Both well-known in the world of free improvisation\, and both multi-instrumentalists\, their album was described by the BBC website as being "filled with the sounds and textures of a hardcore ethnographic field recording\, but delivered with the vocabulary of free improvisation".\n\nTheir various instruments include shakuhachi\, violin\, stereo goathorns\, voice\, khene and the bicycle wheel. Between them Clive and Sylvia have performed with Jah Wobble\, Evan Parker\, David Sylvian and Alasdair Roberts. Sylvia has collaborated with various dance and theatre companies\, and Clive also writes for The Wire magazine.\n\nTonight The Geographers will play a completely improvised set of music.\n\n Arthur\n\nArthur are a new radical jazz trio of saxophone\, tuba and drums\, from Norwich.\n\nInitially inspired by the saxophonist Arthur Blythe's trio of the same line-up\, Arthur now perform original compositions\, more obscure standards\, and improvisations\, with passion and energy.\n\nThey are: Simon Youngman (alto saxophone)\, Ben Higham (tuba) and Geoff Charlton (drums).\n\n
