MIKE COOPER (UK) & CHRIS ABRAHAMS (SYD)

For the past 40 years British guitarist Mike Cooper has traced a path completely his own and is a difficult artist to classify. Cooper has arguably stretched the possibilities of the guitar – leaping fearlessly from pure blues to folk, with free jazz and improvisation, in turn arriving at the avant-garde in the late 70s and 80s. 1994 marked his first visit to Australia (he now lives in Rome) and he has been back every year since performing a variety of musical collaborations. Tonight he will be in duo with Australia’s most adventurous improvising keyboard player Chris Abrahams.
