SUMMARY:Maydan Ensemble of the North London Jazz Collective
DESCRIPTION:\nDoors open 7pm, music from 8pm.\n£13 General Admission,
  £10 Earlybird, £5 Student.\n \nThe Maydan Ensemble of the North Lo
 ndon Jazz Collective is a quintet that blends modern jazz with Arabic,
  Anatolian and Persian folk music. Having formed at the start of 2025,
  they have wowed audiences, selling out multiple venues across London,
  including Palestine House and the Green Note, as well as recently hea
 dlining Zeman Festival in Serbia. They are a fully international group
  comprising some of London’s busiest jazz musicians in a unique sett
 ing: - rising star Amena El Adb, the Egyptian singer - acclaimed Irish
 -Iranian jazz guitarist Kourosh Kanani - one the finest Iranian folk m
 usicians in London, Parham Bahadoran on reeds (zurna, duduk and clarin
 et) - Italian-English bassist and stalwart of the London jazz scene Lo
 renzo Morabito (Giacomo Smith, Peter Horsfall, Mark Kavuma etc); - Lon
 doner Robbie Ellison (Steve Fishwick, Frank Basile, etc) on drums.\nTh
 e group explores the intersection of jazz and a bricolage of Middle Ea
 stern musical traditions from two perspectives: that of material from 
 the jazz canon inspired by West Asia; and that of the group's own jazz
 -flavoured arrangements and renditions of Arabic, Anatolian and Persia
 n folk tunes.\n’Maydan’ means ‘town square’ or ‘public meeti
 ng-place’. Originating in Farsi, the word now finds usage in Arabic,
  Turkish, Urdu, Georgian and Ukrainian. In taking this name, the group
  recognises first and foremost that diverse musical traditions find co
 mmonality by their grounding in communal life and social practice, whi
 le embracing the subversive political potential of music as a collecti
 ve, convivial act.\nAbout the North London Jazz Collective: The NLJC i

 utput explores all things from trad and gypsy jazz, swing and bebop to
