thrash and folk protest.

Beethoven, The Violent Femmes, Shockabilly, John
Zorn, Jello Biafra, Mojo Nixon, Evan Johns, The Sun

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

might change your life!" Sean Rafferty 'In

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...."
