Faraway Trio:

Saraswati-Benzaiten Quartet:
The Saraswati-Benzaiten Quartet consists of the South Indian veena and the Japanese Koto and Shakuhachi. Iyer brothers, Ramnath Iyer and Gopinath Iyer, on the veena, Brandon Lee on koto and Adrian Sheriff on shakuhachi will present common melodies of both systems showcasing the strong musical and spiritual connection between India and Japan while highlighting the differences in the musical approach.
Rustik Chairs:
Tom Stewart-Toner - Guitar, Michael McNab - Drums, Stephen Hornby Double-bass.
Avant-garde renditions of standards and traditionals, fusing Free Jazz influences (Ornette, Dolphy, Monk, Cecil Taylor, Albert Ayler etc.) with highly personalised expressive indulgence! Tom, Steve and Michael shake, bend and break these beloved compositions with reckless interactive abandon, relentless motivic repetition, joyful bombast and, yes, occasional restraint.
After playing together regularly (mainly in Stephen's garage) for over a decade we're finally putting out an album! It's so good can't wait for ya'll to hear it!
