At an empty Café Oto during COVID Lockdown in April 2021, three of London’s foremost improvisers recorded seven tracks which reflect their inventive approach to free improvisation. Building on Steve Nobel and Yoni Silver’s previous work together as a duo on HOME, they were joined by the inexhaustible talents of double bass player John Edwards. Steve and John are no strangers to each other and, with Yoni’s talents for invention with the bass clarinet, the trio have pieced together a freshly textural and teasingly explorational set of tracks. Noble's powerful and shape-shifting percussion underpinning and interlocking with Edwards’s bass, pushing the sound into fresh territories.; Silver’s masterful and ever innovative clarinet weaving and breaking new ground for the trio to explore.
