The Nilan Perera Quartet - [excerpt from 1st piece]

Another set of exploratory grooves from a group assembled by Nilan Perera, this time with Colin Fisher on drums, Bea Labikova on fujara and sax, and Wes Neal on double bass. As usual, Perera managed to slip in some blues and folk references, but when it was really humming, such as in this selection, it was edging into spiritual jazz territory.

[SynapticCircus returns with "a very specially curated evening" on Sunday, April 14th featuring "The Exploded Kit" — five percussionists (Colin Fisher, Nick Fraser, D. Alex Meeks, Ambrose Pottie, and Mark Zurawinski) each playing one part of a drumkit, both separately and together. (The night will also include a solo bass clarinet set from Kathryn Ladano.)]
