COMING UP - Thursday 22 October at 7pm // The brainchild of trumpeter-composer-electronic artist Reuben Lewis, Lion’s Paw will guide you into an immersive world of electro-acoustic ambience, grungy afro-beat grooves and psychedelic free jazz.

Jon Hassell meets Ornette Coleman, meets Laurie Anderson. I Hold the Lion’s Paw (IHTLP) sounds familiar and, at the same time, like nothing else you’ve ever heard. Led by ARIA nominated trumpeter-producer Reuben Lewis, IHTLP’s vast sonic universe is equal parts absurd and brilliant, as if the Muppets wandered into a Sun Ra rehearsal and never left.

Drawing from their third studio album, Potentially Interesting Jazz Music, IHTLP are hosting a surrealist happening. Expect grungy durational performance, psychedelic ambience, unhinged funk, and (of course) some potentially interesting Jazz music.

“Like a visit to a contemporary art museum, the album invites you to sit down, slow down, look closer, and listen deeper. In an age that rushes faster than reason, Potentially Interesting Jazz Music feels like a deliberate act of resistance.” — paris-move.com

“More likely was the feeling of having stumbled into someone else’s L*D trip” — Sydney Morning Herald

Presented in association with Musica Viva Australia

Artists:
Reuben Lewis - Trumpet / Synthesizer
Emily Bennett - Voice / Synthesizer
Adam Halliwell - Bass Guitar
Ronny Ferella - Drums
