Portico Quartet at The Black Box

8.00pm

Jazz pioneers and Mercury nominated Portico Quartet will release their third album - simply titled Portico Quartet - in January 2012.

And true to form, they still sound like nothing you ever heard before as their unique music has expanded to embrace new sonic territories. Drawing on the inspiration of electronica, ambient, classical and dance music, they take their strange, beautiful, cinematic, future music to exciting new vistas where the inspiration of Burial, Mount Kimbie and Flying Lotus rubs shoulders with the textures of Arve Henriksen and Bon Iver and echoes of Steve Reich and Max Richter.

But all underpinned by a shared joy in collective music making as the band push their inimitable music into the future.
