This Friday, one concert you may not miss

For decades the Globe Unity Orchestra has been bringing together the most renowned musicians from the international experimental improvisation scene. Every performance is a unique opportunity to see wayward soloists from several generations and countries on the same stage. The ensemble’s collective improvisations have much in common with the ecstatic free jazz of Albert Ayler and John Coltrane’s ‘Ascension’, as well as with the European avant-garde music of the last century.

After a fifteen-year hiatus the orchestra was recently resurrected. Critics are unanimously impressed with the impact of the renewed ensemble. ‘An amazing experience on record but exponentially more powerful in person.’ (All About Jazz) ‘Essential listening for anyone with even a passing interest in European free improvisation.’ (Jazz Times)

Evan Parker-saxophones, E.L. Petrowsky-saxophones, Gerd Dudek-saxophones, Rudi Mahall-bassclarinet, Manfred Schoof-trumpet, Jean-Luc Cappozzo-trumpet, Axel Doerner-trumpet, Johannes Bauer-trombone, Jeb Bishop-trombone, Alexander von Schlippenbach-piano, Paul Lovens-drums, Paul Lytton-drums

Friday 26 September at the Bimhuis.
