Born in the Scottish Highlands, growing up in Glasgow and Studying in London, 25 year old bass player Ali Watson has recently been making waves with his quartet comprising an all star band of Glasgow musicians – Matt Carmichael, Alan Benzie and Greg Irons. After releasing their debut album in November this year, Watson is excited to present new, freshly polished material.
With influence from contemporary jazz, Scottish folk and 20th century impressionist classical music, the band quietly transcends traditional genres to produce a set of often complex, yet accessible music comprising lyrical melodies and thoughtful improvisations.
