SUMMARY:Jazz North northern line: Early Nite
DESCRIPTION:Otto Willberg (double bass)/Harry Smith (tenor saxophone)/Alexander Tod (drums)\n\nA fiery take on the sax-bass-drums trio format\, favouring short and snappy tunes in the spirit of punk: free improvisation delivered with humour\, melody and fun.\n\n\n\n\n“The band has been described as “Imagine Eric Dolphy playing Stravinsky-esque circus music and you’ll get some inkling of the kind of music that Early Nite make.”\nFree Range\, Canterbury \n“The compositions are all written quickly\, and with no undue preciousness. We then try to learn the music in an equally quick way\, resulting in a high turnaround of material. We like the process of approaching concerts with fresh material each time\, which stops us from falling into the traps of repeating ourselves. A review from our performance at Smugglers Festival said that “Early Nite play rapid-fire off-kilter grooves with invention\, precision and a very dry wit.”  \n“Musically\, some of the influences that we might identify with would be Ornette Coleman’s Prime Time band\, Henry Threadgill’s trio AIR\, Fluxus performance pieces and DADA’s destructive and primal spirit. Perhaps the most integral aspect of Early Nite however\, is the necessity to have extreme amounts of fun during our performances\, and for that to translate to our audience.” \nA Manchester Jazz Festival event  \nFree – please drop in (subject to availability)

SUMMARY:Juliet the Moon

There will also be a display of letters\, programmes\, articles and other materials uncovered during the RNCM’s research into Manchester’s musical life in the First World War. \nFree – please drop in

SUMMARY:Fermata-with Arundo Quartet
DESCRIPTION:In today’s digital society\, people are constantly bombarded with information\, meaning that chances to switch off are almost impossible to find. Rising pressure online and offline has prompted an alarming decline in our mental health\, with one in four people now experiencing a mental health problem as often as every 12 months. By bringing together mindfulness and music\, The Arundo Quartet have found a winning combination to help you successfully navigate whatever each day throws at you. They have assembled a programme of carefully selected minimalist works\, arranged for the quartet\, to create a mood that will be optimum for encouraging a relaxed route into mindful breathing exercises. They will perform these\, whilst playing pre-recorded entry level breathing exercises through a speaker. Swing by and listen to the music\, participate in the exercise or simply have a nap whilst enjoying a breather from the intensity of daily life.
