Andy Scott presents the festival finale super-gig. Andy Scott is a British tenor saxophonist equally at home in jazz and classical contexts and an award-
winning composer.

“Having previously played at Hull Jazz Festival and having a long association working with young musicians in Hull on specific creative projects, I am really thrilled to be able to showcase two new collaborations, and to talk about what life is like as a professional musician.

I’ll play a short set with the brilliant Carmel Smickersgill. Carmel is a Manchester based composer working predominantly within electronic DIY, classical and theatre music. We will create soundscapes via free improvisation, Carmel using ableton live. I’ve gathered together some of the most amazing improvising musicians, for a one-off performance. Hydra Trio with Dave Hassell (drums/percussion) + Nik Svarc (guitar), and also Gemini with Rob Cope (soprano saxophone & bass clarinet) + Liam Noble (piano).

I’ll be writing some simple musical sketches that we collectively interpret and improvise around. The music could go anywhere, and everyone will follow!

It’s risk-taking, exciting, musically dangerous, imaginative and creative, and it will be great to have you there on the journey with us! “
