The Folklore Rooms, 12 North Street, Brighton, United Kingdom
Archipelago are a genre-defying trio of adventurous musicians, formed out of the North East of England’s creative musical underground. Fronted by saxophonist, clarinetist, singer and composer Faye MacCalman and completed by John Pope (Bass) and Christian Alderson (Drums); their sound is a dreamlike collision of otherworldly atmospheres, heartfelt song-writing and energetic off-kilter rhythms. Moving between instruments and effects to create the illusion of a much larger ensemble, before peeling back to their raw, improvisational trio form, Archipelago’s uncompromising refusal to fit in one genre makes for a fully-charged musical experience.
With influences stretching from Joni Mitchell to Don Cherry to Esperanza Spalding, Archipelago draw on a deep pool of sonic references and the diversity of their individual musical histories.
“compelling stuff, particularly on the sections where all hell lets loose!.” - Bebop Spoken Here
PLUS Support from MC3:

“The three are distinctly different in their styles of play but they interweave and engage in dialogues which make them sound like long-time associates who are comfortable together.
"Autobiography of a Poet" …features sensitive group playing from all three players and reinforces the fact that this trio has its own unique sound which is highly recognisable..."
John Eyles on All About Jazz
