IKLECTIK presents,

MUSSON/KJÆR/MARSHALL
This trio (cello, alto sax, tenor sax) is made up of three musicians firmly established in the London improvised music scene. As a trio they work as one unit improvising structures that may move through otherworldly, sonic landscapes, touching on contemporary chamber music or play with echoes of free jazz.
“Their set was a dynamic union of artists, breathing and thinking as one” M.Holland, Ears4Eyes.
“This is how good free chamber jazz should be. Intimate, dynamic, and driven by a mutual responsiveness bordering to telepathy”
- Hauknes, Salt Peanuts.
