| Recycle Collective First Anniversary Special This November is the first anniversary of the beginning of the Recycle Collective. The first anniversary boasts another stunning line-up as solo bassist and Recycle Collective curator Steve Lawson is joined by singer Cleveland atkiss and pianist Huw Warren on November 15th at Darbucka World Music Bar, London. Both Cleveland and Huw have been mainstays on the UK jazz scene for almost 20 years, celebrated for their inventive compositions and stunning improvisational ability. Cleveland's recent focus on solo voice and live looping performances has added yet another layer to an already multifaceted career, ranging from jazz to opera, hip-hop to ambient electronica. Without doubt one of the most talented and versatile vocalists the UK has ever produced. Huw Warren's skills are equally diverse - whether free improvising with german double bassist Peter Herbert, playing Hymns from the Welsh Revival with Lleuwen Steffan, or writing music for the Scottish and Welsh Chamber Orchestras, through to accompanying singers June Tabor and Christine Tobin, he's renowned for always playing the right thing at the right time. Effortlessly tasteful and prodigiously gifted, Huw's presence at the Recycle Collective is very warmly anticipated. Fresh back from a solo tour of Italy and Germany, Steve Lawson has steered the Recycle Collective to being one of London's finest monthly live music events. Combining his own looped and layered bass work with the contributions of myriad fellow recyclists. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Jazz News :: home page |
