Monsterosa
Cadogan Hall, SW1X 9DQ , [Venue Details]Monsterosa emerged from a lockdown project by Edinburgh saxophonist Graeme Wilson to write new songs and instrumentals for five jazz musicians based on Italo Calvino’s Marcovaldo collection.
The stories follow a man trying to recapture country life in an urban setting, and the music follows the joy in each moment of possibility he finds: for sleeping outdoors, or gathering firewood, or eating well.
Sung by the wonderful London-based singer Rebecca Hollweg (“a great singer who I love very much” – Jamie Cullum), the melodies are rooted in jazz, taking in Wilson’s wider love for soul, folk, and Latin music. UK Jazz News said of their 2024 LP release, The Seasons in the City, that “the band are terrific…the whole ensemble play with a deftness and sensitivity… a joy to listen to”.
