The quartet will be playing several of the tunes from the album Up on the Downs in addition to many new numbers which feature the exciting saxophone playing of Phil Paton and some covers of numbers by Chick Corea, Hiromi, Michel Camilo and the Yellowjackets.

The quartet produces a more electric and rhythmically bright set than the trio gigs and with 
the agile bass playing of Antoine Ollivier on both upright and electric 5 string basses this performance should be one to make sure you do not miss.
