A collaboration between three powerful performers/composers, ‘The Other Side’ sees musical styles woven together into a lyrical tapestry of sound, blending improvisation with co-created original compositions. A truly unique ensemble in compositional process and performance style. On 5th June, Quest Ensemble will release their sophomore album ‘The Other Side’. With nods to influences as broad as the contemporary minimalism of John Adams and Steve Reich, the experimental melancholic textures of Radiohead to the progressive jazz precision of Brad Mehldau, ‘The Other Side’ inhabits its own soundworld somewhere in the gaps between chamber, jazz, folk and contemporary classical music. From the emotive ‘Moments’, the elasticated melodies of ‘Pendulum’, to the fluid lines and compelling urgency of ‘The Boatman’ and ‘Pedal Down’, Quest Ensemble’s compositions fuse layered melodies and rhythmic patterns to create contrapuntal webs of sound. The process involves sharing improvised ideas, building up layers of music on each instrument to create a patchwork of musical themes with a rich vein of surging Reichian rhythms underpinning each. Fusing their backgrounds in western classical, Indian classical, jazz and improvisational technique, Filipe Sousa (piano), Tara Franks (cello) and Preetha Narayanan (violin) are all graduates of the Guildhall School of Music Leadership Programme. In May 2014, Quest Ensemble released their much-lauded debut album ‘Footfall’, a collection of part-composed and part-improvised original compositions, steeped in the sense of place that inspired the sound and imagination of their stories. From an ancient leper hospice in Oxford to a stark urban underground rehearsal space, each piece poetically reflects a moment in time, a passing footfall. Since 2009, Quest Ensemble have regularly worked with schools, colleges, youth and community groups across the UK, leading creative music projects with musicians of all ages and backgrounds, transferring their collaborative composition methods to community settings, enabling others to experience their way of working. Most recently, the trio were commissioned to create a show with visual artist Somang Lee that was premiered at Centro Cultural de Belém, Lisbon, Portugal as a part of the Big Bang Festival 2018. Organisations and charities Quest Ensemble have worked with include The Barbican, Aldeburgh Music, Music First, Beita Musica (Palestine), and Sunland Express (Mexico). “Compositionally complex, inventive in technique, and wonderfully ambiguous in tonality, this was a joy to behold” Jazzwize “The interplay of musical lines is dextrous and intriguing” London Jazz News “The sound world is in that intersection between minimalism, post-modernism and jazz with a free flowing between the three… highly effective and affecting” Planet Hugill Artist Quest Ensemble Genre Jazz Label Phantom Limb Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings Space Between Moment Pendulum Drops The Other Side The Boatman Land of None Pizz Trance Pedal Down Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Jazz View Product Quick View Hasaan Ibn Ali Reaching For The Stars: Trios / Duos / Solos Jazz | Omnivore Recordings | 2LP Released 10th November 2023 £29.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Hasaan Ibn Ali Reaching For The Stars: Trios / Duos / Solos £29.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Omnivore Recordings SKU: 0810075113518 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 10th November 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Eddie Fisher The Third Cup (Verve By Request) Jazz | Decca (UMO) / Jazz / Verve | 180g, 1LP Released 29th March 2024 £33.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Eddie Fisher The Third Cup (Verve By Request) £33.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Decca (UMO) / Jazz / Verve SKU: 5849225 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 29th March 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Thelonious Monk Mønk Jazz | Gearbox | 1LP Released 26th March 2021 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Thelonious Monk Mønk £22.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Gearbox SKU: GB1541OBI Formats: 1LP Released Date: 26th March 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Oscar Peterson Trio Live at the Concertgebouw 1961 (The Lost Recordings) Jazz | The Lost Recordings | CD Released 12th September 2023 £TBC Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Oscar Peterson Trio Live at the Concertgebouw 1961 (The Lost Recordings) £TBC Genre: Jazz Label: The Lost Recordings SKU: FON 1604023 Formats: CD Released Date: 12th September 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Lester Young & Teddy Wilson Pres & Teddy Jazz | Verve/Universal | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 20th October 2014 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Lester Young & Teddy Wilson Pres & Teddy £14.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Verve/Universal SKU: 5352039 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 20th October 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Wayne Shorter Schizophrenia (Tone Poet) Jazz | Blue Note Tone Poet | 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 15th September 2023 £36.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Wayne Shorter Schizophrenia (Tone Poet) £36.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note Tone Poet SKU: 4849853 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 15th September 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bad Plus It’s Hard Jazz | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 4th November 2016 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bad Plus It’s Hard £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP1785 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 4th November 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jackie McLean 4,5 and 6 (Mono) Jazz | Analogue Productions | 180g, 1LP Released 22nd October 2012 £45.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Jackie McLean 4,5 and 6 (Mono) £45.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Analogue Productions SKU: APRJ7048 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 22nd October 2012 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Joey Defrancesco & The People Project Freedom Jazz | Mack Avenue | 2LP Released 30th June 2017 £27.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Joey Defrancesco & The People Project Freedom £27.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Mack Avenue SKU: MAC1121LP Formats: 2LP Released Date: 30th June 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jazzrausch Bigband Emergenz Jazz | ACT | 1LP Released 29th July 2022 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jazzrausch Bigband Emergenz £25.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ACT SKU: ACTLP9954-1 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 29th July 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Jazz Start again
