Bringing together five of the country's most exciting young creative musicians, alongside established star multi-instrumentalist Orphy Robinson, this sextet exploits its highly unusual instrumentation to explore structural boundaries and the composition / improvisation question.
Featuring original compositions by the leader, labelled by All About Jazz as 'one of the brightest rising young stars of British jazz and improvisation', together with arrangements of works by composers such as Braxton, Ellington, Ra and others, the musicians come together to create a compelling sound world.
The group's debut album, No Now Is So, was variously called 'an incredible record' (Bagatellen) and 'an unqualified success' (All About Jazz), and appeared in various 'best album' and 'best debut album' of 2009 lists.
Featuring Alexander Hawkins (piano), Javier Carmona (drums, percussion), Otto Fischer (electric guitar), Dominic Lash (double bass), Hannah Marshall (cello) and Orphy Robinson (steel pan).
