Oil Arlotto headed up a great house band for the Wednesday just gone!
We were joined by Ian Da Preda on Vibraphone, Alessio Barelli on Drums, Luca Faraone on Guitar and Johan Hansen on bass.
Johan was also testing out some new gear (ATS bass amp) brought over from Italy by Francesco Milazzo…. sounded great !
Stay tuned for details and videos for next week’s Horton jam !
So last Wednesday we did something different. we warmed up the Jam with a Rock pop set of Basterminds Songs. Trust me we were rocking out:
Then after his set Aliocha Thevenet, Andy Wilder, Mike Rowland, Joe Erber and Samer Sharawi opened the Jam with a Hard hitting fusion tune.
Join us again for more Jazz fusion, and funky vibes Next week at the Hoxton Jam:
(p.s. Next week we have a guest Vibraphone player !)
Unfortunately the Jam had to be cancelled last night (24th April) as the basement was Flooded! they are repairing it as we speak now …..
Really gutting as we were looking forward to playing with a Vibraphone player !
On the positive side we will be back next week on the 1st May !
Super tight and fusion mad… That’s what happened last Wednesday when we had Kevin Glasgow on bass and Laurie Lowe on drums.
On top of that we had Lyric L hit the Hoxton Jam :
its great to have these top players vist us at the Hoxton jam

What a House band last night!
We had Tomasz Bura and Michel Castellanos from the Fuzz On Jam playing Keys and Drums last Wednesday.

On top of this Johan Hansén-Larson was on bass… and he was on top Form !!! We defo hope to have him back soon !
Next week we Laurie Lowe and Kevin Glasgow on drums & bass….we are so blessed to have some of londons most talented musicians at the Hoxton Jam !!
Fun was had by all at last nights Jam. Especially the house band who attempted Chick Corea’s “Got a Match?” at stupidly fast tempos … i think we just about held it together.
It was great having Marco Quarantotto back on House drums.. he has such a good sense of time and superb dexterity on the kit! its always a bit of challenge keeping up with him! 
Also a massive thanks to Joe Erber for joining us on House Keys last night!
We had some great new faces turn up for the jam last night including Lewis Turner (awesome guitarist currently dabbling in a few west end shows) and David Baker (holding down some nice grooves on bass).
Untill next Wednesday !
Hope everybody is having a great Easter weekend… unfortunately we were all enjoying our chocolate eggs and nearly forgot to update the blog … hence why this post is so late 
Last week had a nice family vibe to it. Gizelle Smith came down to sing, Hugh Richardson, Marcel, Matteo and Jamie come down with their basses, Andy Wilder was on House Drums and a whole load of other regulars also popped in to say hi at the Roadtrip bar.
We are planning on doing some more of Alex’s (our House guitarist) news tunes next week and we also have Joe Erber on house keys (Fresh blood for the house band ! )
catch you next week !
