Guitarist Harry Christelis brings an acclaimed quartet of musicians from the London jazz scene and utterly entrancing music; a hypnotic fusion of jazz and folk traditions with ambient electronics and immersive sonic landscapes, drones and textures. Harry Christelis (guitar / electronics), George Crowley (saxophone /electronics), Andrea Di Biase (double bass), and Dave Storey (drums) bring a deeply communal approach to improvisation, colouring, shaping, and delineating every moment of each piece together, through dreamy psychedelic trips, expansive soundscapes, delicate moments of intimacy, and furious bursts of energy. It’s an exceptional quartet and music of real beauty, quietly cathartic with a real sense of equilibrium. Here’s some music: https://youtu.be/uPTHgYNGugs?si=b3Xh-q45teP46cGo “With shades of ECM, Jon Hassell and late-’60s Miles Davis, these meditative, minimalist creations are imbued with offbeat beauty” MOJO ★★★★ “Compelling ambient music pitched somewhere between In A Silent Way-era Miles Davis and late-era Talk Talk” The Guardian “Exemplifies the very notion of innovative and progressive contemporary jazz” UK Vibe ★★★★ “Breathy and textural tones that perfectly create a sense of space and memory” Soweto Kinch, BBC Radio 3 “Music with a serene beauty” Kevin Le Gendre, BBC Radio 3 Guitarist Harry Christelis’ five albums as a leader (‘Moostak Trio’ (2020) and ‘Scribbling’ (Ubuntu, 2022), ‘Nurture The Child / Challenge The Adult’, ‘Half Truths’ and the latest quartet album ‘Preserving Fictions’ have met with acclaim internationally and rightly so.
