Duo with Trevor Watts

olietrev1

I’ve recently started working in a duo with the incredible Trevor Watts. Trevor was a key figure right at the very beginning of free improv, when he started playing with John Stevens and Paul Rutherford when they were all in the airforce in the late 50s. Since then he’s continually been making creative music at the highest level, as a member of the Spontaneous Music Ensemble and London Jazz Composers Orchestra , leader of groups including Amalgam and Moiré Music and in collaboration with the likes of Bobby Bradford, Derek Bailey, Don Cherry, Steve Lacy and Veryan Weston. It’s been an honour and a pleasure to work with him and count him as a friend.

We started working as a duo in 2018, and have collaborated with butoh dancer Yumino Seki, as well as appearing at the Jazz in the Round Emergence Festival. We are available for duo concerts and will be touring more in 2019 – please get in touch if interested

Here’s a couple pieces we recorded in November 2018 –
