Ahead of the Rolling Stones shows this week in London, members of the Stones travelling band, saxophonist Tim Ries, trombonist Michael Davis and singer Bernard Fowler, took their own jazzed-up versions of the Jagger/Richards songbook to the Vortex Jazz Club in Dalston last night.

More used to playing to thousands rather than the intimate setting of a neighbourhood jazz club the Vortex was full of travelling American Stones fans who heard, in the first set, extended versions of Honky Tonk Woman, Wild Horses and Satisfaction smoothly delivered by the band which also included UK jazz musicians Jim Watson, Mark Hodgson, Josh Blackmore and Mike Outram. Ries, Davis and Fowler are back with the Stones tonight at the O2, but you can catch their Rolling Stones Project show again at the Mean Fiddler (the old LA2) on Wednesday night.
