Description
Set to become a vital cog in London's experimental jazz and improv scene, Dice Factory started life in 2009 as a jam band when the pianist George Fogel and saxophonist Tom Challenger got together to play transcriptions of music that ranged from alt rock band Deerhoof to vanguardist NYC pianist Vijay Iyer. They then started developing a way of linking them with their own compositions plus those of the other members, the highly rated young bassist Tom Farmer and drummer Jon Scott. This group of key young musicians are already giving shape to the creative direction of a new jazz generation absorbed by culture and arts as a whole: tenor saxophonist Tom Challenger is a LOOP Collective member and leader of unique jazz-electronica group MA as well as saxophonist for Babel recording band Outhouse; Tom Farmer is the double bassist for award winning quartet Empirical; drummer Jon Scott (who according to Challenger has a "ridiculous 'binary' brain") features in MOBO Jazz award winners Kairos 4tet, and pianist George Fogel is a member of MA and other key upcoming bands such as the trumpeter Andre Canniere Group.
