From NYC, a unique opportunity to hear a highly individual and creative musician from the cutting edge of the global improvised music scene. Tenor sax player Ellery Eskelin has performed all over the world, a passionate and committed musician, with a wonderful sound. He visits us with two of the UK's foremost groundbreaking musicians, both with international reputations; guitarist Chris Sharkey (TrioVD, Acoustic Ladyland and Bilbao Syndrome) and pianist Matthew Bourne; a unique virtuoso mixing a delicate touch with often fiery improvisation. An intense experience, and a genuine special event for us at The Lescar; world class improvised music. "...Eskelin continues to be the most inventive American tenor player in creative music." (Down Beat) "Eskelin's warm sound and flowing melodic invention may be the first things to catch a listener's attention. He has one of the great tenor sounds..." (The New York City Jazz Record - December 2013)
