Theo May’s “Odd Unit” Quintet

Featuring the prodigious violinist Theo May, the music of May’s brand-new Odd Unit quintet is a highly personal and original response to the music that has inspired and captivated him throughout his life. High octane and fiercely frenetic folk-like dances contrast with dark and mysterious soundscapes and painfully melancholic and lyrical pieces. Difficult to pigeon-hole into a genre, but immediately recognisable and striking in its originality and energy, the music of Odd Unit draws on Theo’s love of Folk, Jazz and modern Classical influences to weave a richly vibrant tapestry that is unique, fresh and exciting whilst at the same time being immediately listenable and captivating. Brought to life by a fantastic line-up of young players from the London jazz scene together with Theo’s highly individual violin playing, this music is sure to excite and thrill all musical tastes. The line-up features Theo May, violin, Gustavo Clayton Maurucci, clarinets, Lukasz Niemancewicz, piano, Ali Watson, bass & Alex temple, drums. 8.00pm Tickets £12 in advance & £15 on the door
