(Press release). John Dikeman (saxophone); Pat Thomas (piano); John Edwards (double bass); Steve Noble (drums, percussion)
Supergroups are not a riskless endeavour - but when they’re made up of longtime friends and master improvisers, they tend to work.
Highly established young American saxophonist John Dikeman is accompanied by a group of UK based music masters and all four musicians are regular performers at the internationally acclaimed Cafe OTO in London.
John Dikeman last appeared for the Jazz North East ‘Going Dutch’ event in 2017, Pat Thomas has visited The Literary and Philosophical Society on a number of recent occasions for Newcastle Festival of Jazz and Improvised Music, John Edwards and Steve Noble have also visited Newcastle over the years including performances with other highly reputable saxophonists including Peter Brötzmann, Evan Parker and Binker Golding.
John Dikeman is an American saxophonist currently residing in Amsterdam. Drawing inspiration from a wide range of sources, John's playing runs the gamut of improvised music and technique, ranging from reductionist extended technique based improvisation to full throttle free jazz. The underlying characteristic of his music is an unnerving commitment, a total abandonment to sound.
This event comes hot on the heels of Jazz North East’s sell out at The Globe last week, so advance booking is recommended, it promises to be an incredible night of high quality contemporary free jazz.
