Sarost is a new trio comprising Mark Sanders Percussion, Paul Rogers Custom 7 String Bass and Larry Stabbins Saxophones, Bass Clarinet and Flutes.
Three veteran, virtuoso improvisers who have worked together in various combinations for over 40 years, this trio has an astonishing combined legacy having shaped and been a part of and still shaping the British Free Jazz/Improv scene.
During a 50+ year career across the spectrum of music saxophonist Larry Stabbins has worked with most of the important figures at the cutting edge of European Jazz and Improvisation from Mike Westbrook to Keith Tippett and Tony Oxley and Germany's Peter Brotzmann, as well as with Robert Wyatt and Jerry Dammers Spatial AKA. Alongside this he played in the seminal pop group Weekend and formed Working Week with guitarist Simon Booth, a project that took a melange of latin, soul and jazz into the world of pop and dance music.
Since then, different projects of his own across the range of his interests have varied from totally improvised small groups and solo performances to "Jazz Rap" ( QRZ?) in the early 1990s, "FreeJazz TechnoFunk" (Game Theory) early 2000s, "Psychedelic Hip Hop" (Stonephace) and freeish "Spiritual Jazz" (Stonephace Stabbins with Zoe Rahman) around 2010. And currently in a quartet "137"with Adrian Utley and Jim Barr of the cult band "Portishead" and Percussionist Sebastien Rochford
Paul Rogers plays an AAL 7 string bass of his own design. In addition to solo concert performances he has played with countless major musicians on the European and US Jazz and Improvised Music scenes for over 40 years including many combinations with Mark, with whom he recently recorded with Paul Dunmall and was a member of the influential group Mujician with Keith Tippett, Paul Dunmall and Tony Levin. He also played with Larry in many groupings over the years, most notably the Keith Tippett Septet and Tapestry Orchestra and Louis Moholo's Dedication Orchestra.
Mark Sanders is a drummer/percussionist who has played with countless renowned improvising musicians in concerts and festivals all over the world, including Roscoe Mitchell, Wadada Leo Smith, Derek Bailey, Roswell Rudd, Paul Dunmall, Rachel Musson and Evan Parker, with Larry in a quartet with Howard Riley and as a trio with pianist Pat Thomas and played on over 200 vinyl and CD releases and is hugely in demand with visiting American musicians.
They have a new CD out on Jazz in Britain /Jazz Now
Live Review Louis Moholo Tribute at 100 Club
'Highlight of the night came next- veteran sax man Larry Stabbins (looking remarkably trim and healthy for 75) and his trio of Mark Sanders on Percussion and Paul Rogers (playing and coaxing remarkable sounds out of his self-designed seven string bass). What followed was a set of undulating intensity, drawing gasps and whoops of appreciation from a now hyped-up crowd'. - Kevin Whitlock Jazzwise Magazine
