Overview
Scottish Soul: From the Outer Hebrides to the Deep South, Brian Molley Quartet explore the Celtic roots of jazz. Glasgow’s multi award-winning group perform a ground-breaking suite revealing the deep, often-overlooked influence of Scottish music on the evolution of jazz. Tracing a path from the Outer Hebrides to the US, the ensemble fuses traditional folk and sea shanties with Afro-Caribbean grooves, fugue and gospel. BMQ’s exhilarating performances explore why the roots of jazz are far more Scottish than we think. World-class jazz with a vibrant, Highland heart.
