#RecordOfTheWeek:

Round the week off with the sweet tones of Pat Martino’s ‘El Hombre’. His exciting band of organ trio with percussion and flute makes for some very exciting tracks! We particularly love the title track when we put this on at Mabgate.

#RecordOfTheWeek

Check out this album by Bluesiana Triangle. It was Art Blakey's last ever album he recorded and he sure still swings even at 71! It features vocals from Dr. John, it definitely kept spirits up on our road trip to Wales!

As the weather turns rainier, we at Mabgate are trying to keep up the summer vibes with this collection of sultry Afro Cuban tunes by Amara Touré. Hopefully, the weather perks up a little next week for when we play @LJF_jazz !

Swingers band leader part 2. The man behind the videos, on guitar we have Ed Allen! You might have seen him bringing funk and soul to Leeds with Mamilah, or maybe with Long Legged Creatures. Either way you’ll see him tonight for our debut gig at The Domino Club!
