Ben Wilcock Quartet
About
Out-of-this-world jazz with the Ben Wilcock QuartetMusic Whakatane is thrilled to present the Ben Wilcock Quartet in partnership with Chamber Music New Zealand. On Saturday 5 August at the Church of St George & St John, pianist and composer Ben Wilcock is joined by some of Aotearoa’s best jazz musicians to showcase his latest album, The River Tethys.
For his nationwide tour, the stellar jazz pianist is joined by Wellington-based artists Tristan Carter on violin, Dan Yeabsley on double bass, and award-winning drummer John Rae. Wilcock’s outfit—the same talented line-up of musicians featured on the studio recording—shines as an ensemble with its dynamic voice and melodic clarity.
Along with Wilcock’s original compositions, expect the quartet’s live performance to include impressive improvisations and refreshing arrangements of jazz standards.
