Joe Mcphee With Chris Corsano + Land Observations
-
Mon 23 July 2012 // 19:30
(Monday 23rd / 7.30pm / £7 advance)
Enjoy dazzling and powerful jazz from legendary American multi-instrumentalist Joe McPhee, who roared thru the Sixties / Seventies New Thing and onwards ever morphing. Witness Joe playing together with the exciting loose limbed drummer Chris Corsano who can rattle and snake, bow and bend his kit into intense and fluid pattens.
Born in 1939 Joe McPhee is truly a living hero. His 1970's free funk album 'Nation Time' is a jazz stand out and he has noisily mixed it with USA's far out jazz players for a long time as well as cut into Euro improv. Influenced by John Coltrane, Albert Ayler and Ornette Coleman.
Chris Corsano has also played with Bjork and Thurston Moore but is totally at ease underpinning and over scoring Jazz. He is capable of generating r out of permanent ecstasy - marvelling us with the resonances and with all the plastic/acoustic possibilities of the skin on his kit.
James Brooks' LAND OBSERVATIONS is a finely tuned music/art project that explores man made and natural geographic forms using live instruments, guitar amps and visuals. Previously James played guitar in Appliance and is releasing his new album ROMAN ROADS IV-XI on Mute. This is one of his first live performances as LO. Influenced as much by Tom Verlaine as Steve Reich or the Kosmische groups, Roman Roads sees Brooks exploring the power of minimalism to create warm, evocative atmospherics.
