SEAN BERGIN SONG MOB
Molla Sylla-vocals, Phil Minton-vocals, Maggie Nichols-vocals, Sean Bergin-alto saxophone, tenor saxophone, Tobias Delius-tenor saxophone, Frankie Douglas-guitar, Mary Oliver-violin, Alex Maguire-piano, Ernst Glerum-bass, Han Bennink-drums
Sean Bergin has always been inspired by the passion and rhythmic vitality of South African music. This version of ‘My Own Band’, Song MOB, is a new step in the development of the musically bilingual saxophonist and composer: xhosa & English, kwela & jazz. Three fearlessly improvising vocalists reveal the connection between African song and jazz standards.
