Adventures In Sound at the 2012 London Jazz Festival

Jez Nelson presents highlights from Adventures in Sound, an afternoon of free improvisation at the 2012 London Jazz Festival. Including Golden Age of Steam and Peter Brotzmann.

Jez Nelson presents highlights from Adventures In Sound, an afternoon of improvisation curated by Jazz on 3 at the London Jazz Festival. The event features short sets from established acts and also mixes them up into one-off collaborations. This year's line-up includes a legend of the free-improvisation scene - no-holds-barred German saxophonist Peter Br枚tzmann, appearing with several members of his Tentet. Also on stage are Golden Age of Steam, one of the UK's most innovative bands of recent years, exploring spacey textures and intricately constructed grooves. There will be a strong French presence too: pianist Eve Risser brings a variety of home-made devices and piano preparations to the party, while the vibes-led MeTal-O-PHoNe combine gamelan-inspired textures with hard-edged electronics.
