Event information

Serendip Quartet is a band led by saxophonist Arnaud Guichard.
Their repertoire is all original compositions inspired by narratives creating a very intimate and unique universe.

A journey through Spiritual, Afro, Free and contemporary jazz.

They have released two albums between 2018 and 2021.
The first album the Tale is inspired by the Persian tale The three Princes of Serendip and melodically describes characters of the tale.

Queen of Fire, their most recent release, narrates the healing journey of a woman survivor of sexual assault as a weapon of war. It is dedicated to the victims of the attacks happening in the Democratic Republic of Congo and to the Dr Denis Mukwege who helps the survivors to recover from these atrocities.

Part of this year's EFG London Jazz Festival the quartet features Arnaud Guichard - tenor Sax/Composition, Mike De Souza - electric guitar, Jasper De roeck - double bass and Jay Davis - drums.
