Description
Human is the new world-class quartet assembled by Irish-born drummer and composer Stephen Davis. For this exciting new project, he's joined by three of the most creative young artists on the UK left-field jazz and Improv scene: Alexander Hawkins on piano, Alex Bonney on trumpet and Dylan Bates on violin.
In style and spirit, the music on Being Human is inspired by - and pays tribute to - the early masters of free jazz. But you'll find no museum pieces here. This is vibrant, brash and lively free music, viewed from a fresh, 21st century perspective. It's a challenge this stellar band is more than capable of meeting.
It's the kind of preternatural interplay and instantaneous musical communication you'd expect from four musicians of this caliber. More than that, it's a ready-made modern classic of avant-jazz.
