We Jazz presents one of the greatest improvising ensembles of all time, The Necks, at 22.9. at G Livelab Helsinki.
The trio of Chris Abrahams (piano), Tony Buck (drums), and Lloyd Swanton (bass) conjure a chemistry together that defies description in orthodox terms. Featuring lengthy pieces which slowly unravel in the most mesmerising fashion, frequently underpinned by an insistent deep groove, the eighteen albums by The Necks stand up to re-listening time and time again. The deceptive simplicity of the Australian trio's music throws forth new charms on each hearing. Not entirely avant-garde, nor minimalist, nor ambient, nor jazz, the music of The Necks is possibly unique in the world today. Their most recent album Disquiet, a monumental work totalling at 3+ hours shows that The Necks are only going deeper and deeper into the essence of their sound, 30 years and counting in search of the unknown.
The venue is accessible. An accessible restroom is available; there is no separate wheelchair platform. Personal assistants are admitted free of charge.
