A joint Seven Jazz/Fusebox concert with support from Norvoljazz/Apollo
“…a rugged tenor saxophonist with a romantic streak that runs parallel to his experimental leanings…” The New Yorker – February 2013
For the past thirty years Ellery Eskelin has been at the forefront of the global creative improvised music scene. Based in New York City, he has traveled widely performing, recording and amassing a very personal and iconoclastic body of work. And yet Ellery Eskelin has always remained deeply committed to the traditions of jazz and American music.
Eskelin embodies this seeming contradiction with ease. He does not see jazz as a style or idiom but as a process. Further, a process of creative development that has great relevancy to our time. In this pursuit Eskelin consistently delivers to the listening public unadulterated, passionate music with no excuses and no apologies.
With Matthew Bourne, a Perrier award winning contemporary classical composer and avant-garde pianist and Chris Sharkey, a guitarist improviser, composer (trioVD, Acoustic Ladyland)
Support from Seth Bennett’s Fragments Trio 8.00pm
