Britian’s premier contemporary jazz quartet presents its most inventive, esoteric post-bop experience to date! With the members still in their mid-20s, Empirical’s smart post-bop musical style, coupled with its “suited and booted” sartorial sharpness, has drawn admiring notices on both sides of the Atlantic. Since being discovered by Courtney Pine, who produced their eponymous debut album for his own label, Empirical wowed critics & fans alike with their acclaimed Eric Dolphy-inspired album Out ‘n’ In, which became a hit on many year-end “best of” lists in Europe and the US.
