The Noveltones are an improvising chamber quartet based in Wellington, featuring the unexpected instrumentation of violin, soprano saxophone, bass clarinet and double bass. With a sound that is melodious, sometimes startling, and beguiling, the Noveltones fuse the spontaneity of jazz with the lush sonorities of chamber music. Combining their strengths as members of Wellington’s jazz, composition, experimental and world music scenes, the group is comprised of Jasmine Lovell-Smith on soprano saxophone; Tristan Carter on violin; Blair Latham on bass clarinet and Tom Callwood on double bass.
Knotted Throats are a free improvisation trio of:
- Hermione Johnson (prepared piano)
- Tom Callwood (double bass)
