Mopomoso’s 25th anniversary afternoon sessions continue with three very different sets from the wonderful world of free improvisation.

John Rangecroft (sax), Dave Tucker (guitar), Marcio Mattos (bass) & Mark Sanders (drums)

Highly respected reedsman Rangecroft, here on tenor saxophone, leading his own quartet which promises melodic and rhythmic invention of a high calibre. With three of the UK’s finest providing a propulsive energy, a great way to open proceedings.

Matilda Rolfsson (perc), Hannah Marshall (cello) & Julie Kjaer (sax)

Outstanding Danish saxophonist, British cellist and Norwegian percussionist join forces in an ever changing trialogue full of ideas and invention, brimming with energy and a genuine sense of fun. Delightful!

Henry Lowther (trumpet) & John Russell (guitar)

The last set of the Mopomoso Red Rose series was played by this long standing partnership. A poised and very open duo who are unaverse to risk taking while sharing a mutual respect and understanding for each other’s music. Their regular trio with violinist Satoko Fukuda plays later in the year so this is a rare chance to catch these two fine musicians in a duo.
