Ben Davis and Oren Marshall. Jez Nelson presents two improvising musicians whose instruments are associated more with the classical world. Cellist Ben Davis performs a series of semi-improvised compositions, moving easily between fugue. twisted funk, pizzicato walking bass, contemporary classical phrases and arabesque modalities. And tuba player Oren Marshall uses bass guitar effects pedals to create an extraordinarily lyrical suite.
