We will celebrate the release of James McClure's debut album
A dizziness from the unsaid on MOLK records
As well as the outstanding Josh Berman Trio, who we're very lucky to have on their tour all the way from Chicago.


JAMES MCCLURE (SA)
South African trumpet player and composer James McClure presents his deeply personal debut album, a bold and introspective work rooted in emotion, free improvisation and progressive thought, with traces of heritage. Based in Amsterdam since 2015, McClure has become a distinctive voice within the city’s experimental music community, known for his mesmerising sound, patience and sensibility. Although this marks his debut release as a bandleader, the album reflects years of collaboration, research and exploration. The ensemble sound mirrors his inner world and lifelong pursuit of honest expression.
