2. At 8:30pm sharp on 20 June 2007:

a trio of trios
·        Evan Parker (saxophone)/ Marcio Mattos (cello)/ John Edwards (double bass)
·        Rhodri Davies (harp)/ Ross Lambert (acoustic guitar)/ Matt Samson (laptop)
·        Benedict Drew (laptop)/ Louisa Martin (laptop)/ Seymour Wright (alto sax)

Three newly convened trios tapping historical and musical linkages.  Parker, Mattos and Edwards have worked together in larger groups but not a trio. Davies’s first experience of improvised music allegedly came from hearing Lambert and Samson’s early 1990s duo ‘orange‘ in Sheffield . The laptops and saxophone trio explores Drew and Martin’s connection through the trio portable (with Davies), and Wright/Drew’s history as a duo.
