Hackett / Grundy / Lash / Park - Quartet (03/05/2015)

Furiously collaborative in their nature and also two-thirds of The Rolling Calf trio, Elaine Mitchener /Neil Charles grace Supernormal for a special edition of the Charles-Mitchener duo setup. Titled ‘SPEAK[ING] OUT’, Charles’ double bass improvisations and electronic textures will form the soundbed for Mitchener’s radical vocal interpretations of political texts and poems.

The Rolling Calf is a black power trio led by vocalist Elaine Mitchener, with core members saxophonist Jason Yarde and bassist Neil Charles. The trio’s performances combine texts by revolutionary African-disaporic thinkers with collective electroacoustic improvisation to strike a new bridgehead for the black British avant garde.

Second half
The Rolling Calf trio performs a programme titled Myths And Dreams in which they invoke African- diasporic texts to access an otherworldly surrealist realm of cosmic ritualistic ‘shredding’. The programme will draw on texts from poems by: Aimé Césaire, Kamau Braithwaite, Una Marson, Sun Ra, Cecil Taylor, Jay Bernard and 
M NourbeSe Philip.

'Let me dislodge them finally like a night rainy with howler monkey cries from my chest as tender as fly agaric' (Aimé Césaire)
