Saturday 26th September, 7:30-11:30pm

The Goods Shed

Live performance

13 piece ensemble with 9 saxophones, led by Will Gregory, explore the canon of influential American composer Moondog (aka The Viking of Sixth Avenue), the blind American musician and composer, who influenced everyone from Leonard Bernstein to Philip Glass.

In 1994, 5 years before his death, the blind musician, composer, and performer Moondog collaborated with London Saxophonic, recording Sax pax for a Pax – an album blending classical & jazz. The album marked Moondog's re-emergence into the American jazz market

In this special performance, London Saxophonic bring these extraordinary compositions back to life. Opening tonight is innovative saxophonist/composer Robert Stillman (The Smile) who fuses American Folk Music, Jazz, Minimalism, and experimental electronic music with improvised cassette tape symphonies. Awesome, playful and virtuosic. Plus, DJ set in the bar after from David Wrench, the innovative Welsh record producer and musician, who has worked with everyone from David Byrne to Blur and Frank Ocean.
