Kaffe’s accomplice at the City of Women gig is musician/composer Stevie Wishart. As a musicologist Wishart has explored and researched archaic music traditions (such as from Rajastan, Occitania, or from the mountain villages of Cantabria), and medieval music. Her expertise, combined with an overwhelming intuition, gives her extraordinary improvisational skill, a skill she loves to use in experimental, contemporary, urban and high-tech settings. She performs with the Australian Quartet Machine for Making Sense and is regularly seen on jazz and improvised music stages (like this year’s Nickelsdorf New Music Festival).
In the City of Women we heard both musicians solo, after which they concluded with an unprecedented, unique duet.
