The Nick Costley-White Quartet combine their love and deep understanding for the jazz tradition with a fresh and contemporary approach. The quartet’s debut album, ‘Detour Ahead’ on Ubuntu Music, portrays a narrative exploring the group’s musical journey, beginning with performances which draw from the American Songbook tradition and travel through to a more modern aesthetic, inspired by the surroundings of London’s exciting Jazz scene. This journey explores sounds from many perspectives simultaneously. Forms, harmonies and rhythms are superimposed and abstracted but still retain their essential function, whilst the improvisations express the excitement and beauty of these frameworks.
