16/10 - Robbie Melville Quartet
The Robbie Melville Quartet is the latest project from the guitarist and composer, winner of the Instrumental Category of the 2018 International Song Competition. With the sympathetic rhythm section of bassist Tamara Murphy and drummer Maddison Carter, and featuring Zoe Knighton on cello, the quartet explore a juxtaposition of heavily structured arrangements with free spirited extemporisation, informed in equal measure by contemporary jazz and Norwegian folk, the sparse and playful writings of Richard Brautigan, the photography of Viktor Kolář, the film soundtracks of Mark Orton. Delicate, humourous, ethereal, intimate and quirky. The band features:
Robbie Melville - guitar
Zoe Knighton - cello
Tamara Murphy - double bass
Maddison Carter - drums
23/10 - Tom/Holly/ Ronny Trio
Holly, Tom, and Ronny come together to explore the possibilities of a bassless trio, inspired by Paul Motian's melodically driven trio albums of the early 2000's. This debut gig will feature all new material, with the focus on beauty in simplicity.
The band features:
Holly Moore - Alto Saxophone
Tom Allen-Graham - Guitar
Ronny Ferella - Drums
30/10 - Polymorphic
Polymorphic is Maddison Carter's latest venture, drawing upon his fascination for rhythmic complexity. Whilst blurring the boundaries of jazz and contemporary classical music, the compositions juxtapose tonal and atonal threads. The music shows an affinity for constructed, organised sonic space alongside vast improvisation. Electronic manipulation, tight interlocking rhythms, and vibraphone craft the distinct sound of this ensemble.
The band features:
Maddison Carter - Drums, Vibraphone, Percussion
Flora Carbo - Alto Saxophone, Bass Clarinet, & Effects
Niran Dasika - Trumpet, Piccolo Trumpet, Synthesiser, & Effects Isaac Gunnoo - Double Bass & Electric Bass
Jessica Lindsay Smith - Flute
Imogen Cygler - Violin & Effects
