Event information

Don't miss this killer line up - drum heaven!

Eddie Prévost, Jason Yarde, Oli Hayhurst
Drummer and percussionist Eddie Prévost has spent a career devoted to the outer reaches of the music. In the forty-odd years he's been musically active he has been a key member of the free improvisation group AMM as well as a band leader in his own right, leading units dedicated to mining a musical seam closer to free jazz than free improvisation as such. And tonight he leads this magnificent trio with Jason Yarde and Oli Hayhurst.

Chris Corsano & Paul Dunmall
After working together with John Edwards, John Edwards and Evan Parker and releasing a duo album for the resurrected ESP-Disk, the Dunmall-Corsano pairing returns to London for a rare performance.

"Impulsive and lyrical improvisation, alternatingly sparse and impossibly textured. Corsano's skittering marries perfectly with Dunmall's rapid-fire lines. The melodies are expertly uncoiled so that they remain charged whether the tempo is at full speed or crawling...this duo was fated to work together." - ESP-Disk

Paul Dunmall has been called "one of the most accomplished reedists on the planet" (Ken Waxman, Jazz Weekly) and he is certainly one of the most fluent and powerful saxophonists playing in Britain today. Over his forty-year career he has played with Alice Coltrane, Johnny 'Guitar' Watson, Keith Tippett, Henry Grimes and Andrew Cyrille, amongst many others.

Chris Corsano is a restlessly inventive percussionist with quick hands and a constantly expanding vocabulary of extended techniques. Hailing from the northeast US, he can often be found in duo situations and is at his most kinetic when going head-to-head with firebrand saxophonists like Paul Flaherty, Joe McPhee, Virginia Genta, and Wally Shoup.
