Book tickets for Julian Costello Quartet

The Julian Costello Quartet featuring Julian Costello on Tenor and Soprano Sax, Maciek Pysz on Electric and Classical Guitars, Yuri Goloubev on Double Bass and Adam Teixeira on Drums/Percussion will be performing tunes from their highly acclaimed album Transitions. "It's an inventive, good- humored album full of warmth and humanity.....The music encompasses free-form passages, flowing and often romantic melodies, insistent hooks (the lovely "Earworm" isn't the only earworm on this album) and inventive soloing. Bruce Lindsay for All About Jazz. They are touring the UK and will be holding Q and A sessions with audiences and playing some new compositions. Tunes from the album have been featured on radio stations in France, Italy, Poland, Germany and the USA. Maciek and Julian played live in session on Jazzfm "Beautiful" Chris Philips and the US Critic ken Avis said ""Its one of those albums which creates it's own mood, an album to listen to from beginning to end....and then come back to it, time after time. Musicianship in service of the music more than the ego".
