ALISON RAYNER QUARTET @ Bracknell Jazz 11 Oct 2019
Picture
ARQ’s combination of richly nuanced compositions with folk-infused grooves, skilful musicianship and a love of improvisation, creates a compelling and coherent whole. ARQ play 'songs without words' and are known for their vibrant, communicative performances. ARQ won ‘Ensemble of the Year’ in the prestigious Parliamentary Jazz Awards 2018.

In ARQ, Alison Rayner has gathered a group of fine musicians who sympathetically support her music: Steve Lodder on piano, Deirdre Cartwright on guitar, Diane McLoughlin on saxophones and Buster Birch on drums. The group’s imaginative and assured playing are superbly suited to Rayner’s compositions and reflect a confidence inspired by working intensively together.

‘Purposeful, full-toned and melodic…a beautifully integrated band’   The Observer


A gorgeous album synthesising mood, melody and the interplay between musicians totally at home with each other’  Jazzwise
‘If the first rule of life is to do what makes you happy… this album tumbles and flows with such a spirit, performed by a quintet whose musicality and heart enables it; a celebration of life itself‘ LondonJazzNews

“In a Jazz age with an abundance of technical excellence – and ARQ have it in great quantity – we look for something else as well. ARQ bring to the stage a musical bond that is expressed in such fun and joyful moments that it is a pleasure to be in the room with them. Jazz of the highest quality.”  Phil Rose, Birmingham Jazz
