The Spin is truly delighted to welcome back to the club the most rapidly ascending star on the UK jazz scene for many a decade!
Saxophonist Emma Rawicz, at the age of 22, has already released two critically-acclaimed albums of original compositions, has toured all over Europe and has rightly garnered glowing press from respected national publications and broadcasters. For example:
“An astonishing new talent” (Jamie Cullum – BBC Radio 2)
“A name on everyone’s lips right now” (Julian Joseph – J to Z BBC Radio 3)
“With ‘Chroma’ young British jazz star Emma Rawicz is taking admirable risks and continuing her warp-speed evolution. ★★★★” (John Fordham – The Guardian)
Emma’s outstanding musical qualities have attracted stellar musicians to work alongside her, such as Spin favourites, guitarists Ant Law and David Preston. Since last year’s London Jazz Festival, Emma has been working with super-star pianist Gwilym Simcock (of Pat Metheny’s group!)...
Emma is bringing her brilliant fare to the Spin with this outstanding band of players:
David Preston ~ guitar (the brilliant guitarist who has worked with Melody Gardot, David Binney, Eska, Gary Husband, Lianne La Havas etc..)
Kevin Glasgow ~ bass (extraordinarily virtuosic player - recently heard at The Spin with Nick Meier’s ‘World Group')
Asaf Sirkis ~ drums (where to start? - has worked with: Tim Garland, Soft Machine, Kenny Wheeler, Andy Sheppard, Gary Husband, John Abercrombie etc. etc.)
This is Emma’s working and touring outfit, so be prepared for a night of stunning ensemble playing from this constellation. This gig promises to be a Spin highlight, without a doubt! It will come as no surprise for you to read that this will sell out quickly….so folks, don’t miss out: book NOW!!
Returns Policy:
If you have purchased tickets for the show but can no longer attend, contact us via the form on the website or email info@spinjazz.com, we will happily refund you if the show is sold out and we are able to re-sell the ticket.
A note about the venue:
- The bar at Tap Social is card payment only.
- We seat people as much as possible on a ‘first come, first served’ basis. This means that those who buy tickets first are allocated the better seats (as opposed to that allocation being for those that show up first on the night)…so, BOOK NOW (and also save money on ticket prices with our early bird deal)!!
- We are ready to support people who have additional accessibility needs, please let us know in advance via the contact form in order for our team of volunteers to design the assigned seating plan to accommodate you.

Over the last 20+ years, The Spin has presented live music of the highest calibre within the broad 'contemporary jazz' genre, creating scintillating nights out for anybody with a taste for interesting, exciting, alluring and luscious music.
At The Spin, we believe that our events should be accessible to all, as well as affordable. This, in part, is only made possible with the help of our team of generous volunteers, who volunteer not only their time but also their expertise towards making our gigs the success that they are.
Every musician who plays at The Spin gets properly paid - and it is through your ticket purchases alone that we can do that. Our events are run on a tight budget to keep ticket prices down; we realise that not everyone can afford or may be willing to pay for higher ticket prices. However, for those of you who are happy to pay a little more and contribute further to the efforts of The Spin, we are giving you the opportunity to ’support the club' by making a voluntary contribution on top of your ticket price. These donations will be greatly appreciated and will help us to continue putting on our fantastic live jazz events.
