J[a]B[a]W is a free improvisation outfit featuring eclectic, hybrid instrumentation and vocalisation, creating an organic mash-up veering from delicate abstraction through insistent sonic curiosity to strident rhythmic statement.

John Jasnoch (guitars, mandolin)

Gillian Whiteley (voice, violin, accordions, recorder, hurdy-gurdy, harmonium)
