Akøde at Café Oto (14 July)

Akøde is an experimental jazz group comprising British saxophonist Alan Wilkinson together with three Norwegians: guitarist Kim Johannesen, bassist Ola Høyer and drummer Dag Erik Knedal Andersen. After releasing their second album in 2015, the quartet took a break to pursue individual projects. This UK performance will see their return to the bristling and creative improvisations they are known for. 7.30pm.
