STUDIO1095 Ep3 Evans Robson Quartet

Evans Robson Quartet Sandy Evans tenor and soprano saxophone Andrew Robson alto and baritone saxophone, recorder Brett Hirst bass Hamish Stuart drums This collaboration features renowned saxophonists Sandy Evans and Andrew Robson in a dynamic ensemble rich with energy, passion, groove, spontaneity, and imagination. Completing the stellar line-up are the sensational bass player Brett Hirst and brilliant drummer Hamish Stuart. Evans and Robson have worked together in several projects since the early 1990s including, Ten Part Invention, the Mara Big Band and Robson’s Thomas Tallis Project, but for the first time, the Evans/Robson Quartet sees them join forces to co-lead a small group. The project features compositions by Evans and Robson that explore a wide range of contemporary jazz and improvised music. Evans’ powerful tenor sound and soaring soprano melodies combined with Robson’s great sense of groove and an uncanny instinct for melodic lyricism create a beautiful and engaging musical dialogue. In Hurst and Stuart, there is one of Australia’s most accomplished rhythm sections, generating a funky, joyous improvised space that can be deep, driving, fun-filled, or tender.
