I Hold the Lion's Paw
Headland Theatre
The brainchild of trumpeter-composer-electronic artist Reuben Lewis, Lion's Paw will guide you into an immersive world of electro-acoustic ambience, grungy afro-beat grooves and psychedelic free jazz.
Jon Hassell meets Ornette Coleman, meets Laurie Anderson. I Hold the Lion's Paw (IHTLP) sounds familiar and, at the same time, like nothing else you've ever heard. Led by ARIA nominated trumpeter-producer Reuben Lewis, IHTLP's vast sonic universe is equal parts absurd and brilliant, as if the Muppets wandered into a Sun Ra rehearsal and never left.
Drawing from their third studio album, Potentially Interesting Jazz Music, IHTLP are hosting a surrealist happening. Expect grungy durational performance, psychedelic ambience, unhinged funk, and (of course) some potentially interesting Jazz music.
