C O N V E R G E N C E – SHINYA FUKUMORI | BJ COLE | IAIN BALLAMY | CHRIS MONTAGUE

For one performance only, four exceptional musicians come together for a unique musical collaboration. Each bring their compositional language to a point of convergence from which new interpretations of songs emerge. The uncommon format of pedal steel guitar, saxophone, electric guitar and drums promise soundscapes that will inspire and surprise.

Shinya Fukumori – drums
BJ Cole – pedal steel guitar
Iain Ballamy – saxophones
Chris Montague – guitar

The programme will feature compositions by all four musicians. Yokohama Calling are very excited to be facilitating this unique meeting of musical talent and the possibilities it will bring.

Yokohama Calling is a UK based operation working with Japanese artists to promote Japanese music and culture outside of Japan. The vision is to bring UK and Japanese artists together - to foster the spirit of collaboration, to create new bonds and make great music.

“Fukumori is among the most poetic of drummers, his light touch lending only the necessary textures and rhythms: reminiscent of the late, great drummer Paul Motian, a frequent contributor to ECM recordings.”

Mark Sullivan, allaboutjazz.com

“Intensly melodic, eventful and full of surprises... The beauty of tone that Iain Ballamy gets is certainly one of the joys of the current scene, and his concern with creating it echoes Stan Getz’s.”
Andy Hamilton, Jazz on CD
