Description
THE ART OF THE QUARTET – A Redefinition of the Jazz Quartet Four world-class jazz artists—Benjamin Koppel, Kevin Hays, Peter Erskine, and Scott Colley—unite in The Art of the Quartet, a group that elevates the classic jazz quartet to new artistic heights. Each member brings a wealth of experience, having collaborated with some of the most iconic names in jazz history. Together, they create a sound that is rich, dynamic, and deeply communicative. This is not just a gathering of great players—it’s a conversation between four deeply attuned musicians. Their performances are marked by a rare musical empathy and spontaneity, where interplay, listening, and intuition drive the music forward. The result is a powerful, intimate concert experience that captivates audiences and reveals new layers with every performance. The quartet is built on strong musical relationships. Saxophonist Benjamin Koppel has long-standing collaborations with both drummer Peter Erskine and bassist Scott Colley, bringing a natural cohesion to the group. Pianist Kevin Hays adds a lyrical and expressive dimension that completes the ensemble’s unique sound. Their debut at the Copenhagen Jazz Festival was met with overwhelming enthusiasm and has sparked demand for concerts and future touring. The Art of the Quartet is not just a band—it’s a living, breathing statement on the vitality of modern jazz. Expect brilliance, soul, and synergy. This is jazz at its most refined and most alive.
