Stephen Crowe Collaboration

Sam has just performed a new solo sax piece, "Mel Gibson vs Fender" by Stephen Crowe, at the Macbeth in Hoxton, as part of a night for the Nonclassical label, run by Gabriel Prokofiev. The piece was an experimental / contemporary classical offering, which combined traditional notation, improvisation and speech, particularly noteworthy for music being hidden in crisp packets and chocolate bars!
