(Dan
Wilson & Fiona Tozer)
The next Mondays at 5 at St Clements
programme takes place tomorrow (November 6, 2017) and will feature Quark with
Dan Wilson and Fiona Tozer. They promise an entertaining evening of words,
music, space, time, creativity, interaction, musings on the universe and lots
more.
Enjoy a special evening of conviviality,
repartee and music courtesy acclaimed British-born jazz/rock bass-man Dan
Wilson and classically trained guitarist/songwriter/folk musician Fiona Tozer,
now collaborating as Quark, with “space-time and the universe” as the eclectic
theme.
Coming from a background based in the folk
revival music of the 70s, Tozer as songwriter and guitarist has performed solo
and with bands throughout South Africa. She headlined at Splashy Fen in 2004. She
has released three acclaimed albums of original songs (in folk and acoustic
rock style), and recently completed a music degree in contemporary classical
composition at UKZN.
Wilson has played with a diverse bunch of
musicians including steel guitar legend Mike Cooper, Annette Peacock, Syd
Kitchen and RISE. He has released four albums with Creeper, an acid jazz outfit
featuring saxophonist Luke Townsend. Dan’s album Max Roach Park with British drummer Mark Huggett was nominated for
a South African Music Award for best jazz album in 2006.
They will play from, and talk about, their
new album, Jetshock. Among other
things, how and why the lyrical content and the music relates to the story of
the human race and its place in the cosmos.
They say: “Fusing various styles of music,
we have created a collection of songs that will take you on a journey of
discovery through space and time. Our music features acoustic guitar, bass and
voice as well as loops. We aim for the unexpected and don’t into any particular
category easily—maybe it could be described as contemporary folk fusion.”
You will, perhaps, be transported... Whatever,
it promises to be a fun evening of music, words, questions and discussion. What
does music mean to you? What does music mean to them? What makes what they’re
doing so exciting to them? Why should we find it exciting? And then there was
Oliver Sacks...
Quark will have copies of their
just-released album, Jetshock, for
sale.
