    Event description

    The Living Room Theatre in association with Kawai presents

    MONICA BROOKS + WORDS FAIL

    A favourite local sports bar turned into a music venue with a theatrical edge! ​
    ​
    The 2024 Ms Kitteridge & Bok Choy season features some of the greatest improvising jazz and experimental musicians with a number of new line ups and an added program of LRT’s own theatrical productions.

    Monica Brooks has modelled sound works, compositions, and improvisations from piano, computer, field recordings, glasses, radio, and accordion. As a performer she has collaborated with various fabulous folks such as Jim Denley, Dale Gorfinkel, Herminone Johnson, Chris Abrahams, Robbie Avenaim, Kraig Grady, Richard Nuns, Eugene Chadbourne and Joe Talia.

    Monica Brooks - Piano

    WORDS FAIL 

    This beautiful trio exists because of friendships formed in the quiet fire of improvising. Chris Abrahams and Clayton Thomas have been regular playing partners since 2002, performing together with Jim Denley, Jon Rose, Tony Buck, Jeff Henderson, Clare Cooper and many others over the course of a diverse and dynamic playing life. When Clayton met Miles (a Harry Met Sally scenario in a Redfern pub), a dream for this trio was born. Chris and Miles play with a supreme dedication to sound, from the point of view of deep mastery. They are 'music' first players, open to explore the moment with egoless abandon. 

    The combination of energies makes Words Fail a potent, poetic and often beautiful listening experience. 

    Chris Abrahams - piano
    Clayton Thomas - double bass
    Miles Thomas - drums and percussion
