Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Mighty new jazz-not-jazz outfit from Portishead’s Adrian Utley, Sons of Kemet drummer Seb Rochford, the legendary Larry Stabbins on sax and Get The Blessings bassist Jim Barr. Fierce and screaming skronk, cinematic downtown noir, spaced out post-everything Necks music - sometimes all in the same track - UK jazz has a bold new force (just don’t call it a supergroup)."

Eart Trumpet Presents: 137, Standing show at Dareshack, Vintry Building, 20 Wine St, Bristol BS1 2BD. Ages 18+
Doors 7:30pm Show 8:00pm
Brilliant collective impro from a British jazz supergroup featuring Larry Stabbins, Adrian Utley, Jim Bar, Sebastien Rochford.
Playing mostly improvised music, and deftly navigating a space between fierceness and sensitivity, the four musicians (and friends) have created a dialogue of singular voices that converse and battle with extraordinary fluency, an openness to listening, and a miraculously shared sense of evolving form.
"Easily one of the strongest and most enjoyable records of the year.
From a snarling, exhilarating punk-jazz to more meditative, electronica drenched swirls,there is a strong rhythmic and harmonic logic across each piece that could be mistaken for the tunes being tightly scored so tight is this band.A combination of shuffling trip-hop rhythms, post-rock riffs and splintering chords, and Stabbins’ unique cross-genre lines that use the end of jazz as the point from which they begin" - Mark Kidel The Arts Desk
