Jez Nelson presents a gig by four pioneers of free jazz and improvisation: saxophonist Steve Williamson, drummer Roger Turner, keyboard player Pat Thomas and trumpeter Roy Campbell. The show features the first set from their London Jazz Festival gig in 2008, when the quartet played together for the very first time.

Williamson, Turner and Thomas are stalwarts of the British avant-garde music scene, with over a hundred years of collective experience in improvised music. Campbell is based in New York and has collaborated with David Murray, Sun Ra, Cecil Taylor and John Zorn.
