Guitarist Kristian Borring has a new quartet including pianist Rick Simpson, Jon Scott (drums), Dave Whitford (bass).
It’s always exciting to be in at the start of a new band, and that’s the chance we have here tonight at the Vortex. Many of our recent best bands have had early outings at the Vortex, such as Polar Bear and Phronesis. From hard swing to no-nonsense grooves, contemplative melodies to intricate musical interplay, Borring’s compositions show off his much praised sense of melody and colorful harmony in an adventurous playground of rhythm.
