Reuben Bradley Quartet

18 July 2010

Reuben Bradley Quartet

@ Chicago Sports Café

About Reuben Bradley: A drummer well versed in both the traditional Jazz world and the modern contemporary jazz movement.

Functioning as a sideman and collaborator with such artists led to a realization that the kind of jazz music heard in his head is not yet heard in New Zealand. This in turn led to the desire to compose and record an album of original, eclectic modern music, influenced by the concept of the circadian rhythm.

By relating its effects into a musical setting; (how the sun, moon and tides shape our very lives and planet), and told through the use of diverse instrumentation and various harmonic and rhythmic cycles, the end result is much more open than your usual jazz album. With a focus of improvisation and swinging grooves mixed with electronic urban rhythms and textural sonic sound scapes, his self-produced album carries a strong and unique message of diversification and connection.

The band:
Reuben Bradley: Drums
Rory MacArtney: Bass
James Illingworth: Piano
Kirsten TeRito: Vocals
Horn Player: TBA
