Paul Medley and Gero Kempf, both active members of the Oxford Improvisors, first met there, in one of the most thoughtful ensembles cultivating large group improvisation.
Soon, both of them found common interest in exploring improvisation as a duo, with encouraging results in early first performances.

What seemingly works out well is the mutual interest in bringing to use the full range of two of the most versatile and underrated acoustic instruments, the bass clarinet and the double bass. Style wise, expect an eclectic mix of western, eastern, southern and northern influences on the more quiet, lively and curious side of things.
In this Performance they’re going to team up with zzzxx, where Martin Hackett, another Oxford Improvisors and Duo Partner of both Paul and Gero independently, serves as a known character and entry point into the trio VfGH .
