Chris Biscoe Profiles Quartet |
Chris Biscoe

Touring in early 2012 with support from Jazz Services and the Performing Rights Society, the Chris Biscoe Profiles Quartet is playing four gigs around the country and will be joined on a further two concerts by Henry Lowther and Kate Williams to complete the Mingus Profiles Sextet.
The Sextet was created especially for the 2011 Southbank Meltdown Festival curated by Ray Davies, and plays arrangements of Mingus classics such as Goodbye Pork Pie Hat, Fable of Faubus Pussy Cat Dues and Boogie Stop Shuffle as well as less familiar works like Duke’s Choice and The Man Who Never Sleeps.
As you might guess from these titles and the band name we emphasise Mingus’s many portraits of friends, lovers, political enemies, fellow musicians and one potty-trained cat.

The Profiles Quartet mostly features music from the CD ‘Gone in the Air – The Music of Eric Dolphy’, but also includes some of the Mingus repertoire and has toured extensively since 2008.
