Babel dates to look out for next month:
13 January Dominic Lash Quartet
Bassist Dominic Lash has recently relocated to Bristol after a year in New York. The Guardian has written of his "explosive bass-strumming" and the Newcastle Journal of his "endless efforts to veer left of every known note or chord".
He formed his trio in 2009 with rising star pianist Alexander Hawkins (whose recent work has reached a "dazzling new apex" according to Downbeat) and drummer Javier Carmona (Ingrid Laubrock, Kicking Louise).
In 2011 the band was expanded into a quartet with multi-reed player Ricardo Tejero (Ensemble Progressivo, Triatone), which toured Spain in the summer of 2012.
"A real surprise ... expressionistic moments were followed by passages of a more introverted and descriptive mood". (Diario del AltoAragón)
