Koko Collective
Alfie's Jazz Club7:15–8pm
This show is on both passes.
Koko Collective bring a full band to the Giants of Bebop stage at Alfie's Jazz Club: horns, rhythm section and real collective energy behind the bebop repertoire, more than one soloist trading the lead across the set. It's a fuller, louder take on the Giants of Bebop format than a lot of the festival's smaller combos — a genuine band sound behind Parker and Monk's language, built for a room that likes its jazz played close and played hard. At Soho Jazz Festival, expect a set that treats bebop as ensemble music as much as a showcase for any one player.
Afternoon and early evening shows, doors from 12:00 to 18:30.
Perched above the bustle of Greek Street, Alfie’s Soho is a private members’ jazz bar hidden in plain sight. Inside, it’s candlelight, curated art, and a grand piano that rarely stays silent. Signature cocktails, including the Soho Vodka Martini, accompany performances from some of Europe’s finest jazz musicians.
Membership or advance reservation only, never walk-in. It does not operate as a restaurant.
A salute to the greats, played by the new: the standards and the language of Parker, Gillespie and Monk, carried by players making their name now. Bebop has Soho in its bones.
