new, original and improvised music in Cambridge

Out Front

Saturday 7th October

Comprising a quintet of esteemed Listen! alumni, Out Front formed to play the music of two of jazz's greatest 'inside-outside' masters, Booker Little and Andrew Hill. Drawing on a wealth of fabulous compositions and featuring a rich line-up of three horns, drums and bass, the band explores the vast possibilities of this music, from joyous straight-ahead time playing, to the most open of improvisation.

Airborn

Saturday 14th October 

When 21 year old Rob Luft sat in for John Parricelli during Loose Tubes' reunion set at Ronnie Scott's in 2014 (we were there!), the spark of an idea kindled. A few years later that  inner mounting flame took the form of what Eddie Parker describes as a 'posh covers band',  playing modern classics by John McLaughlin, Keith Jarrett, Kenny Wheeler and John Taylor. Now, with a brand-new original set of compositions from Eddie, and fuelled by his acclaimed flute playing and lesser known prowess on the piano and keyboards, Airborn is ready for take off!

Saturday 21st October

Saxophonist Trish Clowes and cellist Louise McMonagle have been making music together for over 15 years, whether appearing as a duo, playing in Trish's band and her Emulsion festival, or recording for BBC Radio 3 studio sessions. Each musician has built a reputation for delivering powerful performances, premiering and commissioning new works, and forging alternative paths on the London contemporary music scene. A duo album is on the horizon, presenting a collection of collaborative compositions and improvisations, exploring texture, mood, and melody - think Wayne Shorter meets Kronos Quartet.
