Theo Travis Band profile
Tuesday, October 10, 2006
Multi-reedist Theo Travis's melodic and astute institue in his bold improvising, always a treat live as both an outstanding improviser and composer,
Travis remains one of the country’s most progressive saxophonists; even mastering the art of digitally looping his sax into a serpentine wall of sound he has toured his ‘Earth To Ether’ CD with a band comprised of Simon Colam on piano, Andy Hamill on bass and Marc Parnell on drums. Ever a versatile musician Travis’ restless creative streak and fearless, richly textured improvising has made him means he remains one of the UK’s most distinctive reeds men. Happy in a variety of contexts be it creating ethereal loops with bassist Steve Lawson, rocking out with Soft Machine Legacy or leading his own band, his sax ‘voice’ is always on song.
