SUMMARY:Larry Stabbins & Ogun Records: tribute to Shirley Thompson
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM - 2 set(s) of music\n \nLine-up:\nLarry Stabbins - Saxophones\nAlexander Hawkins - Piano\nMark Sanders - Drum kit\nAbout\nWe are delighted to celebrate the release of a new Ogun production:\n\nLarry Stabbins/Keith Tippett/Louis Moholo-Moholo - Live in Foggia\n\nRecorded in Italy in 1985\, this is a valuable record of a unique trio playing at the very top of their game. Larry Stabbins\, after years of playing with many of the greatest improvising musicians of the 60s and 70s (John Stevens\, Chris McGregor\, Keith Tippett\, Mike Westbrook\, Tony Oxley etc) had recently exploded onto the pop world with the bands Weekend and Working Week and was quite famous in Italy. Both Louis and Keith are in their prime here\, and the level of playing by all three is off the scale.\n\nThe album takes on an extra resonance with the recent passing of our friend\, the great Louis Moholo-Moholo\, five years to the day from the death of Keith Tippett and this trio is especially assembled to celebrate the album will play in impassioned tribute to Keith and Louis.\n\nLarry Stabbins has also recently released two new albums: SAROST - a trio CD with Paul Rogers and Mark Sanders (Jazz Now Records) and CUP & RING - a duo with mark Sanders (Discus Records)\n\nShirley Thompson\n\nWe are also taking this opportunity to celebrate the life of a great friend to the label\, and the Vortex. Shirley Thompson\, partner to John Jack\, was a regular member of the Vortex audience with John - they had their own table and attanded every week for many years until John's death and Shirley's illness. Shirley passed away this year and many members of the community will remember her with affection and want to commemorate her life and commitment to the music.
