Xhosa Cole presents FreeMonk – Three-Day Residency
Cafè Oto, E8 3DL , [Venue Details]Featuring: Pat Thomas, Jeff Williams, Josh Vadiveloo, and Tom Challenger
Xhosa Cole returns to OTO for a three-night residency with his latest project - FreeMonk, following the launch of On A Modern Genius (Vol.1), his critically acclaimed album of nine Monk tunes.
Each night will feature a 30 minute duo set, followed by a 60-80 minute set with the full ensemble.
Thelonious Monk has always had a special place in Xhosa’s heart, who first connected with his music through saxophonist Sonny Rollins. “My route to connecting to him was through Rollins, both geniuses of modern music in their own rights. Masters of melodies, riffing and spontaneity, they are kings in a dynasty of improvised music. Monk has a strong legacy of being an influential mentor and teacher to countless young aspiring jazz musicians - Coltrane, Jackie McLean, Billy Higgins, Barry Harris and Johnny Griffin.
This legacy lived on through his compositions. Through his recordings and study of his writing I've learnt so much about the infrastructure that holds melody and groove together, and through his improvising I'm learning about the intersection of authenticity, identity and expression.”
Xhosa will be joined by Pat Thomas on piano, Jeff Williams on drums, Josh Vadiveloo on bass and Tom Challenger on saxophone.
