JAMR
Historical events have gifted us the presence of Dirar Kalash from Palestine. He in turn has selected this time to respond with creativity with the musicians of London. And we in turn are responding with the greatest thing we have. This is the show that could not have been arranged – because history itself has curated it, and history doesn’t heed our plans, and this is reflected in the unique ways JAMR approaches improvisation, to morph politics into sound.
JAMR is :
Alabaster DePlume – saxophone
Danalouge – piano and synthesizers
Dirar Kalash – electric bass
Max Hallett – drums
the eye of the hand
is ember
calling the names of Gaza
a river between the spheres and the seventh heaven
a blow in Israfil’s horn
a mass for blood
an Az’an for fire
and freedom
