Lunchtime Jazz Concert: Happenstance Quartet

Description

Initially united by their love for the music of Wayne Shorter and The Beatles, this new European four-piece carefully assembled a repertoire encompassing their favourite composers in addition to jazz standards and compositions by each band member. They were lucky enough to workshop and refine their music with Mark Turner, Larry Grenadier and Ambrose Akinmusire amongst others, whilst studying at the prestigious Jazzcampus in Basel and are looking forward to recording their first album there in the winter of 2022. Happenstance brings together four distinct voices in European jazz, each flavoured by their home nations of France, Spain, Czech Republic and Barnsley respectively. They are very excited to present their new music for the first time in their 2023 UK tour.
