Dynamic saxophonist & multi-instrumentalist Oscar Lavën joins forces with heavyweight locals Jonathan Crayford, Mostyn Cole and Thomas Friggens, for a special concert to launch CJC’s new Winter series at Pah Homestead, with The Arts House Trust.
They will extrapolate on a selection of original music from Lavën's album 'Questions in Red', recently released on Thick Records to positive international acclaim, and some music written especially for this brand-new ensemble.
Lavën has played with many notable artists such as John Beasley's MONKestra, Steve Gadd, James Carter, Dave Weckl, Peter Erskine, Clay Jenkins and more. His style draws on his eclectic musical background, constructing a unique accent built from a melange of early swing music, New Orleans traditional, classical music, blues, 50s Rock and Roll, and a healthy obsession with mid-century saxophonists like John Coltrane, Dexter Gordon and Ornette Coleman. Don't miss this unique meeting of minds for one night only.
Featuring:
Oscar Lavën - Saxophone
Jonathan Crayford - Piano
Mostyn Cole - Bass
Thomas Friggens - Drums
