Ben Carr - Tenor Saxophone
Leigh Barker - Bass
Phil Collings - Drums

This trio’s contemporary territory is wide-ranging, from bop to funk, with Carr’s most recent inspiration coming from Steve Coleman, whom he studied with in Europe. This performance will feature a set of new compositions developed over the last 2 years with this new trio. Odd metres, speed changes and extreme intervals are a focus for the music and the musicians. The compositions are a documentation of the progress this group has made with these concepts.
