every thursday

Improv Lounge Jam Sessions – live from the basement, every Thursday!

Come along with your instrument (or just yourself) and get stuck into a relaxed night of jamming. Whether you're here to play or just enjoy the tunes, everyone's welcome.

To keep these sessions free to attend, we just ask that you support the night by grabbing a drink or a bite while you're here – every purchase at the bar helps us keep the jams going.

No need to drink alcohol if that's not your thing – we've got loads of soft drinks and some cracking empanadas too.

See you down there!

Experience a night of deep groove, open improvisation, and expansive sonic textures.

The trio of Sheldon Agwu (electric guitar), Max Luthert (upright bass & modular synth), and Yusuf Ahmed (drums & percussion)

Each a standout force in London’s vibrant jazz and experimental scenes, the trio blends rich harmonic and textural landscapes with rhythm-driven interplay and bold spontaneity:

- Sheldon Agwu brings a unique blend of jazz guitar, ambient textures, and electronic influences, known for his genre-defying releases such as Kintsugi and Vtet live at Mu and Seeds of Sanctum.

- Yusuf Ahmed is a versatile drummer and improviser whose playing draws from jazz, afro-funk, and world traditions.

- Max Luthert, one of the UK’s most in-demand bassists, has performed with Nubya Garcia, Zara McFarlane, and Moses Boyd. His playing is fluid, grounded, and deeply expressive.

This one-off trio date at The Muddy Puddle promises boundary-pushing improvisation, lush grooves, and a meeting of minds at the intersection of jazz, ambient, and rhythm exploration.
