Garner Pope Duo

Powerful Tyneside bassist John Pope and mercurial virtuoso violinist John Garner return to The Globe for an evening of celebratory, no holds barred music-making. Both internationally renowned improvisers, Garner and Pope will once again pay tribute to ‘The New Thing’, the wave of
mid- to late-twentieth century artists who shook the world to its core, driving political and social change in their wake. The duo have immersed themselves in the singular repertoire of composers including Don Cherry, Ornette Coleman, Jimmy Garrison, Jeanne Lee, Mary Lou Williams, and
Misha Mengelberg, channeling these titanic spirits through the lens of their contemporary experience in myriad musical traditions. Spontaneous, transitory and ecstatic, the pair will plunge headlong into a thrilling and, at times, terrifying world of sounds and colours. Join them for the
ride!

‘It was good to see two musicians of such standing, reaching out beyond the norm.’ – bebop spoken here
