Adam Bishop Quartet
Listen to the Adam Bishop Quartet in the Front Room of the Southbank Centre
Enjoy the music of the Adam Bishop Quartet this May at the Southbank Centre
Led by Australian saxophonist Adam Bishop, this quartet draws upon such diverse influences as Dave Holland, Mark Turner, Steve Coleman, Bela Bartok and Albert Ayler.
Investigating a wide range of improvisational settings such as modern classical harmony, free jazz and advanced rhythmical concepts (as well as straight ahead swing), they manage to blend all into a homogenous, warm and lyrical whole.
Featuring Adam Bishop on saxophones and bass clarinet; Jim Hart on vibraphone, Phil Donkin on bass and Shaney Forbes on drums.
The performance will be taking place in the Front Room on Friday May 9th from 5.30pm.
