Chris Biscoe’s Profiles Quintet ft Tony Kofi
East Side Jazz Club, E11 3DB , [Venue Details]Chris Biscoe – soprano, alto and baritone sax, alto clarinet
Tony Kofi – sax
Alcyona Mick – piano
Larry Bartley – bass
Winston Clifford – drums
Chris Biscoe returns to the East Side with another band. This one explores the music of Eric Dolphy amongst others.
Chris released an album in 2008 called Gone in the Air . This is a successor to that band with Alcyona Mick joining the band on piano and with Winston Clifford in the drum chair .
This is what Chris wrote about that venture and further below are some reviews
I read about Eric Dolphy before I heard his music. What I read, about a man radically extending the language of the saxophone while remaining in the jazz tradition, immediately attracted me, and predisposed me to like his music.
I also read that Ornette Coleman was an iconoclast tearing jazz apart. What I didn’t know, until I heard their records, was that Ornette Coleman’s tunes and melodic improvisations would be immediately attractive to a relative newcomer to jazz, while some of Eric Dolphy’s playing would sound to me like someone who had gone one step too far.
