BASSDRUMBONE

Trombone, double bass and drums: it remains an unusual combination, but which BassDrumBone uses to create endlessly fascinating music. The three band members improvise with superb ease and joy. Trombone player Ray Anderson, double bassist Mark Helias and drummer Gerry Hemingway have been collaborating in this incidental ensemble for over 34 years, keeping its curious combination of jazz and chamber music going. ‘Exceptionally good music, fearlessly played and tightly coordinated’ (Cadence).
