"Great, highly musical launch gig by ISQ at The Pizza Express Jazz Club tonight -- like EST with vocals (& in an entirely good way)" - John L Walters

One of the main characteristics of ISQ's music and the thing that renders them so unique, is the way the band blends the emotional simplicity of pop music with the refined, improvisational elements of Jazz.
