It is totally fitting that Joe McPhee is Counterflows’ first featured artist: not only is he a great artist, he also encompasses the very ethos of Counterflows, exploring through his art a cultural openness to progression and development that allows for a great empathic humanity to shine through in all that he is involved with.

In conversation with our very own polymath Brian Morton the talk will look at Joe’s early work and engagement with the civil rights movement, through his involvement with the European improv scene up to the present day with Joe’s work with Decoy, Broetzmann, Mats Gustafsson and The Thing.
