24 year old Bass player, Ali Watson, has recently been making waves with his new quartet comprising an all star band of Glasgow musicians - Matt Carmichael, Alan Benzie and Greg Irons. They will be showcasing Ali’s compositions from their debut album.
With influence from contemporary jazz, Scottish folk and 20th century impressionist classical music, the band quietly transcends traditional genres to produce a set of often complex, yet accessible music comprising lyrical melodies and thoughtful improvisations.
Originally from the North Coast of Scotland, Ali Watson grew up in Glasgow before moving to London to study at the Guildhall School.
While studying he began writing his first compositions and formed a trio with drummer Tom Potter and Tim Lallemant.
In the summer of 2022 he returned to his homeland and formed this new quartet.
Last year he performed sold out shows in the Edinburgh and Glasgow Jazz festival as well as more recently in Aberdeen and London.
