Following on from Partikel’s String Theory project which established them as one of the most forward looking groups on the European Jazz Scene, tonight they are launching their latest album Counteraction.

Counteraction sees the band exploring the world of electronics whilst maintaining their trademark high energy approach. The nucleus of Partikel is made up of three London based musicians led by saxophonist Duncan Eagles, all from different musical backgrounds who have come together to create a very particular sound of their own. Tonight they will be joined by guest guitarist Ant Law.

‘One of the hottest young bands on the UK scene’ Jazzwise

‘Inventive contrapuntally – rich arrangements, this excellent experiment represents a perfect marriage of two seemingly disparate entities, resulting in an album of richly mellifluous sonority’ ★★★★★ All About Jazz

‘One of the most successful attempts I’ve heard at fully integrating a string quartet into a jazz ensemble… like a miniature Loose Tubes with strings.’ ★★★★★ Jazz Journal

‘Turbulent avant-riffage, lush, cinematic sophistication… an ambitious project, convincingly realised’ ★★★★ Jazzwise
