23rd March 2016: Julian Argüelles and ‘Tetra’ receive more reviews from European music press.

Esteemed British saxophonist Julian Argüelles brings his working quartet, Tetra, to Whirlwind in an immersive, hour-long sequence of material written specifically with his colleagues in mind: Kit Downes (piano), Sam Lasserson (bass) and James Maddren (drums).

In this new release, his respect for, and collaboration with, today’s eclectic strain of younger jazz musicians kindles a mutually imaginative spark with an equal emphasis on composition and freedom of improvisation, often melodically or texturally blurring those divisions.

 

Here are the highlights of the latest reviews from the European press received for Tetra:

“Dynamic with deftly executed tempo changes and improvisatory touches.”
Hörspiegel (website)

“An excellent album… Deserves to be widely heard.”
Jazz Podium (website)

“Complex compositions and folk inspired pieces that create space for soloists to stretch out.”
Stereo (website)
