Roz Harding presents W-A-V-E
featuring Roz Harding sax
Mike Outram guitar
Jim Bashford drums
‘Inspirational’ and ‘immense’ – Jazzwise magazine
‘W-A-V-E – WHEN ART VALIDATES EMOTION - 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.’
W-A-V-E present original music blurring the edges of composition and improvisation. Fresh and individual sounds due to the deep concept behind this project, the unusual trio line up of sax, guitar and drums and the soundscape of Mike Outram let loose with his collection of electric effects alongside Roz Harding and Jim Bashford forging their own tonal effects, rhythms and textures acoustically.
‘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. The Vortex jazz crowd loved it and W-A-V-Es appearance here was an unqualified success. Their future looks exciting.’ Martin King – Smiths Academy Informer
Catch W-A-V-E tonight before they head off to play London Jazz Festival.
