“This is going to be music like none you’ve heard before unless you dream in red & green.”
Two bespoke spontaneous compositions divided by an interval.
Set 1. Ash Dies Back And Goes Forward (40 minutes)
Set 2. Non-Blues For Burton Greene** (45 minutes)
The Occasional Quartet plays together:
“To create fully formed spontaneous compositions – with melodies, rhythms and harmonies which, although not predetermined, form naturally out of a common bond and understanding. It seeks to be both beautiful and accessible whilst at the same time retaining a strong element of mutual discovery – something that is present in all great music. Individually these musicians continue to be active in a wide variety of musical genres, but they are not simply a mixed bag. Rather they draw on classical music, roots and jazz, as well as the avant-garde; all with the intention of aspiring to play great music, and making it a unique occasion.”
