Frakture SNAP: Out of it!
:Workshops in free improvisation, its nature and practice. are delivered roughly every 4-6 weeks. The sessions attract between 3-13 musicians with a wide range of experience and competencies in free improvisation: in sound.

They have a formal structure and are "led" by the workshop leader who is responsi...ble for the creative content and development of the session. All are welcome to the SNAP sessions especially newcomers to the musical form and practice but we believe the sessions will reward musicians of all abilities. SNAP:out of it, get out the house and come along.

Frakture DUOLOGY + 2 U.K. Tour 2009
Support: Swung Dash

Friday 6th November 2009
9.00pm £7 & £4 concs
The Everyman Third Room
5-9 Hope Street
Liverpool L1 9BH


Jazz legends Ted Daniel and Michael Marcus, regular collaborators with a virtual who's who on the New York scene, including Sonny Simmons, Billy Bang, Jameel Moondoc, Henry Thre...adgill, Jaki Byard and Andrew Cyrille, bring their Duology project to the UK in November.

Duology will be touring the United Kingdom performing in five cities, culminating at the London Jazz Festival. For this tour, Duology is very pleased to be joined by two of England’s very special and seasoned music veterans, Charlie Collins on percussion and John Jasnoch on guitar. This promises to be an exciting and musically rewarding collaboration.

TED DANIEL : trumpet & assorted brass
MICHAEL MARCUS : Bb Clarinet
JOHN JASNOCH : guitar & oud
CHARLIE COLLINS : drums

DUOLOGY: The concept of performing as a duet with trumpet and clarinet is exceptionally challenging and rare. Duology was not an impulsive idea, but one that developed naturally through Marcus’ and Daniel’s friendship and mutual musical aspirations. Since the beginning of Jazz, the presence of clarinet and trumpet have been in the frontline and an integral part of the music. Duology is continuing that tradition.

What the press says about Duology:

"continuum of invention" --- All About Jazz

"deliver a snapshot of jazz history" --- All About Jazz

"incipient beauty" --- All About Jazz

"Duology is one of the most exciting jazz partnerships we’ve run across in a long time. On their self-titled Boxholder debut, clarinetist Michael Marcus and brassman Ted Daniel - two unsung veterans with a lengthy shared history - demonstrates a finely tuned duo concept; writing duties are shared, and the improvisations display the kind of report and structural logic that could arise only from years of collaboration" --- Time Out New York.

Duology has releases out on Boxholder and SoulNote Records.

The brief is that within an hours drive of Manchester are many musicians from the free improvised music scene (and associated leaning) who generally do not meet and play on any significant basis - or so it seems. Somehow geographic, boundaries keep us apart, whereas in London the same distances either measured in miles /or time travelled doesn't keep artists apart; i.e. there is more of a mixing up and playing together.

Come to Centrifuge and enjoy the regions exciting fusion of voices, sounds and musics.
