The Necks
Jez Nelson presents a gig performed by improvising trio the Necks at London's Cafe Oto. The ensemble features Chris Abrahams (piano), Lloyd Swanton (bass) and Tony Buck (drums).
Jez Nelson presents a gig by The Necks, recorded during their three-day residency at London's CafΓ© Oto.
This Sydney-based trio often seems to elicit superlatives: unique according to The Wire, the New York Times has proclaimed them 'the best band in the world' and their distinctive brand of slowly-evolving, minimal groove has won them a cult following - no mean feat for an ensemble built mostly on improvisation.
Together now for 25 years, Chris Abrahams (piano) Lloyd Swanton (bass) and Tony Buck (drums) return once more to CafΓ© Oto and to Jazz on 3.
