Having first appeared at Ronnie Scott’s in 2018, supporting a sold-out tribute to Alice and John Coltrane by Denys Baptiste Quartet, Bzhezhinska returns in 2022 with new compositions, having already featured on Gilles Peterson’s BBC Radio 6 show this year.
Drawing from a variety of influences, including Dorothy Ashby’s ‘Afro-Harping’, Alice Coltrane’s spiritual outputs, Joe Henderson’s free form jazz experimentation & 90s Acid Jazz and Trip Hop, Bzhezhinska (composer, band leader and founder of the HipHarpCollective) is a one-woman powerhouse on a mission to bring the harp to the fore of contemporary sonics.
Creating a unique sound on the harp, with layered effects and electronics. Alina & the trio will play 2 sets on the night with the first set starting around 8.30pm.
“…Bzhezhinska shares with Alice (Coltrane) a mastery of the jazz harp.”
