Oldham Coliseum Theatre bring Manchester Jazz Festival to Whittles Oldham.VIPERTIME Featuring Troy Osmond
Manchester Jazz Festival is the City’s longest running music festival, known for championing new work, supporting emerging talent and celebrating the vibrant northern Jazz Scene.
Born in the snake pit of Leeds house parties, aggro-jazz four-piece Vipertime have earned a ferocious reputation making a series of incendiary appearances at venues and festivals across the UK, honing their craft while pushing their line up of saxo-phone, bass and twin drum sets to its sonic limits. Both live and in the studio, their music is a sweaty dance floor incarnate. A heady brew blending 70s Ethio-jazz, the 60s proto-punk of The Stooges, Alice and John Coltrane, Fela Kuti, The Pop Group and Lee Perry. Music of joy and rebellion.
Beginning as a free-improvising group, Vipertime swiftly began writing and moved into the studio to create 2019’s Shakedown, 2020’s Limbs/All Our Heroes Are Dead and 2023’s critically acclaimed Arise. These releases received airplay on BBC 6 Music, BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 3, BBC Introducing and Worldwide FM and were lauded by Iggy Pop, Gilles Peterson and Colin Curtis.
