Wayne McGregor | Random Dance presents Random Works with Leafcutter John & Aurora Orchestra

Manchester based quartet, Mercury's unashamed rock 'n' roll aesthetic draws influences from a wide spectrum of musical genres such as as Classical Avant-Garde, ECM jazz, Dub-Step and Grunge. Mercury constantly endeavour to find new ways to interpret the traditional roles within the Jazz Quartet format. This is improvised jazz music from a different place, looking back whilst striding confidently forward.

Saxophonist Tom Thorpe spoke to us about how they came together as a quartet, their sound and what you can expect from their gig at Kings Place on 14 December...

Mercury Quartet

Haiku Salut are an instrumental trio from the Derbyshire Dales who describe themselves as a 'Baroque-Pop-Folktronic-Neo-Classical-Something-Or-Other'. Influenced by the evocative film soundtracks of Yann Tiersen and Benoît Charest, the genre-melting electronica of Ametsub and early Múm, and the impressionistic writing of Haruki Murakami, the band’s debut album Tricolore came out last year, to critical acclaim (★★★★ The Guardian, Uncut, Drowned In Sound, Artrocker, Rock’N’Reel & more).

Ed Dowie has composed scores for theatre and short films and has two solo EPs 'Unpacking My Library', released in response to the Paravion Press publication of a Walter Benjamin essay of the same name and 'The Adjustable Arm', released in 2013.
