Silke Eberhard, Sarah Tandy, Daniel Casimir, Kay Lübke

In 2002, at the age of 20, Sarah Tandy won the coveted award of the BBC’s young classical pianist of the year for her performance of Sergej Prokofiev’s 1st Piano Concerto. Since then her music has changed course and she has become one of the most remarkable pianists on the London jazz scene. The bassist Daniel Casimir, who studied at the Birmingham and Trinity Laban Conservatoires and received tuition from Dave Holland, frequently plays with Tandy both in her own trio and in the quartet of the saxophonist Camilla George. Equally, the saxophonist Silke Eberhard and the drummer Kay Lübke – both well known to Berlin audiences – play regularly together in the saxophonist’s acclaimed trio. This is a first meeting of the two halves of tonight’s quartet, representing a combination of familiarity and unfamiliarity that has an important place in jazz history. It’s the sound of musicians discovering each other on the bandstand, offering each other support and inspiration in a mood of relaxed dialogue based on a rich common language.
