Welcome to my myspace space.
I'm a freelance saxophone/clarinet player, composer and teacher from north London. Some people I play with at the moment are.... lovely singer Mishka Adams .... spacious, lyrical, drummerless Soma quartet with Joe Auckland, Ryan Williams and Will Collier.... outer-space harmonies and killer grooves with Stefano Kalonaris' Bes trio.... Afrobeat/Afrofunk 12-piece Afrik Bawantu .... Chris Elcombe's flamenco-tango-montuno-free improv-groove heavy Hispanica ....
Club Do Choro
, playing chorinho which is instrumental music which originated in late-nineteenth century Rio.... percussion with Rhythms of the City (part of the F-IRE collective) performing Rio-style carnival samba, samba-reggae, funk and more.... groove-jazz-gospel-ish choir the London Vocal Project....
About the tracks you're listening to... Sway is by me, played with Soma. Mindiatyr is played with friends from Guildhall where I studied, it's a Bobo Stenson tune which Mishka wrote words for. Arthur's Point is a tune by Joe played with Soma. Outra Vez is a Jobim tune dismantled and rearranged by Chris Elcombe and played by Hispanica. Queen and Soldier is taken from a live performance by Spin Allowed, a project which combines elements of contemporary jazz improvisation with Indian classical dance rhythms and dancers.
