Sunny Murray / John Edwards / Tony Bevan 2 day residency - 2 day pass

Event information

“Murray is the magic ingredient that makes this trio so magnificent. Anyone who can take to the stage with Bevan and Edwards on an equal footing deserves respect; Murray has a lot of additional weight to carry: it can’t be easy being a Jazz legend. But Murray’s current rep doesn’t rest on his contributions to Jazz history. The passion and feeling he invests in his drumming is palpable and energising; more than that this trio works wonderfully well together in that special way that only the most congruous partnerships do." The Jazzman

John Edwards is a true virtuoso whose staggering range of techniques and boundless musical imagination have redefined the possibility of the double bass and dramatically expanded its role, whether playing solo or with others. Perpetually in demand, he has played with Evan Parker, Sunny Murray, Derek Bailey, John Wall, Joe McPhee, Lol Coxhill, and many others.

Tony Bevan is an improvising virtuoso on Soprano, Tenor and Bass saxophones. He has appeared numerous times with Derek Bailey's international symposium of improvisers, COMPANY, released acclaimed CDs on Bailey's INCUS label (including the Mercury Music Prize nominated "Bigshots") as well as recording with Bailey himself (he is a member of Bailey's "Limescale" quintet). He has toured extensively in Europe and America. Writer Ben Watson has written of him as "one of the unsung heroes of modern British music".

 Bevan has played and record with Derek Bailey, Sunny Murray, Otomo Yoshihide, Luc Ferrari, Fourtet, Matthew Bourne, Henry Grimes, Steve Reid, Bobby Few, J Spaceman, Sonny Simmons, Chris Corsano, Jeb Bishop, Michael Zerang and many others.
