Trio Rewind - Noel Taylor/John Garcia/Tom Wheatley

Event information

Trio Rewind focus bring a quiet intensity to their music, but there is always a sense of something held back. It is as if amonst the abstract fragments of sound and texture there are lurking mute shadow melodies, waiting to burst out or be given their voice. At such moments the Trio move into 'rewind mode', exploring short stray echoes of blues, jazz chords, Latin rhythms, sometimes progressing to sustained melodic passages.

Tom Wheatley is a young bassist who focuses very much on placement and timing - frequently eschewing the obvious in favour of more oblique insertions into musical space. John Garcia on the Tiplé (a 12 stringed folk guitar) has a deeply intuitive approach to his playing. He often searches for quietness and abstraction, but one senses a tripwire descent into darker territory might be just around the corner, with South American passion given full release. Noel Taylor, on clarinet, sifts through these fragments of sound, seaching for tonalities that trigger a memory, a fleeting response, a passing echoe of things heard before, the past embedded in the present and entering in to full rewind.

There will also be a set by a trio of Alison Blunt on violin, Ricardo Tejero (sax and clarinet) and Guillaume Viltard on double bass.
