20th November - Compassionate Dictatorship

Tori Freestone

Jez Franks

Jasper Hoiby

James Maddren

Ah, the LJF is over... but don't despair folks! You can continue to enjoy more improvised original music with the SECollective down at the Amersham. This Tuesday is no exception when we welcome a Compassionate Dictatorship...

 Described as “catching the current wave of Brit Jazz, by Jazzwise Magazine, ’Compassionate Dictatorship’ evolved out of the long standing collaboration between Jez Franks and Tori Freestone.  Together with bassist Jasper Hoiby and drummer James Maddren, they have toured extensively since their debut album in 2007, honing and developing their sound, releasing a second album ‘Cash Cow’ in 2010 to rave reviews  They’re now promoting their third album, ‘Entertaining Tyrants’ which is to be released on the ‘Jellymould Jazz’ label.

“this is a muscular but intelligent band playing immediately accessible, spirited but carefully wrought music” Chris Parker, Jazz Review

“…another vital example of UK musicians embracing and incorporating both free jazz and rock elements into an edgy, risk taking approach to their music” Jazzwise
