Alison Rayner | ARQ  

With Diane Mcloughlin (sax), Deirdre Cartwright (gtr), Steve Lodder (pno), Buster Birch (dms)
ARQ is a closely-attuned and creative ensemble led by Alison Rayner, a bass-player and composer for almost 40 years. She won the Jazz Services Recording Subsidy Award for 2013 and the first ARQ album ‘August’ is released in October 2014. Alison’s original compositions draw on a love for lyrical melodies, deep grooves and influences from folk, funk and Latin.

“Deliciously upbeat, groovy and thoughtful jazz…the recent album August shows her to be a superb composer to boot… a perfect showcase of Rayner’s diverse talents”
Jazz UK October 2014
