what happened

Minute by minute report, via text message, by the BBC's Pete Marsh

1. 21.43 - The Basquiats take the stage. They have 20 strings between them and Seb Rochford on the drums.
2. 21.50 - If Bartok had heard Bossa Nova he may have come up with something like this.
3. 22.00 - Cellist Ben Davis takes an extraordinary solo on new piece 'Jack and Jill' which starts off sounding like Janacek and ends up like King Crimson. Sort of.
4. 22.10 - Saxophonist Ellery Eskelin and bassist Simon H. Fell join the fray, weaving dense, knotty bursts of free jazz in and out of the lush strings.
5. 22.14 - The two double basses are locking horns. It's getting heavy. Eskelin's tenor blasts are threatening to take the paint off the walls.
