Gordon Grdina Quartet
Gordon Grdina-oud
Oscar Noriega-Alto, Bass Clarinet

This wild, eclectic project combines intricate counterpoint with dynamic yet focused improvisation. Inspired by the complexity of Bartok, the freedom of Ornette Coleman, the intensity of Sound Garden and the delicacy of Webern. This carefully formed quartet combines the traditions of jazz improvisation, complex yet memorable compositions and a dynamic freedom that ebbs and flows with each tune.
