The Kevin Brady Electric Quartet

This event has ended

Arthurs Jazz & Blues Club, Saturday 10th May

In 2022, Kevin Brady and his Electric Quartet found themselves heading in a groundbreaking new direction, inspired by a collaboration that would redefine their sound. Featuring the lyrical mastery of Seamus Blake on Tenor Saxophone and the ethereal textures of Bill Carrother on Fender Rhodes, and longtime rhythm colleague bassist Dave Redmond, this ensemble has created a body of work that balances intricate jazz improvisation with deeply emotive resonance. It’s a sound that feels both timeless and daringly contemporary, pushing the boundaries of what modern jazz can be. Their last studio release was selected as One of the Jazz Albums of the Year by the iconic Downbeat Magazine.

The inclusion of Seamus Blake’s searching, expressive saxophone and Carrother’s atmospheric use of the Rhodes evokes a space of introspection, yet there’s an undercurrent of restless innovation that propels the music forward. The interplay within the quartet is mesmerizing: the tender dialogue between Blake’s saxophone and Carrother’s shimmering chords creates a deeply personal sonic landscape, while Brady’s rhythmic precision anchors the music with a quiet intensity. The minimalist textures, reminiscent of ambient soundscapes, contrast beautifully with the bursts of improvisational energy, creating a dynamic that’s as intimate as it is expansive.
