BECK-CORSANO DUO + Support

Event information

Be afraid! Giants of free improv in debut exclusive!!!

After appearing separately on the same recent bill both of these unique professionals were impressed by each other's work and agreed to this heads off which is set to be a historic live concert.
If you haven't yet had the privilege of encountering Mick Beck's technically blinding yet, highly colourful yet completely O.T.T, blazing anarchy on tenor, rest assured he gives that distinct but rare impression he could have been born wearing it. Chris Corsano, possibly the most energetic free-percussionist in the West, is also becoming a household name currently as Bjork's chosen drummer, constantly excelling himself live with a growing number of collaborators, burning up the kit with hair-raising polyrhythms and highly original experimentation. Promised to be a mesmeric and spine tingling, highly memorable show.

Collaborators: Bailey, Fell, Marks, Flaherty, Brotzmann, Sunburned, Parker etc.

A couple of Wire Quotes:
'Beck plays tenor with conviction that can border on lawlessness.
'Corsano is arguably the most riotously energetic and creative drummer in contemporary free jazz'.

+ Black Serama vs. Collins-Ward Fernadez Duo.

Backing up with another first-time ever collaboration - Black Serama (eccentric sibling runaways Jonny & Bel Drury in Acid / Tolkienesque guitar-vox journeying) battle for sensible interpretation of nether-worlds (and Nether Edge) with long established improv artisans Charlie Collins (free percussion) and Ward-Fernandez (electric violin and theramin). Wow..!

NOTE: Very limited tickets. Beck's own private Sheffield venue 'Over the Top' holds just 40 people, making this concert an even more intense yet intimate experience.
