Cheap Animals
“Both Dyberg and Robertson utilized a range of ancillary sound-making devices and techniques, stretching into AACM/CMIF/ BAG-inspired passages of deep conversation, playful chatter and bluesy storytelling” – Clifford Allen, New York City Jazz Record.
“The awesome trio out of this planet is here! Aliens along us! Super exciting and awesome! ” – Tomo Jacobson
“The always interesting saxophonist / composer Mia Dyberg presents a new trio. They have recently started playing together and played their debut at 5e. Maksimovs comes from Latvia and Asger Thomsen is growing to be one of the most in demand bassists in town !” – Kresten Osgood, 5e, København.
Rich and rooted drums, fierce bass-playing and soulful & explosive saxophone. Joyful and energy-creating compositions and free improvisation inspired by nature, Sun Ra and the story of John.
