4. Howl Quartet
About: Howl Quartet takes inspiration from "Howl", Allen Ginsberg's seminal poem. The immediacy of the verse and intense conviction behind Ginsberg's writing reflects the band's approach to composition and performance.
The band is a dynamic, expressive outlet emphasising storytelling through melodic composition and improvisation. Formed of old friends and collaborators, this co-led acoustic quartet emerged in 2017 through a passion for developing a collective sound.
Inspired by artists such as Endangered Blood, The Bad Plus and Brian Blade and the fellowship band, there is an innate freedom and creativity to their music.
