Samara feat Luna Cohen
“Cracking Latin-jazz quintet led by 606 proprietor Steve Rubie on flute and alto saxophone…explores these Latin jazz classics in great rhythmic style”
Time Out
Following the statement by the Prime Minister yesterday (Monday 16th) the 606 Club, along with the other major Jazz Clubs in London, has today made the difficult decision to temporarily close our doors. Sadly, all shows are postponed until further notice. Please read our blog post for further information.
“SAMARA” is a five-piece jazz/Latin group led by the 606 Club's own "Guv'nor" Steve Rubie on sax and flute, and suffice it to say we all think the guys in the band are just great! The pianist John Crawford has worked with a who's who of international Latin musicians, Andy Lafone, the bass player has worked with Snowboy and Da Lata, while Nic France the drummer has played with just about everyone, including Dave Gilmore (Pink Floyd) and Bill Withers. Luna Cohen is considered to be one of the finest of the new Brazilian vocalists working in Europe, with an unerring gift for melody and phrasing. The music is an infectious blend of Brazilian Samba, jazz/Latin and Soul, and everyone has a great time!
