Live at Timucua: Paal Nilssen-Love Large Unit (Rebroadcast)

Timucua presents a live rebroadcast of Paal Nilssen-Love Large Unit from June 12, 2018.

Large Unit is twelve Nordic musicians led by the high-energy phenom drummer Paal Nilssen-Love. Audiences can expect ensemble musical motifs with alternately elegiac, squelchy, and emphatic improvisations that are interlocked in shifting, sonic poetry. It’s a jazz big band if you can agree that the crunchy, tabletop electronics of Lasse Marhaug, an accordion, and two bassists who veer into Post-Punk territory can coexist with the traditions of the Swing. Countenance these elements colliding with your Ellington or Gil Evans or not, this is an exemplar Civic Minded 5 spectacle.
