Event 48
Stonephace Stabbins
– Roland Stage, Christ College
Inspired by the Spiritual/Soul Jazz movement and in particular by Alice Coltrane and Pharoah Sanders’ collaborations, Larry Stabbins’ new project features Mercury-nominated pianist Zoe Rahman and Crispin ‘Spry’ Robinson from ’90s jazz/rap band Galliano. This is essentially the acoustic rhythm section from Jerry Dammers’ Spatial AKA Orchestra, so expect a synthesis of exploratory jazz with groove, loads of percussion and eastern modes along with ‘transcendental euphoria’.
‘Supremely soulful…for 30 years Larry Stabbins has been the UK’s own Pharoah Sanders.’ Independent on Sunday
