A
gig
held at The Bristol Fringe
on Tuesday 7th June. The event starts at 20:00.
FITR is delighted to bring you their penultimate gig of their spring 2022. We'll be welcoming an incredibly original duo of two of the most creative musician in UK new music, together with the FITR house quartet playing Monk, Wayne Shorter and Joe Henderson!
Sorana Santos - Voice/Objects/Guitar/Piano
Joe Wright - Saxophone & Electronics
Sorana Santos and Joe Wright present the first in a new series of experiments responding to spoken/written text. The duo will improvise around a collection of songs/texts they’ve compiled for tonight’s performance, responding through melody, sound and the creation of interactive electronic systems.
The project draws on the duo’s long history of collaborating on each other’s music, which has blended contemporary songwriting, sonic experimentation, improvisation, and live electronics.
Alex Merritt - Tenor Saxophone
Nick Malcolm - Trumpet
Henrik Jensen - Double Bass
Dave Smith - Drums
The FITR house band return for their summer outing! Focusing on lesser known compositions from the core jazz repertoire, with a particular emphasis on pieces by Thelonious Monk and Wayne Shorter, this will be a set of contemporary jazz played at the highest level; plenty of swing, groove and interaction coming from a joyous celebration of the jazz tradition.
