From chaotic improvisations to soulful structure, Dave Bristow’s quintet explores a fractured world in their sophisticated new album, Sides.
Sides is the brand new sophomore release of the steadily-rising Paris-based, UK pianist and composer, Dave Bristow and his quintet. It explores the growth of an artist and his group in a society fractured by post-pandemic socio-economic uncertainty and political ambiguity. The music aims to reflect the confusion of these times, through its winding and chaotic improvisations but also offers hope, structure and solace through its accessible melodies and tightly structured compositions.
Featuring the talents of Christian Altehülshorst, Félix Hardouin, Gabriel Pierre, Guillaume Prévost this forward-thinking project aims to leave its own unique indelible imprint on the European and international jazz scenes alike.
In partnership with Jazz Leeds.
