We are thrilled to welcome Alexander von Schlippenbach's legendary Globe Unity Orchestra to Cafe OTO for a three-day residency coinciding with the group's 60th anniversary!One of the oldest and most important free-jazz orchestras in the world, the group have been on our wishlist since we first opened. We're hugely excited to finally host them in the venue, with a 15-piece line-up including Evan Parker, Paul Lytton, Rudi Mahall, Daniel Erdmann, Axel Dörner and Aki Takase (playing four-hands piano with Schlippenbach, who also will be conducting). Big band residencies have provided some of the standout moments in OTO's history, from the Sun Ra Arkestra to Peter Brotzmann's Chicago Tentet, and these three nights should be no exception.
