Confront Recordings 25th anniversary concert
Friday 3rd September 2021
We are delighted that the first concert in our autumn series celebrates 25 years of Mark Wastell's Confront Recordings record label. An outstanding trio of renowned improvising musicians has been formed especially for the occasion!
Ed Jones: saxophones
At the forefront of the British jazz scene for over 30 years, Ed's
collaborations reflect his diverse musical interests: John Stevens, Dick Heckstall-Smith, Us 3, Incognito, Chaka Khan and Byron Wallen to name just a few.
'...he's an improviser to his fingertips, a player of forceful imagination, and one of the UK's most distinctive saxophonists.' John Fordham (The Guardian)
Dominic Lash:
double bass & electric guitar
Best known in the improvised music world as an inventive double bass player, Dominic has spent a good deal of lockdown perfecting his electric guitar skills. Formerly a central figure in the Oxford Improvisers' Collective, his long-term musical collaborators include Alexander Hawkins, Angharad Davies, Steve Noble and Pat Thomas. His Spoonhunt record label has recently released its first three CDs: Limulus, Distinctions and Discernment.
Mark Wastell: percussion
A versatile musician, Mark has played a central role in the British improvised music scene for a quarter of a century. He has performed and recorded extensively with a varied range of artists including Derek Bailey, John Butcher, Rhodri Davies, Julie Tippetts, John Zorn, Chris Burn and Stewart Lee.
Mark also runs the pioneering Confront Recordings record label, now in its 25th year, which has released over 150 albums to date.
