The return of the Near Jazz Experience and Anthony Moore.
Cross Can’s rhythm section with Roland Kirk, Motown & the Third Stream and you’ll get close to where The NJE is coming from. That rhythm section is Madness bassist Mark Bedford & former Higsons drummer Simon Charterton. Terry Edwards plays saxes (two at once), trumpet and melodica. The result? Electrifyingly groovy funk/world/rock music played on jazz instruments.
Anthony Moore is a British experimental music composer, performer and producer. He was a founding member of the band Slapp Happy, worked with Henry Cow and has made a number of solo albums, including cult classics Flying Doesn’t Help and World Service. Anthony & friends will be performing their unique repertoire of ‘rhyzome’ and blues; Anthony Moore, piano & electronics, with Richard Moore, violin, Olie Brice, double bass & Tullis Rennie, trombone.
