Event information
Nick Ramm studied at Guildhall School Of Music And Drama where he met Phil France from The Cinematic Orchestra. A few years later he toured and recorded with them appearing on their albums Ma Fleur and Live At The Royal Albert Hall. He currently works regularly in the touring band of Mulatu Astatke.
A 6-month phase of freely improvised gigs in 2023 (including a Ramm/Herbert duo gig at The Crypt) left Ramm inspired to write a new set of ensemble compositions. Influenced by the styles of Miles, Coltrane, Pharoah Sanders, McCoy Tyner, Bill Evans and Herbie Hancock, these strong roots form the basis of the sound although modern styles such as afro beat, hip hop, funk, latin, spiritual jazz and freeness are also entwined.
The band is formed of close associates - Ramm worked in Wallen's projects Sound Advice, Tarot Suite, Octet, Black Flag, with Wareham's group Acoustic Ladyland and with Herbert in Barak Schmool's Timeline, Jade Fox and Finn Peter's band.
On the menu: Planet Earth, it's trees, The Minor Nine chord, Trumpet and Saxophone in harmony, the number Zero, Dedication To My Father, Prince inspired, Thank you for the music.
