Alan Wilkinson / Steve Noble / John Edwards (trio)
Cafè Oto, E8 3DL , [Venue Details]Always a pleasure to welcome back the excellent improvising trio of Alan Wilkinson (saxophone), Steve Noble (drums), and John Edwards (bass)!
Originally formed in the mid noughties, when Wilkinson depped for an indisposed Lol Coxhill, the trio quickly established itself as one of the most vibrant combinations on the London Improvised music circuit, playing often at the early Café Oto, around Britain and on festivals at home and in Europe.
They produced 2 highly acclaimed CDs for Bo'Weavil Recordings the second of which 'Live at Café Oto' was voted one of Stewart Lee's CDs of the decade in The Times. Their music is characterised by a fearless approach to improvisation with lightning responses, flipping from time to abstraction and back again, incorporating inflexions from a vast array of influences.
“Big, brutal, bruising brilliance” Dan Spicer, Jazzwise July 2007. “…and these three protagonists are masters of that chance moment, musicians with the uncanny ability to harness the unpredictable and lend it form.”
