East Side favourites return with a quartet playing classic tunes from the vast Blue Note catalogue recorded on well known albums by the likes of Art Blakey, Jimmy Smith, Hank Mobley, Lee Morgan & Joe Henderson with their own style honed over 15 years of playing together!

It’s guaranteed to send you home super happy

Quentin Collins (QC) and Brandon Allen (BA), the hardest hitting trumpet/sax frontline in the business, have just released their latest album, Beauty in Quiet Places, on the Ubuntu Music record label.

The follow up to their highly acclaimed debut album What's It Gonna Be?, released in 2011,  Beauty in Quiet Places consists of all original compositions, written by the pair, with styles ranging from the up-tempo swing of Modal Tranesition (Allen's homage to two of his biggest influences, John Coltrane and Joe Henderson) to the laid back pocket groove of the title track. The opening track,Fuerteventura, takes you on a samba-infused roller coaster ride whilst Oscar's Lullaby showcases the group's softer, more reflective side.

Completing the lineup on Beauty in Quiet Places are QCBA's regular rhythm team of the masterful Ross Stanley on Hammond organ and Ian Thomas on drums.

Since their inception in 2008, QCBA have collaborated with a broad range of artists, including Omar, Paloma Faith, Liane Carroll, Hamish Stuart, Natalie Williams, Gwyneth Herbert, Dennis Rollins and Cleveland Watkiss. This has enabled them to develop the eclectic sound that is so evident in this recording, bringing together a melting pot of Jazz, Brazilian and Funk, always soulful and, crucially, always swinging!

Currently, QCBA are the front line for the Kyle Eastwood band, further allowing them to hone the strong sound of unity which they are renowned for on some of the jazz world's biggest stages.
