If Acid Jazz night had been your first visit to The Combine, you'd probably think we host live bands here all the time.

The thick sound of the house band that pulsed from the back corner of the room resonated through our huge space with the clarity, confidence, and swagger of owning the damn place. For about 3 hours of a Wednesday night, the band absolutely did.

"Stage" here is a figure of speech. Like the music itself, our bandstand (an office floor by day) is a product of improvisation and passion for a fusion of worlds.

At The Combine, our curators specialize in working with creatives, artists, craftspeople of every stripe to reinvent our simple, flexible environment to fit their needs, whatever that may look like:

This is a quote

Like, "Oh, you need room for a full drum-kit, saxophone, bass and electric guitars, stage piano, mics, amps, monitors, laptops, mixing board, and elbow room for an MC who freestyles with his whole body? Gotchu. We'll get moving these sofas."

The rest falls into place, with startling elegance. This jam night might be a first for many visiting The Combine, but the performers on deck are anything but new to this. They are Zander Miller (alto sax), Steve Henry (keys), Kemy Siala (bass), Salvatore Paradise (guitar), John Kabongo (rap vocals) & Adrian Edwards (drums and band leader).

Half an hour into the night, the event team improvised too, by opening up more office space to accommodate audience members to a view of the band.

Spanning generations, pigmentations, and musical pedigrees, the bandmates seem to gel like one family— both pre-show, as they shot hoops in The Yard before sound check, and over and over again, each time in the set a meaningful smile sparked between one musician and another, together navigating the twisting sonic landscape in a locked-in unit.
