About
A list of Jim Rattigan’s accomplishments would fill pages, just as his music fills the air with the sheer joy of creativity. One of the world’s foremost exponents of the French Horn, he is also one of the few to have convincingly adapted it to jazz.
In this, his latest project, he presents new compositions specially written for this superb jazz and string quartet. Experimenting with this non-traditional line-up to create vibrant, exhilarating music. Expect melodic French horn lines, space for improvisation, and complex yet accessible music.
“Rattigan is a composer with a canny approach when it comes to combining the sounds of various instruments.” Dave Gelly, The Guardian
