About the Event
Howl Quartet takes inspiration from ‘Howl’, Allen Ginsberg’s seminal poem. The immediacy of the verse and intense conviction behind Ginsberg’s writing reflects the bands approach to composition and performance. The band is a dynamic, expressive outlet with an emphasis on storytelling through melodic composition and improvisation. Formed of old friends and collaborators, this co-led acoustic quartet emerged in 2017 through a passion for developing a collective sound. Inspired by artists such as Endangered Blood, The Bad Plus and Brian Blade & The Fellowship Band, there is an innate freedom and creative intensity to their music.
The band have just released i# their third CD, Night Song, which was warmly received in Jazzwise: 'tuneful, deeply personal writing that's definitively non-American... quietly, insidiously compelling, drawing the listener back again and again.'
Dan Smith: alto/ Harry Brunt: tenor/ Pete Komor: bass/ Matt Parkinson: drums
