Over 2 nights At London's Jazz Cafe, I showcased 2 very different impromptu, freestyle, totally improvisational bands. Both featured the incredible Andy Gangadeen (Massive Attack, the Bays, Rudimental, Clean Bandit, Gordon City) on drums. But that's where the similarities ended. The first night was music focused and light on lyricism, featuring Steve Lawson (world renowned solo bass genius) on Bass, and Gary Lucas (Captain Beefheart, Jeff Buckley) on guitar. Night 2 was more lyricism focused and featured MC Disraeli and MC Leen on vocal duties, Arthur Lea on keys, Bela Trix on double bass, and Rob Lewis on cello. 

The Dream Team Sessions

Completely improvised track featuring the amazing

Andy Gangadeen: Drums
Steve Lawson:      Bass
Gary Lucas:           Guitar
Beardyman:           Keys and vocals 

"Where the wind blows, I will go" -  improvised track (One Album per Hour - the Dream Team Sessions)

Quite simply the greatest freestyle of all time. Leen is not human. 

This special edition of "One Album per Hour" featured some of my favourite people all freestyling musically and lyrically, with me shouting instructions in their ear pieces from the back of the stage.
