Paal Nilssen-Love Large Unit

ISSUE Project Room is pleased to present the Paal Nilssen-Love Large Unit at First Unitarian Congregational Society in Brooklyn Heights. For the last 20 years, Norwegian free jazz drummer Paal Nilssen-Love has built a formidable reputation as one of the world's most energetic and prolific musicians, known for bands like The Thing, OffOnOff, Ballister, Hairy Bones, Peter Brötzmann's Chicago Tentet, and Original Silence, as well as collaborations with musicians including Arto Lindsay, Jim O'Rourke, Otomo Yoshihide, and many others. In 2013 Nilssen-Love launched his own big band ensemble, Large Unit, pulling together an international ensemble of 11. Large Unit manifests as an intense powerhouse force on stage, but also veers into more subtle and textural passages. The group includes members from Finland, Sweden and Denmark. In other words: Nordic music at its most powerful.
