Brandon Allen and Tim Lapthorn have been performing together for over 16 years. The saxophonist and pianist have played in various quartet formations at Ronnie Scott's for over 8 years. The new official project features brand new material written by the two players, channeling their respective influences. The group’s repertoire has a contemporary flavour, inspired by the likes of Chick Corea, the collaborations of Stan Getz/Kenny Barron, Wayne Shorter, traditional swing and Brazilian music. Both players are known for their passionate and exciting style of playing. They share a chemistry and intuition that pushes the music to places unknown, every night a new destination is reached. There is always a great sense of melody and swing present throughout any given performance. The Quartet is completed by the experienced Arnie Somogyi on bass and the fresh talent of Lloyd Haines on drums.
