Composer and improvisor Dee Byrne pushes the boundaries of jazz and experimental music. She brings music from her latest Whirlwind release Outlines on Tuesday 18th. Dee and her band bring a sound that has evolved from a creative experiment: introducing visual art into her composition practice. Out of this, short musical sketches emerged that stood alone as artistic statements. These short statements are ‘Outlines’ – a springboard for this dynamic ensemble to go in new, exciting directions every time.
