Jazz Loft presents: Reid+Wolken+Claman

An atmospheric and hypnotic 'dark jazz' vibe emanating from the trio's minimal instrumentation, textural looping and subtle groove laden beats.

PETER CLAMAN (aka Texture Time) is a Dunedin-based versatile trombonist and live electronic texture maker who joins forces with the contemporary hypno-jazz/ jazz noir duo - KARIN REID (voice, looper, shruti box) and ALEX WOLKEN (guitar, looper) - for an evening of in-the-moment improvisational creations along with collaborations on some REID+WOLKEN'S original compositions.

The performance will be held in the vintage setting of TRIDENT HOUSE in the Vogel Street area, taking advantage of the rich acoustic and intimacy of this unique and quirky utilitarian space.

REID+WOLKEN+CLAMAN will walk the fine line between the edgy and transcendental in this explorative simultaneous musical concoction.

Limited to 25 seats!
