Experience Ricardo Grilli live on July 3rd

Ricardo Grilli will be performing at The Vortex Jazz Club in London on July 3rd, 2026. Grilli is an Italian-born pianist and composer whose work blends elements of post-bop jazz with influences from contemporary classical music and Italian folk traditions. His compositions are often characterized by harmonic complexity, improvisational freedom, and a lyrical melodic sensibility. He frequently leads ensembles featuring both acoustic and electronic instrumentation.

The Vortex Jazz Club, located in Dalston, London, has been a significant venue for jazz music since its founding in 1988 by Eddie Bowl and Frank Mead. Originally established as a musician’s cooperative, it quickly became known for showcasing both established international artists and emerging UK talent. The club has hosted performances by numerous renowned jazz musicians throughout its history, fostering a reputation for high-quality sound and an intimate atmosphere. It relocated to its current premises on Church Street in 2005 after facing closure due to redevelopment plans at its original site. The Vortex operates as a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of live jazz performance and education.
