JackOut (Gary Curson, Justin Paterson & Margo Sagov) - Saturnalia

The album 'Saturnalia' by JackOut is the product of three London-based musicians, Gary Curson, Justin Paterson and Margo Sagov, who began to experiment with combining programmed beats and backing tracks with live and real-time playing in a home studio in the mid 1990's. Although the compositions were not necessarily derived from traditional instantaneous collective live performances, they were motivated by an attitude of improvisation in the idiom of modern jazz, by inventing and extending the sonic palette.

Personnel: Gary Curson (alto and soprano saxes; dee-dar), Justin Paterson (drums & percussion; programming; sampling, keyboards), Margo Sagov (programming; sampling; electric and bass guitars; keyboards), with guests: Roberto Bellatalla (double bass on tracks 1, 3 and 8), John Murray (electric bass on tracks 2 and 4), Mo Nazam (guitar sample on track 8)
