Entropi

ENTROPI was Byrne’s previous ensemble, featuring trumpeter Andre Canniere, keyboardist Rebecca Nash, drummer Matt Fisher, and bassist Olie Brice. The band blends tightly composed material with free improvisation, creating music that is both exploratory and structured.

ENTROPI has released two albums: New Era (F-IRE, 2015) and Moment Frozen (Whirlwind Recordings, 2017), both supported by UK tours. The group has performed at many of the UK’s major jazz festivals, and their live set from Marsden Jazz Festival was broadcast on BBC Radio 3 on Christmas Eve 2018.
