Bridge Quartet @ The Globe
Description UK tour of the British-Scandinavian Bridge Quartet, paying tribute to Sonny Rollins’ iconic ‘The Bridge’ record. Inspired by the legendary collaboration between saxophonist Sonny Rollins and guitarist Jim Hall, as immortalised by their record ‘The Bridge’, the new Scandinavian-British Bridge Quartet was set up by British guitarist James Girling after he moved to Norway. Bringing together compatriot saxophonist Dave Edge and the formidable young rhythm section of Danish drummer Emil Norman and Norwegian double bassist Andreas Svabø, this all-Oslo-based quartet establishes a conduit between British and Scandinavian musicians for expressing their shared love of the American modern jazz tradition against a contemporary northern European backdrop. Bridge Quartet’s debut project pays tribute to Sonny Rollins’ iconic ‘The Bridge’ album, played in its entirety alongside gems from Rollins’ following album ‘What’s New’: allrecorded within a few months in early 1962 by Rollins’ same quartet with Hall, Bob Cranshaw (bass) and Ben Riley (drums). This project is touring Scandinavia & the UK in 2026 having given its debut tour in England in summer 2025 – the same year saxophone colossus Rollins turned 95.
