Tony Kofi will be performing at the Vortex Jazz Club in London on July 18, 2026. Kofi is a highly regarded British jazz saxophonist known for his versatility across multiple subgenres, prominently hard bop, post-bop, and Afro-Cuban jazz. His work frequently incorporates elements of spiritual jazz and showcases a strong improvisational approach rooted in the traditions of artists like Sonny Rollins and Dexter Gordon, while also demonstrating a contemporary sensibility. He often leads ensembles featuring both original compositions and interpretations of classic jazz standards.

The Vortex Jazz Club, located in Dalston, London, has been a central hub for jazz music since its founding in 1988. Originally established as a cooperative by musicians, it quickly gained recognition for its commitment to showcasing both established names and emerging talent within the UK and international jazz scenes. The club is known for its intimate atmosphere and dedication to acoustic sound quality. It has hosted numerous influential jazz musicians over the years and continues to operate as an independent venue dedicated to live jazz performance and education. The venue underwent relocation in 2017 to its current premises on Church Street following a fire at its original location, but maintained its core values throughout the transition.
