Three groups from the 2006 festival.

The following quartet came from Brussels just for the festival - JEAN-MICHEL VAN SCHOUWBURG (voice), ADELHEID SIEUW (flutes, voice), JAN HUIB NAS (guitar), and GUY STRALE (clarinet, piano, percussion). The final quartet comprises four veteran London-based improvisers who have been part of the London scene for decades - GARRY TODD (tenor saxophone), NIGEL COOMBES (violin), NICK STEPHENS (double bass), and TONY MARSH (percussion). There may not be any 'household names' on this CD, but all the musicians surely deserve to be much better known. 76 minutes.
