Darius Brubeck – piano 
Dave O’Higgins - saxophone 
Matt Ridley - bass 
Wesley Gibbens- drums 

Dave Brubeck’s ground-breaking explorations into unusual time signatures turned the jazz world on its head back in the late 50s with the global hit Take Five. Darius Brubeck tips his hat to the family legacy, with his father’s hits acting as the jumping off point for new music that is in part inspired by years working in South Africa. Saxophonist Dave O’Higgins has long been one of Britain’s finest, and bassist Matt Ridley and drummer Wesley Gibbens complete a fine quartet whose melodic, spontaneous, rhythmic and engaging music is the hallmark of a band reflecting on its ten-year history. Latest album, Darius Brubeck Quartet Live in Poland was listed by Downbeat magazine as one of the ‘best of 2020’.
