We are delighted to host four restlessly creative artists, Rachel Musson, John Edwards, N. O. Moore and Steve Noble.
Rachel Musson – saxophone
Rachel Musson is a saxophonist, improviser and composer living in London, UK. She is involved with a variety of improvisation projects, and works regularly with Mark Sanders, Pat Thomas, Hannah Marshall, Julie Kjaer, Corey Mwamba, Olie Brice, Alex Ward, Alex Hawkins amongst others. She features on several releases, including a nonet featuring her composition 'I Went This Way' (577 Records), two with Shifa, feat. Pat Thomas and Mark Sanders, (577 Records), one with Mark Sanders and John Edwards (Two Rivers Records), trio with Liam Noble and Mark Sanders (Babel), and Corey Mwamba (Takuroku).
"A free-improviser sensitive to melody-like narrative and dramatic pacing" – John Fordham, The Guardian
John Edwards – double bass
John Edwards is a true virtuoso whose staggering range of techniques and boundless musical imagination have redefined the possibility of the double bass and dramatically expanded its role, whether playing solo or with others. Perpetually in demand, he has played with Evan Parker, Sunny Murray, Derek Bailey, Joe McPhee, Lol Coxhill, Peter Brötzmann, Mulatu Astatke and many others.
"I think John Edwards is absolutely remarkable: there’s never been anything like him before, anywhere in jazz." - Richard Williams, The Blue Moment
N.O. Moore – electric guitar
I am a guitarist interested in electronic sound and timbral manipulation. I have played live with musicians including Eddie Prévost, John Butcher, Rachel Musson, Steve Noble, John Edwards, Alan Wilkinson, Dominic Lash, Roger Turner, Sue Lynch, Crystabel Riley, Rohan de Saram, Phil Durrant, and Steve Beresford.
Recent releases include Do Disturb (Matchless Recordings w/ Prévost, Wilkinson, Edwards, and Catchpole); Chord (Shrike w/ James O’Sullivan, Ross Lambert, and Prévost); Repetition Disguises (Scatterarchive w/ O’Sullivan); Under the Sun (Matchless Recordings w/ Musson, Brice, and Prévost); and Ciphers (Superpang w/ Daniel Kordik).
Steve Noble - drums
Steve Noble is London's leading drummer, a fearless and constantly inventive improviser whose super-precise, ultra-propulsive and hyper-detailed playing has galvanized encounters with Derek Bailey, Matthew Shipp, Ishmael Wadada Leo Smith, Stephen O'Malley, Joe McPhee, Alex Ward, Rhodri Davies and many, many more.
In the early eighties, Noble played with the Nigerian master drummer Elkan Ogunde, Rip Rig and Panic, Brion Gysin and the Bow Gamelan Ensemble, before going on to work with the pianist Alex Maguire and with Derek Bailey (including Company Weeks 1987, 89 and 90). He was featured in the Bailey's excellent TV series on Improvisation for Channel 4 based on his book ‘Improvisation; its nature and practise’. He has toured and performed throughout Europe, Africa and America and currently leads the groups N.E.W (with John Edwards and Alex Ward) and DECOY (with John Edwards and Alexander Hawkins).
