One of the highlights of the Vortex London Jazz Festival – TIME OUT

Featuring Fyfe Dangerfield (from Guillemots), Gannets posit an alternative jazz history in which 30's swing developed straight into a combined form of the free jazz and fusion movements, without any of the intervening decades.

A duo between two of the worlds Free Improvisation/Free Jazz greats! The Pauls have a long association though the incredible improvising quartet Mujician and have played just about everywhere with just about everyone! For me this promises to be one of the outstanding improvisation gigs of 2009!

Apologies for cross-postings and dublications.

Unfortunately, this month’s Stet Lab has had to be postponed by 24 hours.
The Lab will now take place on Tuesday, December 9th 2008.
[Details…]

Same place (Upstairs @ The Roundy), same time (9:00pm), same remarkable / outstanding / implausible / magical lineup (Bruce Coates, Sarah O’Halloran, Neil O’Loghlen and Han-earl Park).

Stet Lab





Dec 1 2008 12:24 PM

The final Stet Lab of 2008 takes place in one week (Monday, December 8th) at 9:00pm, upstairs @ The Roundy.
[Details…]

The event will feature Birmingham based saxophonist Bruce Coates—navigator of the boundary between avant jazz and after-Cardew experimentalism.
Coates will be performing with composer-performer-installation artist Sarah O’Halloran, improviser-guitarist Han-earl Park, and double bassist Neil O’Loghlen.

The Coates-O’Halloran-Park trio originally kicked-off the first Stet Lab in November 2007.
Check out audio recordings of the very first Stet Lab (including the very first six minutes and three seconds) for a sample of what to expect (or not).

Hope to see you there, participating as audience, performer or helper, and thank you for your continued support: we’ll be closing Stet Lab ’08 with a very high note (perhaps from a sopranino saxophone).
