Originally hailing from the Highlands, growing up in Glasgow and studying in London, 24 year old bass player Ali Watson has recently been making waves with his new quartet comprising an all star band of Glasgow musicians – Matt Carmichael, Alan Benzie and Greg Irons. In preparation for recording their debut album in February, Watson is excited to present new, freshly polished material ahead of the album’s release. 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.
