D&D'S QUAGLINO’S IN CONVERSATION...

To get the Autumn season of Q Cocktail Club on Thursday nights off to a bang; The Organic Jam will be our resident act for Thursday nights starting from Thursday 11th August to get us warmed up for the start of the new season. We caught up with the man behind The Organic Jam - Carlo Rossi to tell us a bit more about Thursday nights at Quaglino's.

Q: Carlo, you have played at many wonderful parties and events over the years from the China White tent at the Cartier Polo to London Fashion Week . How did you come up with the concept of The Organic Jam?

C: I've always had a love for improvising when it comes to music, art and film. Over the years I’ve spent a lot of time deeply immersed in DJing in the electronic music scene; I became disenchanted with seeing so many live acts perform with one man and a laptop pressing a key once every few minutes and it made me really push my ideas of how live electronic music could be performed while being spontaneous and entertaining at the same time.

I grew up in a jazz club which my parents owned in a sleepy town by the beach and every once in a while one of the greats of jazz would pop through the door and it was here where I fell in love for the first time with musicians creating something totally unique for that one moment in time. Hence the start of The Organic Jam.

Q: Who and what inspires you to create your fun and electric vibe of music?

C: My biggest inspirations come from hearing two or more genres colliding with each other where the music becomes something new. The bands Noze, Matias Aguayo, Audiojack and labels Circus Company and Get Physical Music are doing something really special at the moment as they mix Balkan, Brazilian, African and disco melodies and instrumentation over intricate house rhythms. However I’ve always admired Herbie Hancock,  Thelonious Monk,  Nina Simone, Charles Mingus, Sarah Vaughn and especially Miles Davis as he always made jazz exciting and new. He lead jazz through so many different periods and made albums that really connected with people all over the world.

Q: What attracted you to want to be Quaglino’s resident DJ for Thursday nights?

C: Quaglino's has always had a history of great jazz being played by many of the best jazz players in the UK, numerous being guest musicians from the legendary Ronnie Scotts. Having such a rich history in music as well as being an iconic D&D restaurant designed by the ever-inventive Terence Conran, when I was approached with the concept that they wanted me to take jazz and reinterpret it into a future form I couldn't resist... how could I say 'no'!

Q: What can we expect from The Organic Jam at Quaglino's for the Autumn Season?

C: One of the biggest aspects of what makes The Organic Jam really work is in the quality of the musicians that I’ve been so fortunate to play with. I always wanted to make The Organic Jam a talent pool for the best up and coming jazzers as well as the most prolific musicians working in the UK. This upcoming season at Quaglino's, every week we'll have special guest musicians, many from some of the biggest jazz/electronic bands touring the UK. I look forward to seeing you all there!

The Organic Jam is headed up by established DJ/producer/music director Carlo Rossi, who plans to work with an impressive selection of guest artists over the coming weeks. Already confirmed to appear are trumpet player Ben Edwards (Mark Ronson, Basement Jaxx, Groove Armada), electro-violinist Sarah Mallock (Adele, Madonna, Jay Z, Oasis) and Annie Davies, host and co-ordinator of the legendary Wednesday nights at Ronnie Scott's.

The bar is open until 1am on Monday - Thursday evenings and until 3am on Friday and Saturdays making it the ideal place for a late night drink. For more information on The Organic Jam at Quaglino’s on Thursday nights please contact Georgia on 020 7484 2005 or email georgiaa@dandlondon.com

Somerset House is rocking right now! As well as hosting ground breaking film premiers such as Almodovar's The Skin I Live In' and putting on quality sell-out concerts with the likes of Blondie, Ellie Golding, Aloe Blacc & lamb, we've just been asked to come back next summer for a 2012 residency at Tom Aiken's/Somerset House's latest venture. 

So if you haven't managed to pop down so far please come and see what the hypes been all about. Our last few dates of this year are August 12th and 19th and September 9th - . Every friday the atmosphere even when it's been raining (which has nearly been every one ;) has been beyond amazing.. c'mon sun you can do it!
