Four accomplished improvisers create and connect through the strong interplay between them. Very high energy music aiming to involve and transport the listener. Colin Fisher (sax, guitar), George Koller (electric and standup bass, saranghi voice) and Diane Roblin (keys)
The ever-curious Colin Fisher has a been a major presence in Canada's music community for more than twenty years—particularly in more experimental and improvisational circles. Nothing short of a guitar virtuoso, he also wields saxophone, drums, and various other instruments with similarly refined musicality, vivid textural imagination, and sometimes feral abandon.
