Frakture Concerts presented Sonny Simmons Quartet & Zukanican 07.05.2010

"The kind of gig where you can’t believe that the musicians will be able to find fresh and exciting ideas after the first few demented bars -

but the miracle repeats itself again and again until the end" was just one audience comment the last time this astonishing group played U.K . For this special U.K. tour and BBC broadcast he will again be joined by members of his U.K. quartet.

SONNY SIMMONS : alto sax, cor anglais
DEREK SAW : trumpet, valve trombone
JOHN JASNOCH : guitar, oud
CHARLIE COLLINS : drums, cajon

ZUKANICAN
PHIL LUCKING: trumpets
JAMES PAGELLA: drums and percussion
HARRY SUMNALL: synths and percussion
TOM SUMNALL: bass

.. their free-flowing improvisations, tasty Krautrock grooves and jazz flourishes immediately paint a huge aural canvas with thick layers of colors borrowed from just about everyone from Coltrane and Sun Ra to The Soft Machine and Bablicon.
