Part of the residency Cassiar Records (aka Josh Cole) presents:
Southern Cross
"John Oswald - alto saxophone Josh Cole - double bass Rob Clutton - double bass Nick Fraser - drums
A night of improvised music inspired by the vibrant 70s free jazz loft scene, yet wholly contemporary and unique in its approach. At the heart of the performance is renowned Canadian improviser and composer John Oswald, joined by the dynamic double-bass duo of Josh Cole and Rob Clutton, and the ever-explosive Nick Fraser on drums.

“Cole can be coolly lyrical, he can write a controlled “classical” counterpoint, he can drop in some funk, and he can also let the improvisers loose in the stratosphere.” – Popmatters.com
“To create your own voice in the crowded musical environment of today is a feat.” - Free Jazz Blog
Critically acclaimed bassist, composer, and improviser Josh Cole presents a series of concerts focused on the criminally underrated jazz and improvised music scene in Toronto. Featuring a who’s who of Canadian improvisers—Lina Allemano, John Oswald, Aline Homzy, Nick Fraser, Nick Storring, Blake Howard, the Dun-Dun Band, and more—the concert series will highlight a range of projects Josh Cole has been developing over the last couple of years.
