London Improvisers Orchestra
LIO © Helen Petts
"The LIO has in a short time become one of the most formidable large groups working in music . . . they have created a remarkable thing: a contemporary big band capable of free improvisation as well as compositions and conductions" - Robert Iannapollo, Cadence
"The kind of intensity, excitement, and invention that this ensemble creates via spontaneous means is unique in New Music circles." - Art Lange, Fanfare
"a powerful argument for the continuing appeal of large improvising ensembles and of free improvisation, here both thrilling and surprising in equal measures." - John Eyles, All About Jazz
