As the audience took to their seats for Tim Garland’s headline performance at the 2016 Manchester Jazz Festival, a growing sense of anticipation was tangible. After all, the British reedsman’s credentials speak for themselves in a career which has seen him working on countless solo and collaborative jazz projects, including notable stints with legendary artists Chick Corea and Bill Bruford. Playing broadly from recent album release ONE, Garland was joined by his colleagues in this new ‘Electric Quartet’ – Jason Rebello (piano/keyboards), Ant Law (guitars) and Asaf Sirkis (drums/percussion).
As both composer and saxophonist, Garland possesses a distinctive musical persona – yet this project, in which he judiciously also contributes electronic percussion, takes the instrumental possibilities a good deal further. His working relationships with the brilliant Rebello and Sirkis go back many years, but it was previous album Songs to the North Sky which introduced the multifarious skills of young guitarist Ant Law to establish this quartet – and how he shone across this two-hour live set.
