ARQ – Alison Rayner Quintet
East Side Jazz Club, E11 3DB , [Venue Details]- Alison Rayner: bass
- Buster Birch: drums
- Deirdre Cartwright: guitar
- Diane McLoughlin: saxophone
- Steve Lodder: piano
ARQ return to the East Side. They will be releasing their fourth album Semaphore in March
Led by bassist and composer Alison Rayner, multi award-winning quintet ARQ are widely celebrated from several years of extensive UK and European touring – and critically acclaimed for their three album releases August (2014) , A Magic Life (2016) and Short Stories (2019).
Their music combines richly nuanced compositions, rhythmic interplay and folk-infused melodies; this, along with their love of improvisation, creates a strong sense of narrative and cinematic quality. ARQ play ‘songs without words’ and are lauded for their vibrant, communicative performances.
Short Stories, their most recent album, supported by Arts Council England and the PRS Foundation, garnered extensive press acclaim and international radio play; its release was followed by a twenty-four date UK promotional tour with one of the songs from the album ‘There is a Crack in Everything’ subsequently winning a 2019 Ivor Novello Composer Award.
