Tomeka Reid Quartet

Description

In short: Contemporary jazz full of joy of playing, improvisation, and musical agility. Cellist Tomeka Reid is one of the defining voices of contemporary jazz and improvised music. Together with Mary Halvorson, Jason Roebke, and Tomas Fujiwara, she forms a quartet that combines compositional precision with playful openness. On their current album "dance! skip! hop!" multi-layered soundscapes emerge, where finely woven melodies, spontaneous improvisation, and rhythmic lightness blend together. Personal memories and family stories are as naturally incorporated into the music as the band’s long-standing familiarity. The result is a performance that is both powerful and finely nuanced, living on curiosity, trust, and shared musical discovery. A concert full of movement – in sound as well as in togetherness. Tomeka Reid (cello), Mary Halvorson (g), Jason Roebke (b), Tomas Fujiwara (d)
