What better way to work off two nights of huge donks, gastro-rupturing basslines and forgetting people’s names than a few hours of hardcore improv?

Martin Archer has curated a line-up of contemporary ensembles that pluck at the outer reaches of modern jazz.

This event is one of our No Bounds picks.
