CAROLINE KRAABEL
Caroline Kraabel is a London-based improviser, saxophonist, artist and composer. In 2022 Kraabel brought together a large group made up of all sorts of women, non-binary, and transgender improvisers: ONe_Orchestra New. Other active groups include a duo with cellist Khabat Abas; the Transitions Trio (with Charlotte Hug and Maggie Nicols); Fit To Burst, a song-based trio with Sarah Washington and John Edwards; and a quartet with Rowland Sutherland, John Edwards and Sofia Vaisman-Maturana that incorporates live poetry from guest poets, including Moor Mother.
Kraabel has performed and recorded with many other excellent improvisers, including Robert Wyatt, Louis Moholo, Cleveland Watkiss, Hyelim Kim, Pat Thomas, Susan Alcorn, Veryan Weston, Maria Portugal, Neil Metcalfe, Mark Sanders, and Chris Corsano. Kraabel’s solo saxophone improvisations while walking in London and elsewhere were broadcast weekly over several years on Resonance 104.4 FM as Taking a Life for a Walk and Going Outside. Other radio work includes a series of interviews with improvisers in many media (music, dance, visual art, politics, activism), Why is Improvising Important, and a 22 hour series of new interviews with improvisers as part of 2022’s Radio Art Zone.
