in collaboration with VPRO Radio

Veryan Weston-piano, Luc Ex-bass, Hannah Marshall-cello, vocals, Ingrid Laubrock-tenor sax, soprano sax, vocals, Tony Buck-drums, Mandy Drummond-viola, vocals

Sol6 creates improvised chamber music with the energy of a punk band. The sextet is a new chapter in the collaboration between British jazz pianist Veryan Weston and bassist Luc Ex, known from the eccentric Dutch punk group The Ex. They played together in 4Walls and Sol5. Sol6 combines new compositions by the band members with works by Erik Satie, Charles Ives and Burt Bacharach. Sol6 has an unusual line-up, including the sought-after cellist Hannah Marshall, viola player Mandy Drummond (Michael Brecker, Courtney Pine), saxophone talent Ingrid Laubrock and drum magician Tony Buck (Peril, The Necks).
