After 25 years of solid jazz promoting, as founded by Paul Pace, at the Spice of Life Soho, nurturing upcoming talents as well as established masters of the music, the SpiceJazz Team (Tara Minton and Clement Regert) are excited to relocate their acclaimed operation to the well-appointed and stylish music room of Crazy Coqs.
French-Italian pianist and composer Milena Granci brings her musical voice to the stage for the launch of her debut album, “To Some Place New”.
Blending jazz with folk and cinematic influences, her music unfolds into an emotionally rich and immersive sound world.
Having performed at acclaimed venues including Pizza Express Jazz Club, the Vortex Jazz Club, and the EFG London Jazz Festival, Milena now reunites her band for a special evening celebrating this new release. Moving beyond traditional jazz forms, the music flows through lyrical, wordless melodies and richly layered harmonies, inviting listeners through introspective, melancholic, and ultimately uplifting landscapes.
Line up:
Milena Granci: piano, compositions
Becca Wilkins: vocals
Harry Toulson: alto sax
James Pettinger: accordion
Ali Watson: double bass
Ollie Peszynski: drums
“Incredible control of pianist Milena Granci!” — Backseatmafia.com
“Granci’s piano is crystal clear, but never cold. It’s breathing sound. The first impressions of the album speak of a delicate, introspective and refined work. This is not an immediate album, but a project that takes time. Its strength lies precisely in its ability to sediment, to reveal itself progressively.” — Jazz in Family
