Tenor saxophone and cello feature in this new quartet led by saxophonist Julian Costello. Expect melodic, cinematic original compositions, along with interpretations of Jimi Hendrix, Sarah Vaughan and some jazz standards. The set is also infused by World Music-inspired riffs and grooves with the soprano sax and oud.

Julian has toured Europe and the UK several times, and has released a number of highly-praised albums, recorded in studios from Italy to Norway. The newest is due for release later in 2024. London Jazz News described his work as "a saxophonist?s original chamber jazz writing which meanders between wistfulness, adventure and perky mischief.... Costello imbues his instrumental pieces with emotion, space and lyricism". Reviewing a live gig, another writer added: "Musically this was one of the most satisfying performances in the history of the Club, Costello and his colleagues really were a class act, with the leader impressing both as an instrumentalist and a composer."

Alongside Julian in Vertigo are Natalie Rozario (cello and vocals), Stefanos Tsourelis (oud and guitar) and Sophie Alloway (drums).
