You mean the young British 'punk jazz' band???

i suppose you could call em that

Yeah - agreed the label is not too helpful.

Depends where you're coming from as to whether you'll be into them. They're very popular over here at the moment (a bit reminiscent of the early days of Polar Bear). IMHO they are clearly better players that PB, and their music is somewhat edgier. James Allsopp I've met just the once - he's a very good bass clarinettist indeed; apparently plays great tenor as well, although I haven't heard it. A nice guy too.

I dunno about this stuff - as the mainstream of things over here is going, I think it's interesting - but when you look at it in the broader context of British improvisation - well...I'm less clear what I think about it...I won't say too much, because I'm not overly familiar with their work, but suffice it to say there's a bunch of people who'll point to a whole load of far edgier, far more 'out there' guys who are really 'pushing it' who haven't got the recognition, for one reason or another...

I realise this is an ambivalent answer, but as I'm not too familiar with their stuff, as I say, I don't want to slag them off/big them up unduly :)

edit to say: this post reads somewhat more negatively than I'd intended...the ambivalence is genuine, however! FWIW - I suppose they can be thought of as a British band (work over here, on a UK label) - but the personnel has a European element!
