BOB SEDERGREEN AND FRIENDS With David Jones and Evripides Evripidu | |
Saturday 14th October 2023 Time: 8:00 pm |
These three exceptional
musicians came together to form The David Jones Trio A trio that continually push the bounds of freely improvised contemporary
music. Evri’s skilful use of soundscapes, David’s exploration of not just the drum kit and a plethora of all sorts of objects creating
unique rhythms and polyrhythms Bob of course had been on the ground floor of this approach with the famous Brian Brown Quartet. The
trio made a ground-breaking double album called “Intuition “adding spiritual relevance to the music This get together after
a long absence, follows outstanding performances in November 2022 and February and April 2023 when the audience was left spellbound
However due to space considerations the trio have agreed to the limitations of a normal piano trio, with the musical approach of creating
music on the spot will be a major feature of the performance with the addition of some standards. Their last appearance at Southside
was almost sold out so book early not to miss out for this one. Don’t miss this unique and special performance. |

music scene. Chantal has recently returned home and received rave reviews from the audience from the sell-out crowd at The Lido jazz
Room in August. Bob Sedergreen, piano, Ivan Rosa on bass and Sonja Horbelt on drums are a formidable rhythm section having worked
together for more than 20 years releasing their longstanding album The First One an eclectic mix of hip jazz, well-chosen standards
