Lineup and details for Chris Corsano + Paul Dunmall Duo Men Diamler Timberwolf on Wednesday 23rd April 2008

New Jersey-born CHRIS CORSANO is fast gaining a reputation as one of the world’s most inventive percussionists – recently dubbed by the WIRE as "the hottest drummer on the planet".  The artists he has collaborated with reads like a veritable who’s-who list of the American alternative scene – Sonic Youth, Sunburned Hand Of The Man, Six Organs Of Admittance, Paul Flaherty, Mick Flower, Jim O’ Rourke, Nels Cline (Wilco)and Jandek.  He has also recorded an album with UK Jazz Giant Evan Parker, and most recently, become Bjork’s drummer of choice – contributing to her 2007 album Voltaand accompanying her on her world tour.
 
 
"the most original drummer playing in New York"The Village Voice

 "Corsano is one of the most energetic players out there, relentless yet sensitive to what is going on around him - He rumbles and tumbles on the toms, rides the cymbal down to Hell, and is not shy of stepping down whenever the mood demands" - All Music Guide

"For his part, Corsano is one of the most sensitive drummers I have ever heard, sensitivity of course not to be confused with restraint. He knows exactly when to play where, and that includes moments where the real necessity is to conjure up the sound of an approaching militia" –  Dusted Magazine.

Englishman PAUL DUNMALL is one of the most respected and uncompromising reed players on the International jazz/ improvised music scene.  In a career spanning over thirty years, he has played with the diverse likes of Alice Coltrane, Johnny "Guitar" Watson, & Danny Thompson.  Capable on a dazzling array or reed instruments, he has played free  improv with likes of Mujician, Hamid Drake, Barry Guy, Mark Sanders & John Adams.  He memorably played with legendary bass player Henry Grimes at Xposed Club in Cheltenhamin 2007.


"One of the most accomplished reedists on the planet" - Jazz Weekly

"...eclectic, capable on several instruments and full of wonder for the improvised form" - All About Jazz

"...robust and heavy-hitting performer who has gone on to concentrate largely on free improvisation without sacrificing a rigorous melodic logic, a sparing lyricism and the technique to drop in on bebop occasionally" - The Guardian
