The acclaimed saxophonist and composer Rachel Musson brings a new quartet line up to The Bristol Music Club featuring the superbly gifted pianist Elliot Galvin (Dinosaur, Mark Lockheart. Shabaka Hutchings, Norma Winstone), bassist James Opstad (best known for his work with the experimental music ensemble, Apartment House) and the internationally renowned drummer and percussionist Mark Sanders (Evan Parker, Peter Brotzmann, Derek Bailey, Roswell Rudd, Keith Tippett, Paul Dunmall and many more).
This quartet brings together four of the most inventive musical voices on the UK scene for what promises to be a fascinating evening blending composition and improvisation.
RACHEL MUSSON is a UK based saxophonist, improviser and composer with a growing reputation in Europe and the States. She is a current (2024-2027) recipient of the prestigious Paul Hamlyn Composer award.

She features on several releases, including a Nonet featuring her composition 'I Went This Way' (on the New York based 577 Records), two with Shifa, featuring Pat Thomas and Mark Sanders, (577 Records), one with Mark Sanders and John Edwards (Two Rivers Records), a Trio with Liam Noble and Mark Sanders (Babel), and Corey Mwamba (Takuroku).
