BRASS JAW

The critically acclaimed saxophone quartet Brass Jaw, already well known for challenging the boundaries of “chamber jazz”
have now extended them still further.

The inclusion of the ace trumpeter Ryan Quigley creates a new ensemble that is truly unique in sound and direction.

Brass Jaw bristles with the excitement of a completely original set
including the odd quirky arrangement of well loved jazz standards, all
written and arranged by this stellar line up of Scottish Jazz musicians.

Following their hugely successful National tour of the United Kingdom
in 2005, which also saw them perform live on BBC Radio Scotland,
Brass Jaw have seen a rapid rise in popularity, cumulating in the release of their début album “BURN”. 2006 has seen them perform at the Clusone Jazz Festival (Italy), Glasgow International Jazz Festival, Islay Jazz Festival and a second appearance at the award winning Wakefield Jazz Club.

In 2007 Brass Jaw completed their second National UK tour,
Highlights included launching the Lancaster Jazz Festival,
performing in London's famous Pizza Express Jazz Club and
The Scarborough Jazz Festival, where they performed to their
largest audience to date of approximately 600 people.
