World-class Jazz & Italian Hospitality at Il Salotto

Il Salotto and Speakeasy Sounds CIC proudly present The Rhythm Rascals Collective — a sparkling international debut and a one-off night not to be missed.
Four world-class players. Four countries. One stage. Rising stars Tom Ward on piano and Timmy Allan on bass bring youth, fire and formidable technique. Hot jazz veterans Torstein Kubban on trumpet and Jonathan Greene on clarinet bring the kind of authority and soul that can only come from a lifetime of playing. Together, they make something entirely their own — the hottest, swingiest jazz you’ll hear in Glasgow this year.
Curated by Speakeasy Sounds, renowned for bringing world-class musicians to intimate venues across Scotland, this is an evening that could only happen once — and it’s happening right here at Il Salotto.
Expect an evening where music drives the mood, conversations flow, and fine dining and live jazz come together in true Prohibition Parlour style.

The Rhythm Rascals Collective
• Tom Ward — piano (England)
• Timmy Allan — bass (Scotland)
• Torstein Kubban — trumpet (Norway)
• Jonathan Greene — clarinet (New Orleans)
Tom Ward is a rising force on the English jazz scene, bringing a pianist’s instinct for melody and swing that belies his years. Timmy Allan — Glasgow’s own award-winning bassist and a familiar face at Prohibition Parlour — anchors the rhythm with effortless authority. Torstein Kubban is a Norwegian trumpet veteran whose hot jazz pedigree speaks for itself, and Jonathan Greene brings the authentic sound of New Orleans on clarinet, steeped in the tradition and alive in every note. This collective has never performed together in this configuration before. Come and be part of its debut.
Drinks You will have the opportunity to purchase wine, cocktails and soft drinks at the event.
The Concept
Prohibition Parlour at Il Salotto is an exciting new partnership between two creative forces: Ali Affleck and Sara Seravalli. United by a deep passion for curated, exclusive experiences, they bring together decades of expertise and truly international perspectives.
Ali, an award-winning jazz singer, has performed across the globe and, together with the team at Speakeasy Sounds, has been instrumental in bringing some of the world's most electrifying jazz talent to Scotland. Sara has spent over 15 years producing standout events for the design industry across Europe and the UK, shaping unforgettable experiences and creative communities.
Together, they have created something extraordinary.
Join us at Il Salotto, in the heart of the Merchant City, for evenings of fine Italian hospitality, finer music, and an atmosphere unlike anything else in Glasgow.
