Cotham Club Presents: Al Swainger’s Pointless Beauty Quartet
A live powerhouse of spacey, head-bobbing, cinematic jazz/electronica.
Prolific Bristol-based bass-player/composer Al Swainger and his jaw-droppingly accomplished instrumental collective meld immaculate progressive jazz with cinematic electronic ambience to a truly unique and seductive effect.
Their inspired set effortlessly morphs from immersive, transcendent soundscapes through clubby dancefloor chillout to ecstatically groovy, feel-good communal vibes.
Graced with strong band interplay and lauded for their technical wizardry and heartfelt musicianship, there's much to captivate: distinctive and thoughtful lead brass lines, atmospheric keys and ethereal synths, extraordinary FX-shrouded bass, and rolling rock drums.
This is hypnotic, sonically adventurous jazz/electronica fusion music with enough oomph and sass and funk to catch your attention and keep you moving.
