Label favorite UK/Belgian KODIAN TRIO is celebrating its 10th anniversary. Formed during a dazzling quartet concert (featuring John Dikeman) at Cafe Oto in London, the trio has since evolved into a working band that guarantees intense free improvisation and free jazz, with a touch of punk thrown in.
The trio has released three studio albums and five live albums, the latter of which clearly demonstrate that this is primarily a live band meant to be seen, heard, and felt.
For this 10th anniversary, they’ve set up a beautiful evening at the King Alfred Phoenix Theatre in London.

KODIAN TRIO is Colin Webster (alto sax), Andrew Lisle (drums) and Dirk Serries (electric guitar)

Guests that evening are QUARTZ SAND (Cath Roberts and Kate Carr) and the trio of ALAN WILKINSON, STEVE NOBLE and OREN MARSHALL.

Quartz Sand is the duo of Kate Carr (electronics, objects) and Cath Roberts (electronics). Long form textural explorations: horizontal organisation of interlocking crystals, fossiliferous drift, downward movement of rock debris. The album ‘Stratigraphy’ is coming soon on Flaming Pines.

Alan Wilkinson/Steve Noble/Oren Marshall. Formed relatively recently, but with musical relationships spanning decades (all three were featured in the Company projects of the great guitarist Derek Bailey in the 80s and 90s), Alan Wilkinson on saxes and clarinets, Oren Marshall on tuba, and Steve Noble on drums, are three of the most experienced and versatile improvisers currently active London.
