As we’ve been counting down to this exceptional event, next Sunday pianist MARTINA VERHOEVEN celebrates and invites an exquisite bunch of British improvisers to join us in this ‘big band’ constellation at Cafe Oto. Showdown is at 2pm. Her comrades for this free impro event are ANDREW LISLE (drums), BENEDICT TAYLOR (viola), CATH ROBERTS (baritone sax), CHARLOTTE KEEFFE (trumpet, flugelhorn), COLIN WEBSTER (alto sax), DANIEL THOMPSON (guitar), DIRK SERRIES (guitar), TOM JACKSON (clarinet) and TOM WARD (flute, bass clarinet).
