"all the best ideas come out of the process; they come out of the work itself" - Chuck Close
Rough Takes is a series about giving artists the space to experiment and take risks and to open the door to the creative process for audiences. We give an artist the space for a day and a performance at the end of it - what they choose to do and who they choose to work with is up to them. Audiences might see the start of a new collaboration, a meeting of old friends or a one-off, never to be repeated performance. It's in-keeping with the history of the Vortex as a space to try out new ideas and with the joy of improvised music being an artform where the process IS the result.
Our first in this series of one-off live streamed performances comes from up-and coming pianist Olly Chalk. Having first played at the Vortex with his trio as part of the Shape of Jazz to Come concerts (curated and developed by the bassist Dave Holland and the Vortex’s Kathianne Hingwan), Olly has chosen to invite three musicians who are “amongst some of [his] favourite improvising musicians]” - Tom Challenger on tenor Saxophone, Will Glaser on Drums and Daniel Kemshell on Guitar.
Join us online on the 20th December at 8pm to listen to the results.
