Miles Davis visits Sligo and gets stoned by the sea.
"Perhaps the journey toward finding ones own voice is more about waiting for all the confusions of influences to crystallise, and allowing the music to find its own pathway out of you. The struggle is to let it all merge in your head and then play!

The album balances the Celtic love of melody and nuance with an awareness of the harmonic possibilities of jazz. A better demonstration of the adage about Old Wine, New Bottles could not be found.

"At last a follow up to Janette Mason's sparkling debut as leader. Alien Left Hand ....was well worth the wait…” Production **** Performance**** -- BBC Music Magazine
“…an album fizzing with fresh ideas and delights, an exhilarating musical journey .. with brilliantly original writing and inspired playing…” -- Helen Mayhew
"Every track from the rhythmic ‘NY Cab Ride’ and restless ‘4 Wheel Drive’ to the brooding ‘Mae’s Song’ has a terrific hook but it’s the way Mason switches tempo and moods that makes ALH great fun. " -- Diva Magazine
Hey Neil, Really enjoyed the gig on Weds... great Bodhran playing and hope your chops didn't get to knackered by the mouthpiece! Hope to see you again if you're in London Sarah . x
Evan Parker - saxophones Stephen Grew - piano Phillip Marks - percussion
An all too rare appearance in Manchester by one of the great masters of the saxophone... Evan Parker has been at the forefront of improvised and experimental music for over forty years, with a unique and innovative approach to his instrument that has been hugely influential. A master of extended techniques like circular breathing and multiphonics, he's made over 200 albums with artists like Derek Bailey, Scott Walker, Robert Wyatt, Spring Heel Jack, Michael Nyman, Spiritualized, Cecil Taylor, John Stevens, Gavin Bryars, Brotherhood of Breath, Basil Kirchin, Peter Brotzmann, Han Bennink, Tony Oxley, Steve Lacy, Anthony Braxton, London Jazz Composers Orchestra, Globe Unity Orchestra, Stan Tracey, Chris Corsano, Jah Wobble, Sainkho Namtchylak, Vic Reeves, Thurston Moore etc etc.....
He is joined by Stephen Grew on piano and Phillip Marks on percussion who have been making their own contributions to the world of adventurous improvisation for over 20 years. Those of you who saw them at last years Manchester Jazz Festival will know just how good they are...
The entire album is a testament to good jazz. The rhythm section sounds great, both individually and as a unit, complimenting Andrew’s lyrical style perfectly.
Hi Neil! Pleasure listening to all your tracks, It's beautiful! You are wonderful trumpet playing, I like very much your sound, and the nice ambiance!MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
Hé Neil!! How 's life??? hope it treats you well! Have a lovely Xmas and only the best for 2009: lots of love and happiness, health, great gigs, inspiring music and wonderful friends... CU soon hopefully lots of lievehugsx

Following Sun Ra's death, the group has performed under the direction of alto saxophonist Marshall Allen, who celebrated his 80th birthday on stage during Arkestra performances at the Vox Populi gallery in Philadelphia and the Vision Festival in New York City. In the summer of 2004 the Arkestra became the first American jazz band to perform in Tuva, playing five sets at the Ustuu-Huree Festival.
We welcome the Arkestra back to Manchester for the first time since 1991. We are honoured to host what is, to us and many of you, we're sure, one of the most exciting shows to hit town in recent memory.
