Event information

Ken Vandermark + Paal Nilssen-Love

The high impact duo of Paal Nilssen-Love (drums) and Ken Vandermark (reeds) has been working together at an accelerated rate since 2002, and they have put out seven albums of exceptional and wide ranging improvised music since then. Though they have both worked in many critically acclaimed groups- from the Peter Brötzmann Chicago Tentet, Lean Left (with Terrie Hessels and Andy Moor of The Ex) to Double Tandem (with Dutch saxophonist, Ab Baars)- they have continued to return to their duo for more than a dozen years because it remains crucial to their creative output.

"one of the most powerful improvisational duos around" - Derek Stone, freejazzblog.

Neil Metcalfe + Barry Edwards + Colin Somervell

Formed in 2024 and having performed and recorded regularly since then, this trio combines lyricism and textural improvisation in a chamber-like setting. Flautist Neil Metcalfe is an esteemed veteran of the improv scene since the 1970s while Barry Edwards (electric guitar) and Colin Somervell (double bass) have been collaborating together since the early 2000s.
