The Brandon Allen Quartet is a dynamic group that performs contemporary arrangements of standard repertoire and jazz classics as well as original material.
The longstanding musical partnership of saxophonist Brandon Allen and pianist Tim Lapthorn is once again at the core of this project.
The addition of Jeremy Brown (bass) and Chris Higginbottom (drums) has proved to be a potent mix, the group creating an explosive blend of melodic improvisation, heavy swing and emotional freedom and spontaneity.
The group repertoire is inspired by swing, bop, latin music, contemporary jazz and above all else, the experience of life right now…
'Rock-solid and exciting performances capturing the essence of the classic jazz quartet at its finest.'
