Ill Considered

The beginnings of great bands are often illustrated in some lofty tall tale just waiting to be adopted into a biopic. Not neo-jazz thrill seekers Ill Considered, however. Idris Rahman (saxophone), Liran Donin (bass), Emre Ramazanoglu (drums) basically said: “Hey man, let’s go jam’ because why the f not?”

And suddenly there it was: one of the most exciting UK ensembles opening the floodgates of their combined creativity, continuously devising confounding ways to establish an addicting groove – more than 10 records deep since the year 2017, when their alliance was first conceived.

On stage it all unfolds into even higher spiritual spheres – and since Ill Considered hang their head on improvising on the fly, every gig by these cats is a unique occasion, never to be repeated again.
