About
A brand new quintet featuring five of the country's most energetic and creative improvisers, with a strong Sheffield connection, and promoting the release of their debut album 'Triptych' (on the Luminous label). Sloth Racket are led by baritone saxophonist Cath Roberts (Quadraceratops, and co-promoter of the London-based Lume nights), and features Anton Hunter (Beats & Pieces Big Band) on guitar, Sam Andreae (Trio Riot) on tenor saxophone, Seth Bennett (Metamorphic) on bass, Johnny Hunter (Nat Birchall, Johnny Hunter Quartet) on drums. Originally composed for the 2015 Gateshead International Jazz Festival, their heavily improvised music ranges from fiery free jazz to sparse, minimal improv and deep grooves and riffs.
