Led by Martin France, one of the UK’s most prolific and busiest drummers, Spin Marvel are praised for their use of textural soundscape and colour. Spin Marvel released their first album in 2005 to huge critical acclaim establishing themselves as one of the most compelling groups on the scene.
For over 25 years Martin France has been one of the major figures in forging the identity of British and European jazz. He’s worked alongside the likes of Elvis Costello, Kenny Wheeler, Joe Lovano and John Taylor and has a particularly strong relationship with Norway, having worked with Bugge Wesseltoft, Arild Andersen and Sidsel Endresen. Tonight he brings his own group Spin Marvel, whose second album was released on Edition Records in 2010 to rave reviews. Their guests tonight are the legendary John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin fame alongside one of Norway’s most celebrated trumpeters, Nils Petter Molvær.
Combining fluid groove playing with powerhouse virtuosity, Spin Marvel have a distinctly European sound that is highly inventive and compelling.
