Alexandra Ridout Quartet: Jazz Ensemble in New York

About Alexandra Ridout Quartet

The Alexandra Ridout Quartet is led by English trumpeter Alexandra Ridout, who won the BBC Young Musician Jazz Award in 2016. In New York City, the group is heard at Smalls Jazz Club, where the late-night room’s close quarters keep the focus on ensemble interplay and line. Ridout’s writing and improvising draw on modern jazz language while staying attentive to melody and swing. Her performances tend to favor clarity over spectacle.
