Bag of Bones

Bag of Bones

The London-based quartet has honed its chemistry through many hours playing together, exploring all of the history of jazz and settling on loose compositions as vehicles to explore free improvising. Stone-Lonergan, Simpson, Hayhurst and Glaser all contribute compositions, which are all designed to experiment with the freedom of music within the structure of a loose container. The music spans a large emotional spectrum from dynamic and spirited exchanges among the group members to expansive blues swagger and powerful collective free blowing that pays homage to legendary avant-garde music movements of the 60s and 70s. These four outstanding musicians, each with distinctive personalities, generate a compelling sound that traverses a wide spectrum of sound colours, rhythms, and moods, infused with vibrant energy. Possessing a deep appreciation for lyrical melodies, tonal precision, and dynamics, the quartet cultivates an animated interplay with subtle atmospheric shifts in harmony, texture and rhythm.
