Chris Corsano & Paul Dunmall - Duo
Paul Dunmall : tenor saxophone, border pipes
Chris Corsano : drums
Rare duo gig after their recent album release on ESP.
"Chris is the hottest drummer on the planet" - David Keenan
"Chris Corsano is one of the most immensely talented drummers to have emerged from the recent past. Those who have witnessed the giganticism of his formal leaps in the jaws of post-avant-garde power surging, have been left slack w/ the wonder & hilarity of it all." – Byron Coley
"Paul Dunmall is one of the most accomplished reedists on the planet" - Jazz Weekly
"Dunmall is eclectic, capable on several instruments and full of wonder for the improvised form" - All About Jazz
“Best known for his collaborations with Paul Flaherty, Michael Flower and Thurston Moore as well as a year-and-a-half stint as the drummer for Björk's Volta tour, Chris Corsano is widely considered to be one of the most adaptive drummers of his generation. Equally prolific is UK saxophone giant, Paul Dunmall, who has worked disparately with jazz greats like Alice Coltrane and Evan Parker as well as funk and folk acts like Johnny Guitar Watson and Dando Shaft.
…impulsive and lyrical improvisation, alternatingly sparse and impossibly textured. Corsano's skittering marries perfectly with Dunmall's rapid-fire lines. The melodies are expertly uncoiled so that they remain charged whether the tempo is at full speed or crawling…this duo was fated to work together” - ESP
Chris Corsano has collaborated with such distinguished musicians as Paul Flaherty, Thurston Moore and Björk developing a percussive language of extraordinary amplitude and infinite resources. He is capable of generating narrative out of permanent ecstasy, leading the eternal cry of sax players and blowers of the 60's to its logical consequence - a supreme continuous howl, marveling us with the resonances and with all the plastic/acoustic possibilities of the skin on his kit. Capable of interacting in the most disparate creative and vocabular settings (he's got a wide interest in many musical forms), he never ceases to be profoundly affirmative and imposing of his language, and being an absolute and charismatic virtuoso, he simultaneously is one of the most noble and generous improvisers of the few last decades.

Paul Dunmall has been called “one of the most accomplished reedists on the planet” (Ken Waxman, Jazz Weekly) and he is certainly one of the most fluent and powerful saxophonists playing in Britain today. Over his forty year career he has played with Alice Coltrane, Johnny 'Guitar' Watson, Keith Tippett, and Evan Parker amongst many others. Recently he has amazed audiences world wide with his performances in The Profound Sound Trio, with free jazz legends Andrew Cyrille and Henry Grimes.
