The Speakers Corner Quartet began their life as the house band for the UK’s leading Open Mic event Speakers Corner in the heart of London’s culture capital, Brixton. Here they provided both live backing for & performed with 100's of artist of ranging talent including ALL the leading names in UK Hip Hop as well as some very well established vocalist & Jazz players.
The Combination of Drums, Double Bass, Cello & Flute that the Quartet embody makes for a deeply unique audio-visual experience. This coming from an outfit with its roots entrenched in Hip Hop music & culture coupled with each member’s ability as prolific Jazz & Classical players greatly emphasizes a fantastic cross genre appeal with a contemporized yet frenetic feel & energy.
Since their birth at Speakers Corner Brixton, the Quartet have performed at various prestigious venues including The World Famous Jazz Café in Camden London, The Royal Festival Hall & The Bernie Grants Arts Theatre among others. Their solo material has been compared to the work of Stravinsky, John Coltrane & J Dilla. All comparisons the Quartet are proud to emulate.
Collectively the Quartet have worked alongside Soweto Kinch, David Okumu, Jehst, Blak Twang, Mystro & DJ Vadim among many others on the UK Hip Hop / Jazz circuit.
Their live performances continue to impress and inspire their peers & audiences. Expect a major release from the Quartet in the not so distant future. It is already being warmly anticipated. We hope you enjoy the music.
