ALAN NEWCOMBE
ALAN NEWCOMBE is was a member of the London Musicians Collective in the mid 80’s. But he mainly was part of a fluid grouping of musicians over a ten-year period playing a range of uncategorisable genres – the music was always spontaneous. Performances included definitely the last free improv gig in Railton Road before the Brixton riots. In the past few years, he returned to live playing and has been involved in MOWO, the Skronk sessions, the London Improvisation Workshop, Babble and Squeak, No Computers and the 50/50 project. Recent gigs in the past year include a quartet with Eddie Prevost, Dominic Lash and NO Moore, a nonet curated by James O’Sullivan, and duos with Chris Hill and Keisuke Matsui and a recent trio with Jordan Muscatello and Dave Fowler. A new release ‘Luft’with James O’Sullivan and Chris Hill should be out in the next few months. He has also recently been sighted playing a version of bluesy hard bop at several jam sessions at the County Arms.
