About
The popular Norwegian-Czech free jazz quarter NOCZ is coming to London to perform at the popular Spice of Life on 22nd October. Presenting energetic musicianship and a distinctive dynamism mixing strictly scored passages and freer ones with expressive melodies, the ensemble's emphasis is on rhythm and collective improvisation.
