Sweet Dusk is an album of original compositions for the Quartz Saxophone Quartet by baritone saxophonist Mick Foster. Sitting at the nexus of jazz and classical writing, Foster’s language is sophisticatedly accessible, combining contemporary jazz harmonies with soaring melodies and a pulsating rhythmic intensity. The Quartet speak this language as their own, with their members’ unique combination of experience in symphony orchestras, jazz bands, and West End shows. Sensitively recorded by Matt Wadsworth, they have a beautiful, clear, warm sound, which lets each soloist shine through whilst giving a homogeneous glow to the ensemble.
