A seminal figure in American free improvisation, Eugene Chadbourne, aka Dr. Chad, plays a uniquely entertaining mixture of country & western, bebop, rock, jazz, thrash and folk protest.

Widely regarded as some kind of genius, he has made over 80 albums and worked with figures as diverse as Camper Van Beethoven, The Violent Femmes, Shockabilly, John Zorn, Jello Biafra, Mojo Nixon, Evan Johns, The Sun City Girls and Jimmy Carl Black.

On this, his first UK tour in many moons, he is joined by Roger Turner, a central figure in European improvisation.

Phronesis

Friday 1 October 2010  8pm  £10
CUBE Déda, Chapel St., DE1 3GU
Tickets:  01332 370911

Gigs at this venue often sell out - you are strongly recommended to book in advance.

Jasper Høiby - bass

Ivo Neame - piano

Anton Eger - drums

Swedish drummer, Anton Eger, just in from Norway, drives the band with precision and ingenuity, treating his kit as a melodic instrument, rather than simply laying down the beat. On bass, leading the trio, Dane Jasper Hoiby, resident ten years in the UK, quietly demands respect for his confident mastery, dextrous, spider-like fingers drawing out assured acoustic patterns. Ivo Neame, on piano, drifts in and out of a flowing, Scandinavian jazz piano style to reveal an assured and personal voice, with phrasing at times bringing to mind Herbie Hancock, and even Keith Jarrett - no bad thing.

Interestingly, coming from a bunch of northern Europeans there is a lot of Latin groove in the rhythms and the spirit of the playing.

“The most exciting and imaginative piano trio since EST”
Jon Newey (Jazzwise)
"Look out for Phronesis - they might change your life!"
Sean Rafferty 'In Tune' BBC Radio 3

Paragon

Tickets:  01332 370911

Peter Ehwald - saxes and clarinet

Arthur Lea - keys and tenor horn

Matthias Nowak - bass

Jon Scott - drums and percussion

Anglo-German band, Paragon comprises four of the most exciting young talents currently working on the European jazz circuit.

"The group plays highly complex original material. Ehwald has a prodigious saxophone technique and a fine ear, particularly in his frequent excursions into altissimo, but his most natural voice seemed to emerge in the more thoughtful and expressive moments. Reactions were generally so intuitive and quick that the band seem to be able move convincingly, and with one collective mind into each new feel...." - Sebastian Scotney, London Jazz

Liam has long been known for his highly original piano playing and his in-depth knowledge of the great jazz masters including Ellington and Bill Evans. But his longstanding admiration for Dave Brubeck is clearly demonstrable in this fascinating collection of some of Brubeck’s best known pieces.

A trio that Brubeck himself called “an inspiration”.
