Since then they have collaborated in numerous projects, including a trio with Omar Sosa and most recently, in Rudolph’s Moving Pictures Ensemble. Their music is grounded in the American improvisational tradition while embracing languages, instrumentation, and cosmologies of Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and the African Diaspora. Decades of performance and research into these music cultures have given them the tools to create unique improvisations.

Mopomoso
Presenting the best in improvised musicCharlie Collins / John Jasnoch duo
Following a 30 year association which, individually and collectively, has taken in Clock DVA, country & western, Company Week and the Sonny Simmons Quartet, Jasnoch and Collins have focused on the 12-string guitar and a basic drum set for their duo. Sheffield’s finest!Alexander Hawkins
Nominated a ‘Musician of the Year’ in All About Jazz New York for 2010, and as the #1 keyboardist, and #5 pianist of the year by Spain’s ‘El Intruso’, pianist Alex Hawkins is a remarkable musician deservedly making waves. Here he plays a rare solo set giving him complete freedom to showcase his considerable abilities. A real treat!Luc Houtkamp / John Russell duo
As a composer and saxophonist, Luc’s musical goal is to establish a continuum between improvisation and composition in which the difference between the two dissolves.
