The 9th March Dr Steve's Jazz Surgery will feature Tromans away from his usual place at the piano and focusing on his work on the melodica, alongside the double bassist Benedict Muirhead & the drummer Tymoteusz Jozwiak. Tromans has composed an evening of new music specially for the occasion, drawing influence from John Zorn's Masada, J. S. Bach's organ works, Augustus Pablo's Jamaican dub, and Ornette Coleman's The Empty Foxhole project.

The philosophical themes explored thru discussion and music will revolve around issues of authenticity in art and life, and how music provides a means of moving beyond the boundaries that divide us unnecessarily in all that we do as fellow inhabitants on the third planet from the star we call the sun.

Steve Tromans - melodica and philosophical discussions
Benedict Muirhead - double bass
Tymoteusz Jozwiak - drums

8.30pm start, all welcome!
