Over 2 nights At London’s Jazz Cafe, I showcased 2 very different impromptu, freestyle, totally improvisational bands. Both featured the incredible Andy Gangadeen (Massive Attack, the Bays, Rudimental, Clean Bandit, Gordon City) on drums. But that’s where the similarities ended. The first night was music focused and light on lyricism, featuring Steve Lawson (world renowned solo bass genius) on Bass, and Gary Lucas (Captain Beefheart, Jeff Buckley) on guitar. Night 2 was more lyricism focused and featured MC Disraeli and MC Leen on vocal duties, Arthur Lea on keys, Bela Trix on double bass, and Rob Lewis on cello.
