Description

ISQ is a critically-acclaimed post-jazz/alternative quartet from London featuring Irene Serra (vocals Wynton Marsalis, Norma Winstone, US3), Richard Sadler (double bass founding member of the Neil Cowley Trio), Naadia Sheriff (piano Yazz Ahmed, Hermeto Pascoal) and Chris Nickolls (drums Andy Sheppard, Jean Touissant).

Described as EST with vocals, this crossover jazz outfit embraces the song as an improvisational framework to move into different sometimes unexpected sonic directions and moods, along with some beloved jazz standards. It is in a live setting that these musicians really show their jazz roots, expanding the framework of the songs and relishing in the musical spontaneity and interplay. Hear them when you get the chance.
