K2 est un duo d'improvisation composé de Kayla Milmine (saxophone soprano) et Jonathan Kay (saxophones soprano et ténor, esraj, shakuhachi, cor tibétain). Leur collaboration explore les pouvoirs bruts et transformateurs de la musique, créant des rituels sonores qui sont autant d'espaces nourris par l'indétermination, où les frontières ne sont pas seulement franchies, mais effacées grâce à une improvisation transculturelle et à une approche sonore résolument nomade.

Loved loved loved the Glasgow Improvisers Orchestra & Orphy Robinson gig in St Luke’s this afternoon. GIO are different every time I see them, but each time it’s always uplifting and playful and energising: music with an all-encompassing, welcoming heart.

Next year is their 25th anniversary and they have plans…

#GlasgowImprovisersOrchestra #OrphyRobinson #GlasgowJazzFestival #ImprovisedMusic #FreeImprovisation #LiveMusicGlasgow @improvisedmusic

Heading to Glasgow for the Glasgow Improvisers Orchestra & Black Top gig at St Luke’s in the East End. Sadly, it looks like Pat Thomas can no longer play now, but I’m sure it’ll still be a great show.

#GlasgowImprovisersOrchestra #BlackTop #OrphyRobinson #PatThomas #GlasgowJazzFestival #ImprovisedMusic #FreeImprovisation #LiveMusicGlasgow @improvisedmusic

Here is this wonderful gig at St Luke’s in Glasgow from June last year: the Glasgow Improvisers Orchestra with Pat Thomas, released today on the ever brilliant, ever productive ScatterArchive. Celebrating Monk is everything I remember about this show and so much more.

Great to be able to relive the experience in a beautiful recording of the whole event by Jim McEwan.

Marilyn Crispell is, as usual, on fire in this June 2023 live session at the Hungry Brain in Chicago, but the familiar trio of Stein, Smith & Shead are also superb. The icing on the cake is that the cover is a Cy Twombly painting.
