The Space Impro season kicks off at Sexyland with a full scale international evening featuring Perselí, the brand new trio Mills / Stadhouders / López-Palacios Navarro and the amazing French saxophonist Sakina Abdou.
PERSELÍ
Perselí is a trio of four voices: Fuensanta sings and plays the double bass, José plays the saxophone, and Alistair plays the trumpet. They found each other in their respect for vulnerability, sensitivity towards sound and pursue a constant path of discovery. Their mix of influences translate into narratives that develop unhurriedly, as an imitation of flowers, leaves and life without anxiety. Through the set, you can expect to hear improvisedpassages that resemble that of a modern chamber group, original songs that pull from a mixture of folk music & soundscapes that imitate nature and our surroundings. The musicians improvise, write music and poetry, and never fight about it. Their debut album was released in August 2022 together with Minaret Records.
Fuensanta Méndez – voice & double bass | José Soares – alto saxophone | Alistair Payne – trumpet

Well-known musicians in the European scene of the experimental improv / free jazz play together in this trio for the first time. All three can be characterised by their uncompromising way of playing and eclectic approach of music. This is going to be something!
