Monster
Joe Mchpee / Susana Gartmayer / John Edwards / Mariá Portugal 

Four musicians from different generations and geographies, all esteemed names in the free jazz world, come together in Monster. Looking at the quartet of superstars, there’s one you can’t miss: the eternal saxophonist Joe McPhee. At 85, the multi-instrumentalist is a key figure in jazz and improvised music.

Monster is completed by a luxury cast: Susanna Gartmayer, one of Austria’s most important clarinettists and composers; the British John Edwards, with a long career in free jazz dating back to the 1980s, is in charge of the double bass; Mariá Portugal, a Brazilian drummer, composer and singer, a key name in São Paulo’s experimental scene, completes the quartet.
