Description

For her second Discus Music release, trumpeter Charlotte Keeffe has convened her regular working quartet Right Here, Right Now to explore open ended versions of her compositions which form the basis of their live set. Captured with energy and clarity in the studio, here we have 60 minutes of real group interaction where the music from each player is balanced equally within the total group sound.
"Keeffe is a multi-sided, very inventive and inspired musician." - Dolf Mulder, Vital Weekly
"Each member of the quartet, Moss Freed on guitar, Ashley John Long on double bass, and Ben Handysides on drums has the ability to move between structure and freedom thereby creating constantly evolving pieces. This is definitely one of the ways forward for jazz and improvised music. Charlotte Keeffe is a player of great imagination and sensitivity." - Tony Dudley-Evans, London Jazz News

Charlotte Keeffe: Sound Brush / trumpet, flugelhorn and compositions
Ashley John Long: double bass
Ben Handysides: drums
Moss Freed: guitar

Produced by Martin Archer

Press:

"The radical spirit of offhand precarity which radiates throughout this session frequently bubbles over into an effervescent sense of the imperative to explore. In a word? Fearless." - Presto Music

"A messy emporium of raw, raucous realness. Alive." Keeffe and her quartet nailed it." - Sammy Stein, Free Jazz Blog

"Charlotte Keeffe is rapidly developing a reputation as one of UK's finest improvisers, and ALIVE! in the studio, her second album on the Discus label, amply confirms this reputation." - Tony Dudley-Evans
