Composer and Guitarist/Bassist Itö leads an exciting jazz collective, The Myanmar Jazz Club, in contemporary jazz music composed by, or co-created with composers/musicians from 4E Jazz Workshops. Expect gnarly grooves, Burmese traditional folk influences, sounds of struggle and of celebration, free creative improvisation and playful explorations of recorded sound. You’ll hear resonance of music that embodies resilience and explores jazz as freedom of expression.

‘Breaking the Walls’ in Yangon
Super excited to hear how friends and colleagues from the Myanmar Jazz Club interpret a new work, ‘Breaking the Walls’, I made with Itö as well as new pieces by emerging Yangon based composers. Thanks to the British Council for supporting this project.

Had an amazing time playing with Declare Sextet at Turner Sims a few weeks. My Uncle, Markus Kinch, captured some brilliant pictures. Was awesome to work with these amazing musicians: Nick Willsher, Tamar Osborn, Francesca Ter-Berg, George Balmont and Jake Long, with a very special guest slot from Liz Gre. Looking forward to editing together the recordings to share with the world and to hearing how the Yangon crew play the same music at their gig in November! Thanks again to British Council for funding.
