Chaos Theory presents more internationally acclaimed musicians who'll have a loud argument about what 'jazz' even means today.
-----------------------
The Geordie Approach
Possibly the oldest secret from three internationally renowned musicians who've been working together for over ten years.
Featuring acclaimed Leeds guitarist and producer Chris Sharkey (Acoustic Ladyland/Shiver/TrioVD), and Norwegian musicians Petter Frost Fadnes and Ståle Birkeland, best known for playing sax and bass respectively in the Stavanger Kitchen Orchestra.
This uncompromising and experimental trio pursues music within loose improvisational structures, adding a surprisingly broad range of flavours to their overall sound world. The trio has a reputation for adapting and utilizing their performance space in an extremely effective and engaging manner. Birkeland, Frost Fadnes and Sharkey produce musical elements that often are contradictory in shape, moving between melody and noise, ambient grooves and abstract textures.
They have performed across Europe, Japan and the UK in churches, art galleries, improvisation clubs, squats, abandoned tobacco houses, jazz festivals, concert halls and flamenco clubs. Each performance is a unique experience.
"Making some of the most exciting noise anywhere in the country" - Jazzwise
Its creative intent - as adventurous as it is challenging - should find favor with fans of alternative music of any stripe." - All About Jazz

A Sweet Niche
We hail the return of this jazz punk trio to The Jazz Market after a seriously impressive performance in 2013. Made up of writers Keir Cooper (Don Quijote) and Oliver Sellwood (Knifeworld), with the recent addition of drummer Tim Doyle (Big Beat Manifesto).
Cooper and Sellwood have been playing together for 16 years, exploring an aesthetic of intricate rhythms & song-structures within a punchy energetic rock band. The nature of their collaboration is unique; Keir as an award-winning non-academy artist and Oliver is an award-winning PhD composer and academic. Despite their two tangential angles of experience, they have a shared musical vocabulary honed over nearly two decades.
With new album 'EJECT' on the way in 2016, it's high time we pulled these performers out of the murky underworld they reside in.
"The coordination between each musician and the discipline that they display is reminiscent of avant jazz rock outfits such as Zu and Zs" - Echoes And Dust
"A shedload of energy, and an expansive sense of musicality; every element of the sound is considered, and every note is performed with skill and judgement." - Oliver Arditi
