This long-running group’s music is built around melodies and grooves infused with the echoes of last century converging with contemporary improvisations to create music that’s familiar yet entirely new. This performance will feature selections from their album ‘Now and Then’, as well as their favourite vocal standards and some more recent original compositions that challenge these four improvisers to develop new avenues of musical interaction.
