Jo Harrop Crazy Coqs, London Fri 8 Mar 7pm show

Chris Seefried magic at work again producing the earworm 'She Carries On' which is new on Mayank Patel's Lateralize label from Chester-Le-Street's finest, jazz singer Jo Harrop - an International Women's Day show at one of Soho's best jazz venues, basement club Crazy Coqs, a stone's throw from Eros. Guitarist and producer Seefried was also vital in the fabulous jazz hit Lady Blackbird Black Acid Soul sound. The pianist on the track is Black Acid Soul pianist Deron Johnson known for his work on Miles Davis' last studio album, the hip-hop influenced album Doobop, released in 1992 - not long after Miles' death the summer before.

• Byron Wallen's Four Corners Lighthouse, Poole Fri 8 Mar

Hearing Four Corners in 2020 just before Lockdown, trumpeter Byron Wallen told the audience that time that the band had been playing together for three or four years and the place was packed with a lot of musicians in the audience as well as punters in what because of circumstances was a combined two-band audience. Poole is in for a treat if the gig is anything like that London appearance in Holborn - it was one of the best live gigs attended in simply years.

Rod Youngs on drums and Rob Luft on electric guitar had toured a good deal the previous year with Dave O'Higgins and Scott Flanigan and have excellent rapport, Youngs powerful on the off beats and his bebop mastery of the bass drum certainly came into its own on the more syncopated sections for extra propulsion that Byron certainly responded to later particularly when he picked up blocks.

The tunes included the fine 'Silent Praise' and a tribute to Harry Beckett (1935-2010) called 'Pink' named after the door on an unnamed house on the Stoke Newington street that the great trumpeter advised Byron to look for when visiting him years ago. Byron said only a fellow trumpeter knows the challenge in keeping your playing chops in shape as Harry did.

The new at the time Portrait material from Byron's first album in more than a decade had plenty of oomph and fizzed with ideas. Byron's conch shell feature using pedal delay and capture that allowed him to use high pitched shells to be accompanied by the lower ranged sounds that he had moments earlier created really worked and integrated neatly when the solo flowed into band collective improvisation that then painted an expansive canvas.

Cast your minds back, with a sense of wonder, and catharsis even, to 2019's Esja. A road trip on the National Express to the west country to hear the much imitated Polish pianist in Bristol? Now that's a fine idea if not local and without wheels. Caoilfhionn Rose opens
