FOOD is the duo of saxophonist Iain Ballamy and
percussionist Thomas Strønen. Formerly a quartet, featuring
Mats Eilertsein and Arve Henriksen, their work now highlights
the delicate balance between Ballamy’s lyrical sense of
melody and Strønen’s weave of intricate rhythmic and
electronic soundscapes. FOOD foster a unique environment
for true improvisation and regularly invite like-minded artists
to join this dynamic musical dialogue. In this performance
they are joined by genre-defying guitarist and band leader
Eivind Aarset - collaborator with the likes of Nils Petter
Molvaer, Jan Bang and recently Andy Sheppard.
The opening set for this double bill comes from Norwegian
guitar prodigy Stian Westerhus, recipient of the prestigious
JazZtipend award. Expect raw expression, a technique that
stretches the boundaries of the instrument and a stunning
melodic instinct.
“Welcome to the new century of improvised music.”
