13-piece ensemble with nine saxophones bring composer Moondog’s works to life
13 piece ensemble with 9 saxophones, led by Will Gregory, explore the canon of influential American composer Moondog (aka The Viking of Sixth Avenue), the blind American musician and composer, who influenced everyone from Leonard Bernstein to Philip Glass.
In 1994, 5 years before his death, Moondog collaborated with London Saxophonic, recording Sax pax for a Pax – an album blending classical & jazz.
In this special performance, London Saxophonic bring these extraordinary compositions back to life. Opening tonight is innovative saxophonist/composer Robert Stillman (The Smile) who fuses American Folk Music, Jazz, Minimalism, and experimental electronic music with improvised cassette tape symphonies. Awesome, playful and virtuosic. Plus, DJ set in the bar after from David Wrench, the innovative Welsh record producer and musician, who has worked with everyone from David Byrne to Blur and Frank Ocean.
