Empirical are five young musicians of
awe-inspiring talent and originality. European Broadcasting
Union Jazz Competition Winners, they have just released their
debut album on Courtney Pine’s record label, Destin-E.
They perform with astonishing musical
maturity, confidence and a cohesiveness derived from many
years of playing together. Empirical is dedicated to maintaining
the roots of traditional modern jazz but has a definite finger
on the pulse of the contemporary world. Style-wise: think
Ornette Coleman meets Wayne Shorter meets John Coltrane meets
Ali Farka Toure meets Steve Coleman - performed with an abundance
of youthful energy.
Jay Phelps - Trumpet
Nathaniel Facey – Alto Sax
Kit Downes - Piano
Tom Farmer - Double Bass
Shane Forbes - Drums
