Harry Christelis

Whilst Christelis (guitar and composition) is the ostensible group leader of the quartet, there is a palpably communal sense about the band. It is a group that produces explorative contemporary jazz, with deep musical conversation between all the players. Featuring Christos Stylianides, Andrea Di Biase and Dave Storey, each draw on their divergent experience and pedigree to colour, shape and delineate the soundworlds evoked. The music brings to mind the Fourth Worlds of Jon Hassell, and the deep space of ECM. But these are mere comparisons. The quartet's debut album 'Nurture The Child / Challenge The Adult' draws you into an ecosystem you have never visited before – a place you’d want to spend an hour: comfortably unfamiliar, intimately remote, beguilingly melancholic, and distressingly beautiful.

Line Up: Harry Christelis - guitar, Christos Stylianides - trumpet, Andrea di Biase - double bass & Dave Storey - drums
