First time meeting for Dominic Lash (double bass), Mark Sanders (drums) and Daniele Martini (saxophones). What will sparkle from this encounter is unpredictable, all that's sure is that given the extreme musicality of these three young musicians the result will be worth looking out for. Expect two flamboyant sets of high level free improvisation with nothing other than the line-up to remind a typical jazz trio.

DANIELE MARTINI

Born in Rome and based in Brussels, Daniele Martini is considered an eclectic and original voice of the European musical scene.

With a wide musical range that is reflected by the extremely diverse bands where he plays, he's often involved in projects of free improvisation, such as Tetterapadequ and Roll Call, for which he recorded for world-famous Clean Feed, and a trio with Nate Wooley and Joao Lobo for which a release is planned for this year.

MARK SANDERS

Mark Sanders has been acclaimed as “the most exciting, original and overwhelmingly powerful drummer alive” (Steve Reynolds, Jazz Corner) and his precise and propulsive drumming has graced projects with, to name but a few, Evan Parker, Jah Wobble, Broadcast, Agusti Fernandez, John Butcher, Roswell Rudd, and Otomo Yoshihde.

"ubiquitous, diverse and constantly creative, drummer Mark Sanders always outdoes himself, whether playing with restraint or erupting like a dynamo." Bruce L Gallenter, Downtown Music Gallery. NY

"a gifted player capable of seamless movement between free-rhythms and propulsive swing" John Fordham. The Guardian

DOMINIC LASH

Dominic Lash has performed with Tony Conrad and Evan Parker; other currently active ensembles include a duo with Alex Ward, a trio with John Butcher and John Russell and The Convergence Quartet (with Taylor Ho Bynum, Harris Eisenstadt and Alexander Hawkins). He also leads The Set Ensemble (an experimental music group mainly devoted to the work of composers from the Wandelweiser collective).
