A collection of compositions…emotionally charged and dynamic…exploring the peaks and depths of our experiences. Expect soft and lyrical to explosive sounds; brought to life in jazz trio form.
Roz Harding saxophone, Mike Outram guitar and Jim Bashford drums launched project WAVE in February 2013 at St Ives Jazz Club. The club declared it a resounding success and WAVE continued to gig the South West. In September project WAVE reached out to The Vortex Jazz Club, taking their sounds to London. Another outstanding night with a buzzing crowd wholeheartedly embracing this music.
"Submersed in these pieces of music as composer and performer it’s tough to describe our sounds but I do believe we three can offer a performance of truly authentic, thoughtful music blurring the lines between composition, improvisation, groove and free-styles. We’ll give you everything we’ve got!" – Roz Harding
"What really impresses is the way the group works together as a single entity with a common musical purpose, a focus on the material itself. Roz’s tunes, such as Fifty-two fifty, If you could, Sun wish and Yesterday I was on time, have many angular rhythmic and harmonic moments but remain accessible to listeners. The transition from composed to improvised sections was often seamless and the whole thing sounded very fresh and imaginative, free from the bebop clichés and Trane-isms which – liberating though they are – can actually straightjacket many a fine player.
Tonight’s performance will include guest musicians from Exeter College Music Academy and Plymouth University.
