An electro-acoustic club night featuring The Apples, a funk, jazz, scratch band from Israel and the JCC's own new work, Chagall Illuminated. The Apples who sold out and ripped up the Jazz's Café earlier this year in their first London visit include four horns, two djs, double bass, drums and a MixMonster. In Chagall Illuminated, animators, including BAFTA-award winning Asaf Agranit and Your Mum, unleash a landscape in which the Stetl in Vitebsk metamorphoses into a rainbow hued metropolis populated with floating lovers and falling fiddlers, donkeys, dogs and cats...

Napoleon Maddox is a rare and undefinable talent - beatboxer, rapper, singer, songwriter, teacher and broadcaster. He's worked with Karsh Kale, Burnt Sugar, Hamid Drake and Roy Nathanson, and creates a wildly original mix of hip hop acoustic jazz, from Duke Ellington to Outkast. Featuring avant-jazz hero, the World Saxophone Quartet's Oliver Lake, his band Is What?! is provocative music for today.

LA’s Aloe Blacc has emerged from the hugely successful Stones Throw label that is home to underground legends including Madlib and J Dilla. Gilles Peterson described his recent album ‘Shine Through’ as “brilliant”, which is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to his critical acclaim. Expect Latin tinged hip-hop delivered in both Spanish and English plus live trumpet from a wildly charismatic underground hero.

On the decks for the night BBE's Jesper Christiansen will deliver a blinding Jazz-Set with one common denominator: Good Taste.

With more aliases than Jason Bourne, Mr Tom Middleton has been making under many monikers for more than 10 years... Global Collumincation, Jedi Knights, The Modwheel, Cosmos, Chameleon and more recently AMBA, Tom goes back to his roots, his ties with The Big Chill empire and the name that his mother gave him for his new album "Lifetracks".

Dylan Howe, acclaimed Jazz Drummer and leader of the Subterraneans presents a night of two classic David Bowie albums re-imagined and reinterpreted for the London Jazz Festival. With a plethora of very special guests helping Howe to capture these seminal albums including The Stranglers' Hugh Cornwell on vocals and Portishead's Adrian Utley on the guitar and electronics. With a visual feast provided by the artist Peter Blake, the night will be an experience to remember.
