Some fascinating programming from the F-Ire Collective coming up at the end of May.
At the Pizza Express in Dean Street on Saturday 22nd are three sessions
7pm Kit Downes (solo piano) and Partisans
10pm Partisans and Kairos 4tet
midnight-3am open jam session
This gig marks the entry of Kit Downes as a new member of the F-Ire collective. He explains some of the reasons behind this on a very interesting blog post.
The remainder of the events are at the new Pizza Express Music venue, the Pheasantry in Kings Road. Talking Sages is influenced by Steve Coleman’s M-Base and involves compositions using the speech-rhythms of freestyle rap MC’s, working live with improvising jazz musicians.
