Ali Watson Quartet
Pizza Express Jazz Club, W1D 3RW , [Venue Details]Originally hailing from the Highlands, growing up in Glasgow and Studying in London, 25 year old bass player Ali Watson has recently been making waves with his quartet comprising an all star band of Glasgow musicians - Matt Carmichael, Alan Benzie and Greg Irons.
After releasing their debut album in November last year, Watson is excited to present new, freshly polished material. 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.
Originally from the North Coast of Scotland, Ali Watson grew up in Glasgow before moving to London to study at the Guildhall School. While studying Watson began writing his first compositions and formed a trio with drummer Tom Potter and Tim Lallemant. In the summer of 2022 however he returned to his homelands, forming a new quartet of leading Glasgow Musicians; Alan Benzie, Matt Carmichael and Greg Irons. Last year he performed sold out shows in the Edinburgh and Glasgow Jazz festival as well as more recently in Aberdeen and London.
