In celebration of the influence that European jazz has had on the global music industry, Actors Church is hosting the London Django Collective to play at the Festival of French Jazz on Sunday 27th November 2022. 

Opening doors at 7.30, audiences are invited to join some of the best players that have been at the forefront of London’s Gypsy Jazz scene perform as part of the Actors’ Church. The Festival of French Jazz was set to host three events showcasing the most influential jazzers of all time, with Sunday’s performance being the third. Featuring musicians such as Django Reinhardt, Richard Galliano, and Stephane Grapelli, the leading British musicians have created a unique and joyous show that compliments the 400 year old acoustics of the ‘Actors’ Church’ perfectly. With its historic association with the theater community of London’s west end, there is no better place to host this musical evening. 

The London Django Collective is known as a collaboration between several of London’s foremost musicians who are all at the top of their field in the genre of ‘Gypsy Jazz’. Regularly selling-out famous venues such as Ronnie Scott’s, these globally toured musicians have created a magical show that showcases the many talents that will be featuring. With a desire to create a community for musicians, The London Django Collective was founded by Django Reinhardt. The evening will feature compositions that take influence from contemporary music and the thriving jazz scene, with added flare and personality. 

After releasing five two-track EP’s, each led by a member of the collective, the collective has an understanding of how to best combine their musicality to create a show that is unmissable. Showcasing their individual take on the vibrant European style of jazz, the last London Django Collective performance at the Actors Church will take place on the 27th November.

The venue was the perfect seductive environment for Ruimy to put on the show she’s been working on for so long and showcase her art.

Among the sea of recognisable guests was Strictly’s Shirley Ballas and businesswoman Caprice Bourett who all stunned in their respective outfits as they enjoyed the night out in London’s West End.

The event was split into two sections – a display of Ruimy’s handpicked jazz covers, and an intense flamenco routine where she was joined by a captivating professional dancer. Her band featured an array of exceptionally talented musicians, with one standout figure (who Ruimy gave a special mention to during her performance) almost stealing the show. Killing Joke’s Youth was one of Ruimy’s guitarists, and it was visible how much Ruimy appreciated his presence, with her declaring “how lucky [she] was” to have such an iconic figure playing for her.  

(Youth has worked with many incredible musicians throughout his career, most notably Sir Paul McCartney. The pair appear together in the experimental The Fireman duo and have released three albums together.)

After an evening of flowing bubbly and Parisian-style canapés, the many guests looked relaxed and happy as they took in their luxurious surroundings. It was an evening of laughter, music, dancing, and enjoying the finer things in life – Ruimy even gifted her admirers with goody bags filled with luxury items from her lifestyle brand Kalmar. Of course, it was not complete without a copy of her ‘Black Coffee’ album.

At the age of 18, Jade left her home of Yorkshire and moved to London to pursue her dream career. She made her mark on the city by opening her own boutiques selling clothes that she designed herself. She gains inspiration for her designs by travelling the world and experiencing new cultures, which has lead to her work being featured in major high street stores.

Her new single ‘Hey Babe’ discusses modern love and the game that men often like to play. Her strong, determined lyrics show her setting her standards straight and not letting anyone tell her what to do. The track features distorted vocals and a soft jazz sound with a subtle hint of pop, perfect for anyone looking for something more laid back. Drawing her inspiration from the likes of Etta James, Grace Jones and Lauren Hill, her catchy melodies and retro sound have solidified her as one to watch in 2021.

‘Hey Babe’ is out now but will be featured on Jade’s upcoming EP ‘Only You’ that will be released through GlaGlaRecords in April this year.
