Conceptually part of the A New Wave Of Jazz modus operandi, to unite musicians and kindred spirits to create on the spot, curator Dirk Serries has a dream.. Heavily inspired by the late 70s/early 80s British free improvising ‘big bands’, Derek Bailey’s Company group, Iskra 1903 and John Stevens’ Spontaneous Music Ensemble, he has formed the IMPETUS GROUP – a large ensemble based upon the free improvisation principle. The first iteration of the big band will be premiered at Hundred Years Gallery. The line-up, co-selected with the help of Raw Tonk Records, IMPETUS GROUP on November 17th will be :
Saxophones : Alan Wilkinson, Cath Roberts, Martin Clarke
Bass Clarinet/Flute : Tom Ward
Trumpet : Charlotte Keeffe
Acoustic Guitars : Daniel Thompson, Dirk Serries
Double Bass : Otto Willberg
Cello : Hannah Marshall
Viola : Benedict Taylor
Doors 3:30 | music 4pm | entry £5
