Trio of Dominic Lash (double bass), Mark Sanders (drums) and Daniele Martini (saxophones) reconvene at OTO, this time with Gail Brand (trombone) joining to form a wide-ranging free improvisation quartet capable of high energy blasts, searching textural invention and melodic ruminations...
DANIELE MARTINI / saxophones
Born in Rome and based in Brussels, Daniele Martini is considered an eclectic and original voice of the European musical scene.
With a wide musical range that is reflected by the extremely diverse bands where he plays, he's often involved in projects of free improvisation, such as Tetterapadequ and Roll Call, for which he recorded for world-famous Clean Feed, and a trio with Nate Wooley and Joao Lobo for which a release is planned for this year.
DOMINIC LASH / double bass
Dominic Lash has performed with Tony Conrad and Evan Parker; other currently active ensembles include a duo with Alex Ward, a trio with John Butcher and John Russell and The Convergence Quartet (with Taylor Ho Bynum, Harris Eisenstadt and Alexander Hawkins). He also leads The Set Ensemble (an experimental music group mainly devoted to the work of composers from the Wandelweiser collective). Recent CD publications include work on the Another Timbre, Cathnor, Clean Feed and Psi labels. He was resident in New York for much of 2011, where he performed with musicians including Michael Pisaro, Fay Victor and Nate Wooley.
MARK SANDERS / drums
Mark Sanders has been acclaimed as “the most exciting, original and overwhelmingly powerful drummer alive” (Steve Reynolds, Jazz Corner) and his precise and propulsive drumming has graced projects with, to name but a few, Evan Parker, Jah Wobble, Broadcast, Agusti Fernandez, John Butcher, Roswell Rudd, and Otomo Yoshihde.
"ubiquitous, diverse and constantly creative, drummer Mark Sanders always outdoes himself, whether playing with restraint or erupting like a dynamo." Bruce L Gallenter, Downtown Music Gallery. NY
"a gifted player capable of seamless movement between free-rhythms and propulsive swing" John Fordham. The Guardian
GAIL BRAND / trombone
Born in London, 1971, Gail has been a trombonist since the age of 9. A former student at Middlesex University and the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, she is a commissioned composer and has performed on the international jazz and improvising scene since the early 1990s. Past and present collaborators include , Billy Jenkins, Mark Sanders, Morgan Guberman, Elton Dean, Phil Minton, Pat Thomas, Lol Coxhill, Veryan Weston, Oren Marshall, Maggie Nichols, Luc Ex and countless others.
