Rich Hammond, pianos, overlaid melodious and versatile guitar work over a rock solid rhythm section, this band is both entertaining and challenging to the memory banks - at times you'll know the tunes, others you're just not quite sure...

Eclectic? More like Perfect! This is instrumental music with everything - jazz, rock, groove, dub, cinematic themes, great musicianship and damn good fun! The Anthologists themselves are all experienced rock players, interested in exploring a range of genres, and have created a repertoire of original and semi-original pieces designed to appeal to audiences who a looking for a little more - but like to rock out occasionally!

ANNOUNCEMENTS

The Anthologists + Friends @ the Wilmington Arms

This friday sees the return of the Anthologists to the Wilmington Arms in Clerkenwell, with a change in format - the main set will be at 9PM, and the last set will be a jam set, with a number of special guests joining us on stage. 

For those that don't know the Wilmington, the music room is the back bar, which has a fantastic atmosphere - checkerboard floor, tables, candlelight, great ambience. The front bar is open all day so you can drop by anytime.

JAZZ CLUB NIGHT AT THE WILMINGTON ARMS

A new monthly jazz night is being launched at the Wilmington Arms on Exmouth Market on Thursday 23rd June.

The club night, sponsored by Musicosity, will focus on modern and contemporary jazz. Taking its lead from New York’s 55 Bar, Denver’s Dazzle Lounge, and California’s Charlie O’s, it will bring the hottest new acts on London’s jazz circuit to this central location, right in the heart of Clerkenwell.

Back at the Luna Lounge, Fri 20th May

Hey all - the Luna Lounge has invited us back to play a Friday night slot - 2 sets from 9'ish tonight.
Grab a curry upstairs, grab a beer downstairs, grab an earful of jazzy funky rocky tunes, selected from the Anthologists Anthology. Tonight's set features a few new ones - some film themes you might recognise - but not quite like this! See you there...
