Axel Dörner / Roger Turner / Dominic Lash + Cathy Heyden / Rogier Smal Duo

Note! This is a special co-promotion between Chocolate Monk and Safehouse. It’s happening on a different day and different venue from usual Safehouse night:

SATURDAY 25th APRIL at THE COWLEY CLUB
12 London Road, Brighton, BN1 4JA


Axel Dörner: trumpet
Roger Turner: drums and percussion
Dominic Lash: double bass

German-born trumpeter Axel Dörner has a unique style of playing based on unusual, often self-invented techniques that make use of breath and microscopic sounds as much as conventional note-playing. This short film of him playing on a bridge in Berlin gives a good introduction to his approach to music making:

Check out his extensive discography here as well.

Roger Turner is an absolute fiend on the drums – he has played a number of times at Safehouse, and every time it has been nothing short of mesmerising.

Dominic Lash has performed with musicians such as Tony Conrad, Joe Morris, Evan Parker and the late Steve Reid. His main projects include The Dominic Lash Quartet, The Set Ensemble and The Convergence Quartet.
