Last December, COMPANY - Derek Bailey’s longstanding and influential initiative for group improvisation - was officially reactivated at Cafe OTO. There was such a positive response, we decided to do it again.
Derek formed COMPANY in 1976. The premise was an effectively simple one; invite a group of musicians to improvise together, in various ad-hoc formations, with as little pre-planning as possible.
COMPANY 2026 (for Derek Bailey) curated by John Butcher, Tim Fletcher, Ian Greaves and Mark Wastell in association with Derek Bailey estate and Derek Bailey Archive, Huddersfield University.
COMPANY 2026 features;
Dominic Lash (electric guitar) Sharon Gal (voice) Angharad Davies (violin) Alexander Hawkins (piano) Charlotte Keeffe (trumpet) Alan Niblock (double bass) Mariam Rezaei (turntables) Zheng Hao (electronics) John Butcher (saxophones) Mark Wastell (percussion)
