Rocking Chair
Event 18 • Saturday 13 August 2011, 2.30pm • Venue: Christ College Stage
Rocking Chair occupy the free range between jazz and rock. Every band member contributes zealously to the creative process, combining the lyricism of Radiohead with the creative energy of Jim Black’s Alas No Axis. They’re one of the most exciting bands on the contemporary French scene, and their sound – enormous!
‘From beginning to end, crystallizing from time to time into those strong and obsessive melodies, long or minimalist, whose disenchanted nature give the album a poignant and unified sound.’ Choc Jazz, Jazz Magazine/Jazzman
