A night featuring two improvising duets; namely Charlie Beresford and Sonia Hammond, and Barry "Bazmatronic" Edwards and Lyndon Owen.BERESFORD/HAMMOND - Guitar & CelloQuoting the Jazz critic Ian Mann reviewing their "Science of Snow" album, they “bring true beauty to the art of free improvisation, once again producing an intimate, accessible and strangely beautiful album to both intrigue and beguile the listener. The filmic quality of the work is very much rooted in the restless beauty, and at times unforgiving nature, of the Welsh Marches where they are both based.”BAZMATRONICS/OWEN - Guitar/Aqua Lung woodwindIn contrast a power duo exploring the dynamics of free experimentalism."Barry Edwards' tone on guitar recalls John McLaughlin's great tone on 'Devotion' ... What makes this date most impressive is that is completely free of any of jazz/rock or fusion excess that plagued that music way back when. Another winner from the deep vaults of FMR." - Bruce Lee Gallanter, Downtown Music Gallery."Owen probes deeply, adding the kind of avant garde flourishes that befit a musician who names the great German sax improviser Peter Brotzmann as one of his musical heroes."
