Samara Featuring Marta Capponi at 606 Club

“Samara” is a six-piece jazz/Latin group which I lead on sax and flute, and suffice it to say we all think the guys in the band are just great! The pianist Neil Angilley has worked with Down to the Bone, Snowboy, & "War of the Worlds", Dill Katz, the bass player is visiting professor at the Guildhall, while Nic France the drummer has played with just about everyone, including Dave Gilmore (Pink Floyd) and Bill Withers. And if all that wasn’t enough watch out for one of Europe’s most impressive Italian-born Brazilian singers, Marta Capponi. The music is an infectious blend of Brazilian Samba, jazz/Latin and Soul, and everyone has a great time!...

“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; “Capponi...knocked out the crowd...easy to see why she is making waves." LondonJazz News
